Importance of Academic Honesty
Examples within our Units:
1. How do we detect Academic Dishonesty and how deal with it
One case in ‘EP003 Academic Writing’ – focus on text types, essay, report
‘Ghost writing’ – could not PROVE to the student they did not write it. Although quality

Accepted task – as one part of overall assessment
Strategies in our Units: ‘Referencing’ – focus on purpose, styles & formats
‘Referencing’ - demonstrate new skills, suitability & understanding of HE environment fulfilment of Assessment requirements
