Section 1
An Introduction including a description of Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is defined as the moral or the ethical practices for the
concern of improving the behaviors of individuals. All the honest values in the work
are included in the academic integrity which is performed at the University. Integrity
is explained as how effectively the good manner are contributed to good academics
which helps in knowing moral and values of the individual (Sotiriadou and et.al.,
2020). Academic integrity involves the fairness to be the individuals for their learning
and scholarship. This further inculcates that it is the responsibility of the University
for conducting the fairness in work at large scale. On the contrary, it is the duty of the
students to value and follow the policies and regulations of academic integrity at
large scale by –
 Reporting the research which is conducted on fair grounds.
 Not copying the other individual’s work and making it as their own.
 The information which is collected should be properly framed and known as
from where it is collected at large scale (Morris, 2018).
 Conducting the research to be ethical on all grounds and taking the scale of
how it is being framed at large scale.
These are some of the major points of consideration which are being taken into
account and how the academic integrity is maintained. This also shows that how
academic integrity is showing its importance by the students while they are studying

in University in an appropriate manner. The University by analyzing and observing
the students' performance that how effectively they are presenting themselves
(Amigud and et.al., 2021). University helps in framing the morals, values and ethics
which helps in knowing the positive outlook towards the work is known at large scale
through which all research is performed. The academic integrity helps in knowing fair
work and values which are undertaken at large scale. Thus, academic integrity helps
in knowing and analyzing aspects of growth and development of student in the
University.
A discussion of the importance of academic integrity in higher
education
Academic integrity is very important for idealizing the work of individuals in the
university and helping them involve the process through fairness and by being
honest and valuing the learning process which enables them to abide by the rules
and laws of studying in the University. It also helps in knowing the moral and core
values of the students when they enter in the University and seek higher education.
Importance of academic integrity in higher education for students is concerned
by analyzing and evaluating the aspects of individuals gaining trust and honesty etc.
Similarly, the students are concerned with the aspect of having and encouraging the
aspects of how positively the basis of growth is concerning them for the class
environment to be positive and highly advanced which helps them in contributing to
their studies (Cojocariu and et.al., 2022). It helps in knowing that how the fairness
and values are maintained while studying in the University. Students are the major
part of academic integrity at place which helps in knowing the aspects as to how
effectively they are able to learn and study in the University. Therefore, academic
integrity helps the students in knowing and analyzing the aspects of growth and
development at large scale.
Importance of academic integrity in higher education for University is
mentioned as – This helps in knowing and evaluating the growth and development
of the students at large scale and helps in knowing that University in helpful in
creating value for students so that they are able to learn many new things and
educate themselves inappropriate manner (Jereb and et.al., 2018). High academic
standards are drawn for ensuring the scales as to how the changes are observed

within the University for students in appropriate manner. The main aim of the
academic integrity is that in higher education all aspects are being analyzed for
higher education. This helps in framing the norms and rules for academic integrity
within University by maintaining the morals and values of the students in an effective
manner significantly.
Discuss the implications of academic misconduct
Academic misconduct is the cheating which happens in the framing of work
which is conducted in the University. If there is any type of misconduct which
happens in the University then they are responsible for taking the actions. The
matters are dealt with punishments and penalties if there is any type of misconduct
which happens in the University. Academic misconduct includes collision, fabrication
of data, plagiarism, duplication, bribery (Parnther, 2020). These are some major
types of academic misconduct which happens within the University.
Various types of implications of academic misconduct which are defined and
described at large scale and this helps in knowing the reason behind academic
misconduct. The academic misconduct can be due to the reason of purchasing of
online sources through which the researches can be completed appropriately. There
is lack of knowledge about plagiarism in the work which is being conducted (Mohan,
2019). Encouragement is provided to the students when they do not take concern of
work and then copy from the other student which brings plagiarism. There are
various consequences which happen due to academic misconduct and this initiates
the aspect of how the major and minor consequences which are being taken care of.
There are some minor and serious consequences of academic misconduct which
brings serious offense to the University and makes the work difficult both for the
student and the university. This can be avoided by rectifying by writing the notes by
copying from anywhere which creates the problems and issues of losing the morality
by the students’ at large scale.
These are the major implications of academic misconduct which happens and
this is created in knowing the aspect as to how the academic misconduct can be
stopped in the Universities at large scale. It is very necessary that the academic
misconduct is being known in the University so that corrective actions can be taken.

