academic manner. Academies follow the actions of academic misconduct effectively and
completely as well and make sure that they compact academic task with effective and

efficient way. Generally, it is termed as activities that offers honorary and partial educational
benefits to scholars over other. As there are several actions that involves in academic
misconduct like plagiarism, falsity of information, contract of cheating and salutation of
unofficial methods to pass the exams and to gain unfair benefits (Dawson, 2021). As there
are sort of academic misconduct that are as follows -

determination is misinterpreted with the aim of impacting investigation figures.
Causes – As there are several reasons for presenting the action of academic
misbehavior. By utilizing online base to cheat the report is also in misbehavior. For colleges,
it comes essential to engage several distinct theoretical strategies in the procedure of
supporting principled behavior in university grounds. Lack of information about rules that are
linked with academic misbehavior and plagiarism. Lack of interval for executing the report is
a fundamental reason of double-dealing.
As there are several divisions of academic misbehavior like Universities forced penalization
on the scholars if they are engaged in it. As penalties of the academic misbehavior that are as
follows - Loss of intellectual property - Academic misbehavior such as plagiarism is linked
with copying of another person's information (Koterwas, Dwojak-Matras, and
Kalinowska, 2021). Original information is the intellectual property that have an
effective and efficient manner. Legal concerns – It involves sort of exterior promoter scholarships schemes for
providing the opportunities for performing work on actual life issues. If scholars
conduct the activities of double-dealing, false information and plagiarism then
committee have right to take lawful actions in contradiction of Universities. It will
have negative impact on the goodwill of the University and for scholars too.
 Inaccurate assessment - If scholar are include in misbehavior like double-dealing or
plagiarism than teacher will not be capable to evaluate the scholar's presentation,
capabilities and abilities.

As there are negligible and serious misconduct that are applied on the scholars who
include in the action of misbehavior like decrements in their marks in the assignment.
To neglect such academic misconduct students then they must determine efficient
academic examples and make sure them they work suitably. They make summaries in their
own terms, collect data from suitable places and the list of sources.
Section 2
Reflect on the steps you have taken, and difficulties encountered in
producing the game for PROJECT 2
In the procedure of creating the game there several stages that are consider by me in
that diverse sort of problems that are enlisted. In universities, as a share of personal growth
the work was allotted to us at the time of producing the game. The game project is linked to
decrease the academic misbehavior, neglecting plagiarism and other misconduct. Such work
was allotted in team for scholars that involves me. In starting the procedure of game
planning, I had faced several problems like functioning with others. As there are several
sections that are taken to design the game like as in initial level meeting was planned to
follows suitable thoughts (Oleksiyenko, 2021). In lack of suitable structure of game design
several issues are faced that will have an impact on the global effectiveness of the game.
Lack of coordination between all staff faculty is an essential factor that will have an impact
on the overall assignment. I felt that there is lack of technical terms with us at the time of
creation of game. On the other side, we have not offered sufficient techniques to the students
that restrict their innovation.

misconduct and unfair behavior of actions. Hence, it follows fundamental issues in terms of
us to make the queries or arrangement of the game that are capable to decrease the academic
misbehavior and unfair actions, hence it is the fundamental problematic terms for us. To
involve such factor in our game, I have lead grade level that takes an effective time. We have
not engaged the outsider play challenging as the share of the game (Puerta, and Ramírez-
Hassan, 2021). We are not utilizing up-graded documentation for creating game for
academic misconduct that develop several issues in the game. Sort of choices that are
consider for the game that are not correct in particular way and there is no organized time

scheduling that are definite for playing the game that develop problems and have an impact
on global effectiveness of the game.

have learned several abilities and skills that enhance my global attribute. Such abilities
facilitates me to accommodate defined targets and aims in an effective way. Some abilities

increase management quality in my life. At the time of completing my report, I have
guided and led another staff faculty to present in suitable way (Seadle, 2021). As

that allows me to know the issues and react as per to it. By this, it will improve my
knowledge and the topic that I have lead others to complete my work with creativity
and innovative nature. Time management - The report of game designing to improve the abilities of time
management due to which they to submit the report before deadline. To complete the
task on time I have divided my task between all candidates and allot them
responsibilities as well. Such abilities will supports me to complete report on time
with effectiveness and responsibilities. Such abilities will support me to complete
report on time with an effective manner. Presentation and research skill - In the process of creating the game for academic
misbehavior, I have educated how to perform effects in more suitable way to develop
it influencing and stimulating for others. As I am presentable to maintain the game by
preparing section to increase the abilities (Valkenburg, and et.al., 2021). I have
conducted deep analysis to gain suitable data that are related to report at the time of
creating the game. Such abilities will support me to gain deep analysis about
academic subjects.
 Communication skills - Communication is the fundamental abilities that are created
in my life at the time of producing game. It supports me to know several point of
manner of other and convince others with their own stand point in an effective and
