Plagiarism means to take another person's ideas and/or manner of expressing them and to pretend they are your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgment. This includes material sourced from the internet, staff, other students, and from published and unpublished works.

Collusion

Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other people. Collusion may be with another Monash student or with people external to the University. This applies to work assessed by Monash or another university.

Cheating

Cheating means to seek to obtain an unfair advantage in an examination or written, oral or practical work, required to be submitted or completed for assessment in a course or unit of study and includes the resubmission of work that has already been assessed in another unit.

Contract cheating

Contract cheating is when you get someone else to do your assessment for you. This includes submitting work that you have asked or paid someone else to do, or having another person take a quiz or an examination for you.

Appendix A: Video transcripts

Screen 2

Video 1 transcriptSue Elliott:

Hello and welcome to Monash University's tutorials on academic integrity. This is a really important tutorial so I hope you'll engage with the material.

This will tell you how to succeed at university. If universities were a factory, they'd be producing as we do, ideas and knowledge and new understandings of old knowledge.

So it's important that you attribute that knowledge and those ideas of other people when writing your own work. We want to know what you know.

We really want to know what you think and importantly we want to know what your impact on the world will be. We want to know how you understand your place in the world.

So to do that, you need to learn some pretty basic rules about how to cite when it's other people's ideas, other people's knowledge creations and when the ideas are your own. So watch this. You'll learn a lot and it'll make a huge difference to your success at university. Good luck.

Video 2 transcriptScreen text: What is academic integrity? Some student perspectives...

Komal (studying social work):



34


To me academic integrity is about being morally and ethically right. About staying true to your values and being honest.

Emily (studying media and communications) :

We have to be honest to ourselves, and to the work we create, and to be fair to the sources we include in our work.

Screen text: How do you study with academic integrity?

Rebecca (studying environment and sustainability):

I study with academic integrity by not plagiarising or cheating off other people's work as well as making sure that I cite and reference other authors and publications if I use them within my assignments.

Philip (studying translation and interpretation):

You should not copy or ask for inappropriate help from others for your assignments and you don't provide those inappropriate help or assistance for others. Plus when in examinations, you don't copy from others and you don't offer help for others in exams.

Screen text: Why is academic integrity important?

Komal (studying social work):

I think academic integrity is important because it makes sure that if you come up with an idea that's original, people will give you credit for it if they use your idea later. And also if you're working within a group and you're allowed to collaborate, it ensures that everyone's ideas and voices are credited.

Philip (studying translation and interpretation):

When in exams and assignments, consider this. If somebody else is cheating and they get a better result than you do, you would probably feel very very disappointed. So this is very important for fairness. So that's why academic integrity is very important.



35


Screen 8

Video 1 transcriptNarrator (female):

Australia and other countries use a cultural model of knowledge creation that is based on argument. Scholars hold up an argument - drawing upon evidence and the work of previous scholars, and invite others to accept this new understanding.

At Monash, you will learn to think originally, contribute your own ideas and produce original work. It’s therefore important to clearly distinguish your work from the work of others. Acknowledging the sources that you have used in your work highlights where you have contributed your own ideas and research.

If you don’t know how to do this, your education is not complete and you may not achieve the high grades you hope for.

Video 2 transcriptNarrator (male):

Working with academic integrity will help you to succeed in your assessment tasks. Your tutors and lecturers will mark you on your ability to write in your own words, demonstrate your own ideas on the topic, correctly use evidence to support your ideas, and use the correct citing and referencing style for your discipline.

Academic integrity means that your degree accurately and genuinely represents the knowledge and skills that you have gained through study, and that you are properly prepared for your professional life.

Video 3 transcriptNarrator (female):

Practising academic integrity now will help with your career in the future. Employers value graduates who are honest and trustworthy and who show professional integrity and critical analysis in their work.



36


Knowing how to develop your own thinking and ideas - rather than copying what others before you have done - means that you will be creative and innovative, and these are attributes highly sought after in any job.

At the beginning of a 'closed book' exam, Steven placed a number of prepared notes inside his exam paper so that he could access them if particular topics that he had been struggling with were questions on the exam paper. During the exam, Steven did not need to refer to the notes as there were no questions relating to the notes. Is this a breach of Academic Integrity?

