Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion

Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means
acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and
ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.

Plagiarism:
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them
and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This
includes material sourced from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published
and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being
used, which includes:
• Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
• Copying work either in whole or in part
• Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
• Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the
author or web page
• Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.

Collusion:
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical)
with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the
work of someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the
RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or
overseas.

Page | 5
CRICOS Code: 03595K | RTO Provider ID: 70252
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other
students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion
and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic
integrity, plagiarism and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against
students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.
Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file
and could lead to disciplinary action.

Feedback to student
Feedback on students’ assessment performance is a vital element in their learning. Its
purpose is to justify to students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify
and reward specific qualities in their work, to recommend aspects needing improvement,
and to guide students on what steps to take.

Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor thinks is important for a topic or a
subject. At its best, feedback should:
• Be provided for each Unit Assessment Task (UAT)
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust teaching to accommodate students’
learning needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own
critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning

If students have not received proper feedback, they must speak to compliance and quality
assurance department/administration department in the RTO/person responsible for
looking after the quality and compliance services of the RTO.

In this assessment task, you are required to develop workplace sustainability policy for the
organisation given in the scenario.
Scenario:
Green Building and Construction Pty. Ltd is a well-known construction company in your
state. The company is known for its quality and sustainable construction. The main issues
that the company is facing is inappropriate usage of resources such as water, energy and
construction material that is increasing the cost of construction of the projects. The
company wants to take one step further into their progress and move to modular
construction so that the company can minimise the resource usage. Along with the
economic benefits, modular building processes will reduce the environmental impact of
construction by generating less waste, causing less site disturbance and reusing and
recycling more materials.
The company also wants to reduce the energy consumption, become more energy efficient
and use renewable energy and 'alternative technology. The company is lot more specific
about:

 Going back to the design process and create more energy efficient designs,
considering the energy required for humans to use buildings.
 Seek to make existing buildings more energy efficient.
 Use local materials/workforce/energy to reduce transport.
 Use more low energy/ energy saving materials.
 Recycle more in order to save the energy used to transport and dispose of waste,
and to save the energy of manufacturing new materials.
 Consider how to use renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, bio fuels,
etc).
 Physically orientate buildings to maximise their capacity to exploit renewable energy
The company wants the sustainability officer to develop sustainability policy. Before starting
the development of the policy, the company wants the environment sustainability officer to
re-think the company operations in the following four key areas:
Energy:
Reducing energy consumption, being more energy efficient and using renewable energy and
'alternative technology'.
Materials:
Choosing, using, re-using and recycling materials during design, manufacture, construction
and maintenance to reduce resource requirements.
Waste:
Producing less waste and recycling more.
Pollution:
Producing less toxicity, water, noise and spatial pollution

Page | 38
CRICOS Code: 03595K | RTO Provider ID: 70252
Water
Reduce water consumption
The company also wants sustainability officer to address sustainability initiatives through
reference to standards, guidelines and approaches, such as:

 Federal government standards, including five-star rating for all new homes
 Energy efficiency opportunities bill
 Green purchasing programs to purchase sustainable products

Part 1:
When developing the policy, you must ensure that:

 The policy complies with legislative requirements, and contain an implementation


strategy that has been devised, implemented and reviewed showing a measurable
improvement using chosen benchmark indicators.

 Relevant laws, standards and guidelines for construction industry


 Initiatives taken by government.
PT 1.2. Consult with stakeholders who have an interest in the organisation’s conduct,
actions, products and services. Summarise the information gathered that will be used to
support the policy development process. (Your fellow learners and trainer will represent
stakeholders).
PT 1.3. Draft a policy that reflects the organisation’s commitment to sustainability. Ensure
your policy includes:
 Appropriate strategies for minimising resource use, reducing toxic material and
hazardous chemical use, and employing life cycle management approaches
 Recommendations for policy options based on likely effectiveness, timeframes and
cost.
 Links with business planning process
 Explanation of relevant business opportunities linked with sustainability practices.
 Appropriate methods of implementation of sustainability policy.
