The University views plagiarism and collusion as serious academic


irregularities and there are a number of different penalties which may be
applied to such offences. The Student Handbook has a section on Academic
Irregularities, which outlines the penalties and states that plagiarism includes:

“The incorporation of material (including text, graph, diagrams, videos etc.)


derived from the work (published or unpublished) of another, by
unacknowledged quotation, paraphrased imitation or other device in any work
submitted for progression towards or for the completion of an award, which in
any way suggests that it is the student's own original work. Such work may
include printed material in textbooks, journals and material accessible
electronically for example from web pages.”

Whereas collusion includes:

“Unauthorised and unacknowledged copying or use of material prepared by


another person for use in submitted work. This may be with or without their
consent or agreement to the copying or use of their work.”

If copied with the agreement of the other candidate both parties are considered
guilty of Academic Irregularity.
Penalties for Academic irregularities range from capped marks and zero marks to
dismissal from the course and termination of studies.

To ensure that you are not accused of plagiarism, look at the sections on
Plagiarism Support and Turnitin support.

I. Assessment Requirements

This assignment allows you to build your knowledge and critical evaluation of processes
and procedures used in computer forensics. To pass the coursework you must
demonstrate your understanding of the whole Computer Forensics process.

Assessment Scenario/Problem

The date is 1 July 2004. You have been called in by an organisation that suspects one of
its staff members is breaking organisational policy. Photographs of the scene can be
found below.

The staff member has joined a strange religious group that considers geometric shapes
to be very important. The staff member was warned in May 2004 against using
organisational resources to create, store, search the Web for or disseminate pictures of
such shapes.

You then decide to analyse a USB stick that was found. A file in this directory (ending
in .dd) contains a forensic image which (for the purposes of this scenario) was taken
from the USB stick. You will need to analyse that image.

Download the file and analyse it as much as you wish. Then answer the questions in the
online assessment. Some are multiple choice; some are multiple choice with more than
one correct answer; a couple require you to type in a number.

This assessment is designed to test your knowledge of correct procedures. There will be
questions addressing all stages of a forensic investigation.

The assessment will be available online on 9 December 2022. Once you start the
assessment, you will have 4 hours to complete it. All questions carry equal marks.
V. Moderation

The Moderation Process


All assessments will be marked automatically. The assessments and grades
awarded are considered by an independent 3rd person to check for consistency
and fairness across the cohort for the piece of work submitted and to ensure that
feedback is fair and appropriate. All courseworks and feedback are made available
to the External Examiner prior to the Exams Board.

VI. Aspects for Professional Development

Employability skills: develop an understanding of cyber related issues and organisational


processes and procedures.

Digital skills: formulate a detailed technical report using WP software.

Transferable skills: ability to develop ideas related to a specified problem to aid an


organisation.
