Academic integrity in Singapore

Singapore’s universities, including NUS, SMU and SUSS, treat plagiarism and academic dishonesty as serious disciplinary offences under their codes of student conduct. Penalties can include failing a module, suspension or expulsion. For future lawyers, the stakes are higher still: applicants for admission to the Singapore Bar must be of good character, and academic dishonesty can delay or prevent admission. The Singapore Institute of Legal Education also has strict rules on conduct in the Part A and Part B examinations.

As a company registered in England and Wales, we also comply with the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022 and do not accept orders for written work for assessed assignments from students at post-16 institutions in England.

Why we offer model answers

Many students are unfamiliar with what a strong university level legal answer looks like, particularly in the problem question format used in Singapore law examinations and in the Bar examinations. A model answer is not an end in itself, but a learning tool that shows how to structure analysis, apply authority and write clearly, and complements your own research.

How to use and benefit from our model answers

Treat our model answers like any other research tool. You would not copy a section of a textbook or journal article and hand it in as your own, and you should take the same approach with a model answer. Use it to understand the ideas and authorities your assignment requires, then think critically about whether you agree.

Start by reading the model answer and noting the arguments it makes. Then read the cases, statutes and articles it relies on for yourself. Finally, list your own arguments and evidence, drawing on those sources and your own research, and write your answer in your own words.

It is vital to your academic and professional reputation that the work you submit is entirely your own.

What is plagiarism?

Every institution has its own guidance on plagiarism, and you should always consult it. Plagiarism can include, but is not limited to:

• presenting the words, arguments or ideas of others as your own, or failing to acknowledge them;
• failing to put direct quotations in quotation marks;
• citing sources used by another author as if you had read them yourself; and
• copying large sections of work that is not your own, even if acknowledged.

Universities use software that detects copied text, and may question work that differs in style or quality from a student’s usual work.

Does handing in our model answers amount to plagiarism?

Yes. Although our model answers are original and tailored to your question, handing one in would be plagiarism under the rules of every Singapore university, because you would be presenting another person’s work as your own. It would also breach our Terms and Conditions and our copyright.

If you are unsure whether your approach to a model answer, or to any other service we provide, could lead to a challenge, please contact one of our consultants at enquiries@singaporelawtutor.com.
