Academic Misconduct Unfair means (which includes cheating, plagiarism, collusion, re- presentation or using Artificial Intelligence to prepare assignments). • Cheating is any deliberate attempt to deceive and covers a range of offences described in the ICEM Policy on Unfair Means to Enhance Performance. Cheating may include any technique intentionally misused by students in the submitted reports such as intended misuse of quotation marks, using hidden quotes, hidden characters and replaced characters. • Plagiarism describes copying from the works of another person without suitably attributing the published or unpublished works of others. • Collusion is an attempt to deceive the examiners by concealing the true authorship of the student’s work by copying, or imitating another student’s work in detail. This includes copying other student’s consent with his/her consent. It also includes when 2 or more students divide the elements of an assignment amongst themselves and copy one another’s answers. • Using technological aids and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, without specific authorization is considered academic misconduct. • Re-presentation is an attempt to gain credit twice for the same piece of work. • Fabrication is making up research data or results and reporting the same. • Falsification is manipulating the research data or results such that inaccurate information is reported. • Academic penalty: 1. For the first time: the penalty will be 0% for the element of assessment, the plagiarized element of assessment must be resubmitted to the required standard and the mark for the module following resubmission will be restricted to the minimum pass mark (i.e. 40%). 2. In the event of a repeat offence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or re-presentation on the same or any other module within the course; the appropriate penalty will be 0% for the module with no opportunity for reassessment and you will have to retake the module in a subsequent year. Artificial Intelligence Guidance Artificial Intelligence (AI) will breach the academic regulations when: “Using technological aids and AI, including translation software, paraphrasing tools, text generating software (essay bots), and tools to generate graphics or artworks, without specific authorisation.” (source QAA April Initial Key Principles for Students on the use of Artificial Intelligence • Using AI under the tutor’s guidance will be acceptable in certain situations but students need to ensure that they comply with the academic regulations on Academic Integrity. • Ensure the use of the AI tool is in line with the assessment brief and any further advice from the tutor setting the assignment. • Do not rely solely on AI tools to complete assignments. Use AI tools to enhance your work, not as a replacement for it. • Acknowledge the extent to which AI has been used as part of referencing their sources, clarifying the contribution of AI to make clear what is their own work. Students have to cite AI tool they used (such as ChatGPT) and describe how they used it. • Avoid assuming that AI responses are always accurate. AI-generated information may sometimes be inaccurate or misleading. • Keep drafts to evidence the thinking and development of the work if requested. • Students may be asked to respond to questions to test their knowledge of their assessed work. • Failure to follow this advice may lead to allegations of academic misconduct and will impact students’ ability to defend themselves. Accepted Similarity Index • The College uses an online Assessment Tool called Turnitin. Students are required to self-submit their own assignment on Turnitin and will be given access to the Originality Reports arising from each submission. • The accepted similarity percentage for an assessment is about 10%. However, the case may still be reported for investigation if the similarity percentage is below 10% subject to the Module Tutor’s academic judgment. • Similarity percentages above 10 % will be reported to the Unfair Means to Enhance Performance Committee subject to the discussion with the Module Tutor/justification from the Module Tutor. The case may or may not be formally investigated. Penalties of Academic Misconduct All instances or allegations of the use of unfair means within summative assessment will be investigated in line with the college UMEP policy. If an allegation is found to be proven, then the appropriate penalty will be implemented: • For the first time: the penalty will be 0% for the element of assessment, the plagiarized element of assessment must be resubmitted to the required standard and the mark for the module following resubmission will be restricted to the minimum pass mark (i.e. 40%). • In the event of a repeat offence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or re-presentation on the same or any other module within the course; the appropriate penalty will be 0% for the module with no opportunity for reassessment and you being able to retake the module in a subsequent year.

Student demonstrates an exceptional ability to contextualise, to critically appreciate concepts and their inter-relationship, and/or to relate theory with evidence. Exceptional ability to apply, in the right measure, the skills necessary to achieve a desired outcome. Evidence of very extensive, if not exhaustive reading and study beyond the course content. Clear evidence of independent thought. The presentation is highly sophisticated, fluent and accurate and in an appropriate format. The material is presented in a focused way, so as to help sustain the argument. Citation and referencing are impeccable. The work may be as good, if not better, than you imagine a professional tutor could write, and is possibly of publishable quality. Written work is directly relevant to the title. Knowledge and understanding is comprehensive in both breadth and depth. Student demonstrates a clear ability to contextualise, to critically appreciate concepts and their inter-relationship, and/or to relate theory with evidence. Outstanding ability to apply, in the right measure, the skills necessary to achieve a desired outcome. Evidence of extensive reading and study beyond the course content. Clear evidence of independent thought. The presentation is highly sophisticated, fluent and accurate and in an appropriate format. The material is presented in a focused way, so as to help sustain the argument. Citation and referencing are impeccable. Written work is directly relevant to the title. The knowledgebase is up-to-date and relevant, but may also be broad or deep. Work reflects a thorough grasp of concepts and of the inter-relationship, and a significant ability to relate theory to practice. The presentation is very good and in an appropriate format, the material generally well focused, reflecting a high degree of literacy. Arguments may LEVEL SIX sometimes be outstanding and reflective of genuine independent thought, but are not always consistently at that level. Material is very well presented and citation and referencing are very good. LOWER SECOND (50-59%) THIRD (40-49%) COMPENSATABLE FAIL (35-39%) Written work is directly relevant to the title. Arguments may be generally relevant but not necessarily comprehensive. The student displays an awareness of what concepts are, but the ability to conceptualise, and/or to relate theory to evidence, is clearly limited. Frequent use of assertion rather than argument. Grammar and spelling sound, but perhaps with occasional lapses. Material is well presented and in an appropriate format. Citation and referencing are generally good but may contain some errors. Written work is predominantly relevant to the title. Knowledge is adequate but limited and/or superficial, with a tendency to inaccuracy. Limited awareness of concepts. Limited ability to contextualise, and to relate theory to evidence. Frequently, evidence (which may be accurate) is deployed superficially with lack of focus. Almost always offers description/assertion rather than argument. Grammar may be poor, or the linkage between paragraphs may be weak. Competent presentation and an acceptable format, although deficiencies are clearly evident. Citation and referencing are present but may contain quite a few errors. At least 45% of material presented is relevant but there may be limited reference to the question. A generally poor but compensatable answer with extensive errors and omissions, or a substantial answer on the general topic in which the specific, central question is misinterpreted or avoided, or a very good essay in note form. Presentation is poor and sometimes inarticulate. Little evidence of appropriate reading but citation and referencing must be present, although there may be a substantial number of errors. (Note – absence of citation and referencing at Level 3 must be regarded as a clear failure and must be awarded