And this helps in knowing that what are the major changes and modifications which
are needed within the system.
Section 2
Reflect on the steps you have taken, and difficulties encountered in
producing the game for Project 2
The name of the game is Plagiarism Identifier which helps in known he plagiarism in
the activities and work conducted by students. This helps in understanding that the
students are failing for the problem of grammatical errors and plagiarism. This helps
in ensuring that with the help of this game, there will be no academic misconduct.
The steps taken in producing the game are -
 In orders to play the game, participants should log in to the account with the
user ID and passwords so that the data security and authenticity is not lost.
 One option among six is required by the participants to select (de Paula and
et.al., 2018).
 There are three segments which are mentioned as plagiarism segment,
academic misconduct segment and academic integrity segment. More than 50
points are to be attained for participants to take part.
 This game helps in avoiding the misconduct and plagiarism activities which
are taken place.
 There are some major rules which are – that the students cannot quit the
game without incurring any feedbacks to improve their performance. And if
the students quit then they will not be permitted to submit the assignment
which they have done (Roozenbeek and et.al., 2020).
 There are some questions which are related to the game and modifies each
time when the students login to their ID on portal.
There are some questions of the game which are described as – Using the work of
other and misinterpreting the research is being taken in work. Information regarded
as common knowledge in the work of author.
Various problems were encountered by me in producing the game which
helped in creating value for analyzing and creating value for the aspects of growth
and development which are needed by the students (Politowski and et.al., 2021).

There were major problems which were encountered in producing the game which
helped in knowing that the framework of game was very confusing which made
difficulties in understanding the aspects of game and how to proceed with it further.
Therefore, this was the major problem which I faced in producing the game and this
got me confusing in knowing the exact rules and process of playing the game. The
main reason for this game is that was also very typically framed in manner which
created confusions at large scale.
Reflect on the skills you have learned this academic year and those
emphasized in producing your game
Various types of skills which have been learned this academic year are described as
below –
 Team Work is the main skill learned in this academic year which helped in
working collaboratively with other individuals. With the help of team work all
effectiveness and purpose of producing the game was known (Kendellen and
et.al., 2019).
 Communication is another effective skill which helped in communicating and
making conversations regarding the game which was produced effectively
and in significant manner for the academic year.
 Leadership Skills is also very important skill which is being analyzed and
identified for knowing the perspectives of how effectively the initiatives can be
taken as a leader in producing the game (Margolius and et.al., 2020).
 Creativity is the most important skill learned while working with other
individuals. This skill helped in creating game to be more attractive and
engaging for the students so that the individuals are able to learn something
new and think of great ideas to be introduced in the game.
 Time Management was the effective skill which I learned in the game as well
as in academics. This helped in creating the deadlines of the game when to
be produced at large scale as this helps in knowing the aspects of growth and
development in the academics too.
 Research Skills were learned as how effectively and in appropriate manner
all the essential information is to be collected and with the help of this all

major concerns of how the changes are taking place are known at large scale
(Sousa, 2018).
 Being honest also helped in analyzing and reviewing the other teas
communication process which initiated the aspect of growth and development
at large scale. The honesty skill was being idealized and evaluated at large
scale which helped in knowing the aspects of growth and development and
created value for the work which was being undertaken.
 Presentation Skills are the skills which help in knowing the measures as to
how the presentations are framed and scaled up in the learning process of
studying in the academic year which helps in engaging the value through
which presentations are prepared (Gunderson and et.al., 2019).
Apart from this, there are also other skills which helped in producing
the game and learning the skills as to what are the changes which were
