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attributing the published or unpublished works of others.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.
Accepted Similarity Index
•
The College uses an online Assessment Tool called Turnitin. Students are required
to self-submit their own assignment on Turnitin and will be given access to the
Originality Reports arising from each submission.
•
The accepted similarity percentage for an assessment is about 10%. However, the
case may still be reported for investigation if the similarity percentage is below 10%
subject to the Module Tutor’s academic judgment.
•
Similarity percentages above 10 % will be reported to the Unfair Means to Enhance
Performance
Committee
subject
to
the
discussion
with
the
Module
Tutor/justification from the Module Tutor. The case may or may not be formally
investigated.
Penalties of Academic Misconduct
All instances or allegations of the use of unfair means within summative assessment will
be investigated in line with the college UMEP policy. If an allegation is found to be proven,
then the appropriate penalty will be implemented:
•
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%).
•
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 being able to
retake the module in a subsequent year.
Marking Criteria
*The course work will be assessed and graded based on the marking criteria given
below
LEVEL SIX
FIRST
(80-100%)
FIRST
(70-79%)
UPPER SECOND
(60-69%)
Written work is directly relevant to the title. Knowledge and
understanding is comprehensive in both breadth and
depth. Student demonstrates an exceptional ability to
contextualise, to critically appreciate concepts and their
inter-relationship, and/or to relate theory with evidence.
Exceptional ability to apply, in the right measure, the skills
necessary to achieve a desired outcome. Evidence of very
extensive, if not exhaustive reading and study beyond the
course content. Clear evidence of independent thought.
The presentation is highly sophisticated, fluent and
accurate and in an appropriate format. The material is
presented in a focused way, so as to help sustain the
argument. Citation and referencing are impeccable. The
work may be as good, if not better, than you imagine a
professional tutor could write, and is possibly of
publishable quality.

Outstanding ability to apply, in the right measure, the skills

Written work is directly relevant to the title. The knowledgebase is up-to-date and relevant, but may also be broad or
deep. Work reflects a thorough grasp of concepts and of
the inter-relationship, and a significant ability to relate
theory to practice. The presentation is very good and in an
appropriate format, the material generally well focused,
reflecting a high degree of literacy. Arguments may

sometimes be outstanding and reflective of genuine
independent thought, but are not always consistently at
that level. Material is very well presented and citation and
referencing are very good.
LOWER SECOND
(50-59%)
THIRD
(40-49%)
COMPENSATABLE
FAIL
(35-39%)
Written work is directly relevant to the title. Arguments may
be generally relevant but not necessarily comprehensive.
The student displays an awareness of what concepts are,
but the ability to conceptualise, and/or to relate theory to
evidence, is clearly limited. Frequent use of assertion
rather than argument. Grammar and spelling sound, but
perhaps with occasional lapses. Material is well presented
and in an appropriate format. Citation and referencing are
generally good but may contain some errors.
Written work is predominantly relevant to the title.
Knowledge is adequate but limited and/or superficial, with
a tendency to inaccuracy. Limited awareness of concepts.
Limited ability to contextualise, and to relate theory to
evidence. Frequently, evidence (which may be accurate) is
deployed superficially with lack of focus. Almost always
offers description/assertion rather than argument.
Grammar may be poor, or the linkage between paragraphs
may be weak. Competent presentation and an acceptable
format, although deficiencies are clearly evident. Citation
and referencing are present but may contain quite a few
errors.
At least 45% of material presented is relevant but there
may be limited reference to the question. A generally poor
but compensatable answer with extensive errors and
omissions, or a substantial answer on the general topic in
which the specific, central question is misinterpreted or
avoided, or a very good essay in note form. Presentation
is poor and sometimes inarticulate. Little evidence of
appropriate reading but citation and referencing must be
present, although there may be a substantial number of
errors. (Note – absence of citation and referencing at Level
3 must be regarded as a clear failure and must be awarded
