Scholarly writing adheres to the principle of academic integrity. The Exemplary Academic Integrity Project at the University of South Australia provides the following plain-English definition of academic integrity: https://lo.unisa.edu.au/file.php/6751/Plain_English_Definition_of_Academic_Integrity.pdf “Academic integrity means acting with the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility in learning, teaching and research. It is important for students, teachers, researchers and all staff to act in an honest way, be responsible for their actions, and show fairness in every part of their work. Staff should be role models to students. Academic integrity is important for an individual’s and a school’s reputation”. This means that scholars (students and academics) should act honestly in their written work through acknowledging the sources of their ideas through referencing and by submitting their own work (not work written by others).

101557 The Individual in Society – Workbook – Tutorial 1

Discussing and debating published academic ideas and research is the core of academic writing. Therefore, it must be clear to your reader which ideas and words are yours, and which belong to other authors. This is indicated in academic writing by ‘referencing’ (also called citing). Referencing is also a system for sharing information and ideas; your reader must be able to find any publication or author you cite in the body of your assignment by the details you must include in your referencing list. Be aware that presenting other people’s words and ideas without attribution by referencing is a breach of academic integrity and is taken very seriously in the academic community. Inappropriate academic behaviour can also occur when two or more students submit similar work. An example is if a student passes off another student’s as his or her own. Studying together is one thing, submitting very similar work is another and potentially inappropriate academic behaviour. Past and current students in a unit should not share their work with other students. If that work is re-used for an assignment, both the student who submitted the assignment and the student who provided the assignment could be called in under the Academic Misconduct Rule. You can access the WSU Study Smart platform if you are having trouble referencing or need resources and information about academic writing. https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/studysmart

In the box below write down what academic integrity means to you

Academic Integrity is having a sense of personal responsibility and accountability to ensure that one respects and honours the work of others, while diligently working towards maintaining one’s own personal standard of work.

See: https://westernsydney.edu.au/studysmart/home/academic_integrity_and_plagiarism

Turnitin Most assignments you will submit will be to Turnitin. Turnitin matches the text of your assignment to a large repository of resources, including other students’ assignments from previous years. If you draft your assignments early enough, you can submit to Turnitin to see what your matches are and whether you should be paraphrasing or putting the words of another author in quotation marks. We use Turnitin to see how much of students’ assignments match with other sources. Make sure you read the declaration you make when you submit an assignment to Turnitin; it is at the top of page 7 of the Learning Guide. You can find out more about Turnitin here: 101557 The Individual in Society – Workbook – Tutorial 1

http://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/guides/turnitin/resources-for-students Elements of referencing When you reference, you use elements of information from the publication details in your references, both in the reference list and in the text of your assessments. The information below is taken from I:Cite on the Library website, which is a good resource that provides interactive referencing examples: http://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/guides/referencing-citation/i%3aCite It shows the elements you should use in a reference list entry for a chapter in an edited book, which is what the textbook is. You have been given all the information you need to reference the textbook for this unit. In the future, you may not be given as much information, so it is useful to understand what the elements of referencing are. You will also see from the examples that there are format rules for reference lists. For APA, you use a “hanging indent” (where the lines after the first line are indented) and the lines are double spaced. For Western Sydney University Harvard style, lines are single spaced, with a double space between entries. There is no indent. There are also differences in what punctuation is used (commas, parentheses, etc.), and where the elements are located relative to each other. APA Elements Author(s) of chapter. (Year of publication). Title of chapter. In Editor(s) (Ed[s].), Title of book (pages of the chapter referred to). Place of publication: Publisher.

Textbook reference: Passer, M. W., Smith, R. E., & Norris, K. (2016). The science of psychology. In T. Griffin (Ed.), 101557: The individual in society, (3rd ed., pp. 5-34). North Ryde, Australia: McGrawHill Australia.

Using the information about elements of referencing, fill in the questions below (your answers will be slightly different depending on the edition you have).

What is the name of the textbook? 101557: The Individual in Society What is the name of the first chapter? The Science of Psychology Who is the editor of the book? T Griffin Who are the authors of the first chapter? Passer, MW, Smith, RE & Norris, K What are the page numbers of the first chapter? 5-34 What is the publication date? 2016 Who is the publisher? McGraw-Hill Australia What is the location of the publisher? North Ryde Australia

Referencing in-text When you use information from the textbook, or other readings, in your assignment, you should include a reference (in-text citation). Use the examples in the box below to write in the elements you need in order to make a correctly formatted citation. Include author names, publication date, and any punctuation you need, like commas if needed, parentheses (round brackets), and full stops. Use either Western Sydney University Harvard Style or APA referencing style for Assignment 1. For this activity, choose the referencing style you will be using for the assignment.

Hint: You will find the information at the start of Passer, Smith and Norris (2016) (textbook chap. 1). Elements Author names: Passer, Smith and Norris Publication date: 2016 Example 1 Psychology’s six main perspectives can be simplified into three levels of analysis in order to understand behaviour (Passer, Smith & Norris 2016).

Example 2 Passer, Smith and Norris (2016) state that psychology’s six main perspectives can be simplified into three levels of analysis in order to understand behaviour.

Quoting

When you quote, you have to include not only the authors’ family name(s) and the year of publication, but also the page number. Use the examples in the box below to write in the elements you need to make a correctly formatted citation. Include author names, publication date, page number, and any punctuation you need, like commas if needed, parentheses (round brackets), and full stops.

The activity below contains an example of an explanation for the quote that has been included: WHY the quote was used, or what is important about it. Elements Author names: Passer, Smith and Norris Publication date: 2016 Page number: 13 Quoted text: … are biological creatures living in a complex social world … Example 1 Humans are biological creatures living in a complex social world (Passer, Smith & Norris 2016, p. 13), which is a reason why there are many factors that can explain human behaviour.

Example 2 Passer, Smith and Norris (2016, p. 13) state that people are biological creatures living in a complex social world which is a reason why there are many factors that can explain human behaviour.

Referencing lectures and tutorials

You have quite enough to concentrate on in learning to reference the textbook (an edited book) and the online blog post and newspaper article. You are not, therefore, required to correctly reference lecture and tutorial content. However, you must be precise in stating which lecture or tutorial and exactly what content you are referring to. You could, for example, say something like: In lecture topic 1.3, Tim Griffin explained how levels of analysis can be applied to study and learning … Assignment information This section contains some questions about information in the Learning Guide and Marking Sheet. You will find information for Assignment 1 in the Learning Guide and the Marking Sheet in vUWS and this Tutorial Workbook. Your tutor uses the Marking Sheet to mark your assignment. You should therefore align your assignment to the Marking Sheet.
