Assessment criteria
The university treats academic misconduct seriously, therefore any student found using
Internet-provided possible answers may be awarded a zero mark for their assignment, or
may be suspended from the University if found purchasing assignments.
Academic research requires a student to gather their own resources about the subject
matter, to read widely about the topic in question, to analyse the information provided by
these academic resources by linking the information back to the questions being asked,
and then writing your answers in your own words. Even if you use your own words you
still need to provide the source from where you found this information, by way of an in-
text reference and listed in the Reference List at the end of your assignment.
Academic sources include journal articles, academic textbooks and business journals.
They do not include essay study sites, general webpages where the authenticity could be
questioned, or Wikipedia or similar sites.
