BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
An explanation of why academic
integrity at University is so important
The importance of integrity is that it help student to
learn something and do not present work which is
done by other student. The university have to make
some policies, rules and regulation and when
assigning them project also tell them what are the
rules they have to follow and if it is not followed by
student then they will be penalised for the work
which is done by student. The integrity means the
person do what is right but this is done when no one
is watching to that person or student. The main
reason why academic integrity is important is that
the student who are following all things this means
they are honest as this also help people to increase
their skills such as their leadership skills. The
academic integrity help student for their future
development because many employers are only
focusing on professional and ethical skills.
