Dove Tailing

Dovetailing is when you copy and use your own work from a previous assignment on a new assignment.

According to me, it is not a plagiarism. You are rewriting your own work not others.It can be a type of academic dishonesty. But it can\'t be a plagiarism.

I think the students should take prior approval from the faculty before re-submitting the old assignment.
