Academic Integrity As a student of the QUT academic community, you are asked to uphold the principles of academic integrity during your course of study. QUT sets expectations and responsibilities of students specifically stating that students “adopt an ethical approach to academic work and assessment in accordance with this policy and the Student Code of Conduct (E/2.1)". Students need to be aware that academic integrity refers to text and nontext sources, i.e. "copying or adapting non-text based material created by others, such as diagrams, designs, musical score, audio-visual materials, art work, plans, code or photographs without appropriate acknowledgement" (MOPP C/5.3.6 Academic Integrity). It also includes self-plagiarism, this “involves the reuse by a student of their own work without appropriate acknowledgement of the source. Students should seek express consent from the unit coordinator prior to re-using their own work in an assessment submission" (MOPP C/5.3.6 Academic Integrity). Students are expected to demonstrate their own understanding and thinking using ideas provided by ‘others’ to support and inform their work, always acknowledging the source. While we encourage peer learning, it is not appropriate to share assignments with other students unless your assessment piece has been stated as being a group assignment. If you do share your assignment with another student, and they copy all or part of your assignment for their submission, this is considered collusion and you may be reported for academic misconduct. If you are unsure and need more information http://www.mopp.qut.edu.au/C/C_05_03.jsp#C_05_03.03.mdoc.
