Academic integrity

This assignment must be your own work. It is acceptable to discuss course content with others to improve your understanding and clarify requirements, but solutions to assignment questions must be done on your own.

You must not copy from anyone, including tutors and fellow students, nor allow others to copy your work.

All Assignments will be checked using collusion monitoring tools to ensure that each assignment is the original work of the submitting student. Assignments that do not adhere to this requirement will be deemed as being the result of collusion or plagiarism. This may lead to severe academic penalties. It is your own responsibility to ensure theintegrity of your work. Refer to the USQ Policy Library for more details:

Academic Integrity Policy

The penalty for late submission is a reduction by five percent (5%) of the maximum mark applicable for the assignment, for each University Business Day or part Business Day that the assignment is late. An assignment submitted more than ten (10) University Business Days after the due date will have a mark of zero recorded for that Assignment.

Report 1

No team can exceed more than two students.

It is up to you to find a team-mate and this can usually be achieved in class or through a request on the Study Desk.

Only one team member should submit the assignment.

You must provide the student names and student numbers of both team members on the title page of the report.

Referencing requirements

References are required and the Harvard AGPS standard of referencing must be used. Ensure that your report is fully referenced, including any references to the text book. Your report should include in-text references and a List of References.

A useful link on referencing is from USQ’s Library site:

Do not repeat verbatim large slabs of information from other sources such as the text or video – you must put the ideas/information in your own words.
