undefined Possible consequences of Academic Dishonesty

Common forms of academic dishonesty

undefined Co-operation

Co-operation for a group assignment is not collusion when group members divide individual tasks and collectively finalise assignment for submission

In a group of four members, for example, each member could co-operate as follows:

All to brainstorm and decide on topic
Each member to search and retrieve sources of information, summarise contents, synthesise findings for writing report, do reference citations and bibliography
All to proofread and finalise the assignment for submission

undefined Collusion

When working on an individual assignment, students should do their own research and writing.

What does this mean?

All stages of research, synthesis of information, writing up and citing should be done on your own
You should not get together with one another to write the assignment
You should not get together with one another to divide research tasks and synthesise information
