Instructions:
1- You are encouraged to complete and submit the work even before the deadline if possible.
2- Do not forget to reference your work properly; otherwise, you will put yourself at the risk of
“PLAGIARISM”
3- You are advised to use different references to complete this assignment, some of which need
to be books, journals etc.
4- Choosing Wikipedia references for your assignment is forbidden and any such references
quoted in any sections would lead to deduction of marks or considered inappropriate source
referencing.
Guidelines for the Report:
1. Use preferably Microsoft Word for submitting the report. Use A-4 size paper and Times New
Roman settings, leaving 2.5 cm (or) 1’’ inch margins in all the four sides.
2. Body text should be Times New Roman font with 12 point, 1.5 spacing. Text should be
justified leaving one blank line between two paragraphs.
3. The entire report should be numbered consecutively, starting with the introduction page.
4. The number of words must be shown at the end of the work submitted before the reference
section.
5. The report should contain a title page and table of content page before starting the
introduction; however, these pages will not be counted in the total word count of the report.
6. The report should contain substantial number of references taken from wide variety of
sources and should be supported with a minimum of 6-8 references.
7. Whenever ANY words, ideas, or information from any source is used in preparing the project,
it must be supported with suitable evidence and has to be referenced. If the exact words of
an author, or if you paraphrase their words, or if you summarize their ideas, the original
reference should be provided, which otherwise would lead to plagiarism and your work could
be failed. For referencing follow the Harvard Referencing Booklet.
Continuous feedback from the tutor is provided throughout the semester, with written feedback offered
post-report submissions on Blackboard. Successful module completion requires a minimum aggregated
mark of 40% across all assessments.

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.
