EPQ

Hi my school has received a letter about my EPQ having plagiarism due to not properly referencing websites . I have given a statement saying this and that I have not used any AI. Is there anything I need to be worried about? My exam board was edexcel

Hi there,

Personally I think it should be alright as long as the plagerism was very minor and you didnt completly copy and paste a whole section in. That being said I am not an expert and Im still in year 12 doing my own EPQ, so take my word with a pinch of salt because I might be wrong (but hopefully I am not).

like one of the other people said, it all depends on the scale, I really hate to be the bearer of bad news but if the software says u have copied loads of stuff and not referenced it (bc if u copy and past from the internet u need to footnote and put quote marks) then u might be in trouble.
If you haven't done that u should be fine
