IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Plagiarism, cheating and collusion are regarded as very serious offences. Allegations of assessment
offences will be investigated by the Academic Conduct Officer. Any attempt to gain unfair advantage in
any assessment will be penalized. All students need to sign a declaration stating that they will not
plagiarise on the cover sheet for coursework assessment and for open book examinations.

The above terms may be defined as follows:

Plagiarism: the representation of another person's work as the student's own work, whether
intentionally or not, either by extensive unacknowledged quotation or paraphrasing or by direct copying
of another person's work. E.g. includes importing into the student’s work phrases from another person’s
work without using quotation marks and identifying the source or the use of ideas of another person
without acknowledgement of the source, or the presentation of work as the student own which
substantially comprises the ideas of another person. Please note that making extensive use of another
person’s work, even if referenced, means the work may be considered overly derivative and the work will
be marked down as appropriate. Student should demonstrate his or her understanding only by using
own words.

INTI-UH uses the Harvard system of referencing, whereby a copy of the Academic Skills Unit Harvard
Referencing Guide can be downloaded at StudyNET portal or from the Lee Fah Onn Library at IICS.

Cheating: attempting to gain unfair, improper or dishonest advantage in the assessment process,
typically in an examination or other assessments (e.g. class test). This includes taking into an
examination room of unauthorized information stored on a calculator, mobile phone, personal organizer,
or MP3 player, and the copying of the work of another candidate. Please note that only stationery stated
by the college is permitted.

Collusion: the representation by a student of work that s/he has undertaken jointly with one or more
other person(s) as being his or her own work undertaken independently of the other person(s). Please
note that structuring, sharing notes or actually writing up an answer using the same words as another
student will amount to collusion. It is obviously very unwise to make own individual coursework
available to any other student.

Where it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that a student has sought to gain an unfair advantage in
one examination/assessment, the normal minimum penalty would be a ruling that the result of the
examination/assessment should be declared null and void. If this extends to more than one
examination/assessment, the normal minimum penalty will be for all results in that stage assessment are
declared null and avoid.

A note of all plagiarism offences will appear on the student's record at the University and on student’s
transcripts as ‘AD’ or ‘ACADEMIC DISHONESTY’. The recommended penalties for academic dishonesty
are set out in the UPRSA13 (UH University Policies and Regulations).

Late Submission

Assignment deadlines must be strictly adhered to as time management is a highly valued professional
skill. Assignments which are submitted late will be penalised as follows:

Up to one week late: Marks capped at 40/100.

Over one week late: ZERO (0) marks.

For the purpose of assignment submission, Saturday and Sunday are also counted as working days.
