An explanation of why academic integrity at University is so important
Academic integrity refers to the expectation which students, researches, members
and teachers have to act with honesty, trust, fairness and responsibilities. If the
academic integrity is breached it is called as academic misconduct.
It is the fundamental for learning, research and teaching as well in universities. It is
important in the universities as it allows the students and teachers the independence
to ideas and creativity as well as maintaining appropriate respect and
acknowledgement for others (Muhammad. and et.al., 2020).
Students are a part of academic community when in university, which develops and
improves new ideas. It teaches how to interpret and represent ideas of other people
and reuse them for own purpose in order to produce academic works. The most
important part of integrity is to re-use the ideas but avoiding plagiarism through
appropriately acknowledging them and rephrasing them. Plagiarism refers to taking
ideas and writings of another person and presenting them as own. It can deprivation
of learning and affects the relationships with students and their teachers.
Academic integrity is important as it is supports the representation of academic
values by behaviours like the maintenance of academic standards, rigor and honesty
in research and academic studies (Ramdani, 2018).
It is also important as it concentrates on controlling plagiarism in students. It helps
the students to develop their analytical and other academic skills. Breaching the
academic misconduct will bring negative outcomes and the students will not receive
knowledge or learning at all.
A summary of your reflection on the skills used to produce the game
In the game, I have used a number of academic skills. These skills have
helped in creating a game which is called as moral role. Academic skills such as
writing has been used to create and document the game and representing it to
others. This skill is the primary skill which is taught throughout the life of students.
Another skill which is used is Time management skill. Through the use of this skill I
have been able to create the game project within the specified time frame and before
deadlines. Writing skills has also been used to writing down the structure and design

similar topic but is unique from others. Through creativity skill I was able to bring
creativity and innovation and represent it to others. All these skills are included in
