Academic Misconduct Definitions
• Cheating is any deliberate attempt to deceive and covers a range of offences described in the ICEM Policy on Unfair Means to Enhance Performance.
• Plagiarism describes copying from the works of another person without suitably attributing the published or unpublished works of others.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 disguising the true authorship of an assignment by copying, or imitating in close detail another student’s work - this includes with the other student’s consent and also when 2 or more students divide the elements of an assignment amongst themselves and copy one another’s answers.
• 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.
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%) 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.
FIRST
(70-79%) Written work is directly relevant to the title. Knowledge and understanding is comprehensive in both breadth and depth. Student demonstrates a clear ability to contextualise, to critically appreciate concepts and their inter-relationship, and/or to relate theory with evidence. Outstanding ability to apply, in the right measure, the skills necessary to achieve a desired outcome. Evidence of extensive 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.
UPPER SECOND
(60-69%) Written work is directly relevant to the title. The knowledge-base 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%) 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.
THIRD
(40-49%) 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.
COMPENSATABLE FAIL
(35-39%) 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 30%))..
UNCOMPENSATABLE FAIL
(30-34%) 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, 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 30%).
FAIL
(20-29%) Less than 40% of material presented is relevant. . A generally weak answer with extensive errors and omissions, or a quite substantial answer on the general topic in which the specific, central question is misinterpreted or avoided. Limited understanding demonstrated. Presentation is poor, often inarticulate and sometimes incomprehensible. Very limited evidence of background reading; citation and referencing may be absent
FAIL
(10-19%) An exceptionally poor answer with extensive errors and omissions and limited evidence of relevant knowledge, or a good essay in note form. Presentation is very poor, often inarticulate and incomprehensible. No evidence of background reading.
FAIL
(0-9%) Answer not attempted, or limited to only a few paragraphs, or of little or no relevance to the general topic of the question. Zero is reserved for failure to attempt an answer, or no, or late submission.
