ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY
All students are expected to know and observe the guidelines for
academic integrity stated in the NUS Code for Student Conduct. The Code
applies to all students even if they have not read it. You can access the
Code here at the Office of Student Affairs website.
A few students in ES2331 have unintentionally plagiarized when they
asked a senior student for help with an assignment. The senior students
ideas and wording were included in the submitted assignment. You should
know that copying ideas OR words from another students work is
plagiarism even if it is a small amount. The ideas need to be original and
the words need to be paraphrased in your own words. If you need help on
an assignment, you are encouraged to ask your tutor. All tutors email
addresses are available on the Module Facilitators page on Integrated
Virtual Learning Environment (IVLE). You can also ask the peer tutors at
the Writing and Communication Hub. If you wish to check for possible
plagiarism, you are encouraged to tick the box for plagiarism check when
you upload your file to the workbin.
Even if the plagiarism is unintentional, it is still a violation of the Code for
Student Conduct. Moreover, allowing someone the opportunity to
plagiarize is also a violation of the Code. You should never share your
completed work with another student. If you do share your work, you will
also be held equally responsible if your friend plagiarizes. If friends ask for
help, you can offer to help them brainstorm ideas or edit their drafts.
The penalties for plagiarism are decided on a case-by-case basis;
however, they can include an official reprimand in your student record,
failing the assignment, failing the module, or being dismissed from
university. Plagiarism is a serious matter, and it will be dealt with
accordingly.