● YesFeedback: That's correct. The notes were were not authorised for use in the exam as it was a 'closed book' exam. Possession of unauthorised material in a exam, such as notes, a mobile phone, writing on body parts, are considered academic misconduct. Make sure you check with your lecturer regarding the format and requirements of the exam. Also refer to Exam rules for further information.

● NoFeedback: That's incorrect. This is considered academic misconduct. Although Steven did not refer to the notes, being in possession of the notes is an offense in itself. Make sure you check with your lecturer regarding the format and requirements of the exam. Also refer to Exam rules for further information.

Scenario 2

Amy was asked to work in a group on an analysis activity. They were asked to submit individual reports containing their own thoughts. In their individual reports, the group members submitted reports with different discussions and conclusions using the same data analysis results. Is this a breach of academic integrity?

● YesFeedback: That’s incorrect. This is not considered to be collusion. Using the same data analysis results is not collusion as they conducted the analysis together. The important thing is they produced individual discussions and came to different conclusions in their reports.

● NoFeedback: That’s correct. This is not considered to be collusion. Using the



39


same data analysis results is not collusion as they conducted the analysis together. The important thing is they produced individual discussions and came to different conclusions in their reports.

Scenario 3

Sandeep was asked to prepare a presentation. He undertook this unit last year but failed because he performed poorly in the exam. He decided that as he had received good marks in the presentation last year and the topic is similar, he will reuse the presentation and change it a little. Is this a breach of academic integrity?

● YesFeedback: That’s correct. This is considered to be cheating, which includes unauthorised resubmission of work that has already been assessed in another unit. Resubmitting your work from another unit or a unit that you are repeating is self-plagiarism, which is also a breach of academic integrity.

● NoFeedback: That’s incorrect. This is considered to be cheating, which includes unauthorised resubmission of work that has already been assessed in another unit. Resubmitting your work from another unit or a unit that you are repeating is self-plagiarism, which is also a breach of academic integrity.

Scenario 4

Miki asked her partner who is a professional graphic designer to finish her portfolio as a favour. Is this a breach of academic integrity?

● YesFeedback: That’s correct. This is actually known as contract cheating. Contract cheating is when you get someone else to do your assessment for you. This includes submitting work that you have asked or paid someone else to do, or having another person take a quiz or an examination for you.

● NoFeedback: That’s incorrect. This is known as contract cheating. Contract cheating is when you get someone else to do your assessment for you. This

includes submitting work that you have asked or paid someone else to do, or having another person take a quiz or an examination for you.

Scenario 5

Steve had an assessment task that required him to interview two people working in marketing. He left it quite late and so he ran out of time to find people to interview. He decided to make up the interview results in order to complete the assignment. Is this a breach of academic integrity?

● YesFeedback: That’s correct. This is considered to be falsification. As a Monash student, you are required to ensure that your academic work is in no way falsified.

● NoFeedback: That’s incorrect. This is considered to be falsification. As a Monash student, you are required to ensure that your academic work is in no way falsified.

Screen 9

Question:

Consider this situation: You handed in an assignment that included others’ uncited work (intentionally or unintentionally). What do you think your lecturer might do? Check the possible options below.

Correct answers:

1. check the assignment using text-matching software like Turnitin, or code-matching software such as MOSS

2. fail your assignment3. talk to you (the student)4. talk to his or her immediate supervisor5. place your name on the Academic Integrity Warnings Register.

Feedback:



41


1. Correct. This can be used to confirm whether your text is too similar to other original work.

2. This is possible. After investigating the issue, a lecturer would consider the knowledge and skill-level of the student, severity of plagiarism and whether the student has been penalised for this before, and can decide upon such a penalty.

3. Good choice. Part of an academic’s responsibility is to model, teach and uphold academic integrity in work produced by students. This presents an opportunity to teach the student about the issues identified, find out why this may have occurred, and direct the student to helpful resources.

4. Good option. Many lecturers and tutors are skilled in detecting academic dishonesty, but they still may wish to seek advice from more senior academics in some circumstances.

5. This is possible. The lecturer could place your name on the Academic Integrity Warnings Register to record that you have been warned about plagiarism or collusion (even if no formal action was taken or penalty applied) or to record that you have been penalised for breaching the University’s Student Academic Integrity Policy.
