BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
In the view of Bretag (2019), every student is
required to follow rules and regulations of University. The rules state
that they need to work in ethical and fair manner to do assignment.
This is because it helps them in their own career and growth. Along
with it, showing trust and remaining honest towards University helps
them to become a successful person. The academic integrity refer to
working in ethical way. With this they are able to gain knowledge as
well. Furthermore, this helps student in their daily life. Their
creativity increases and they achieve more career growth in future. It
also builds a good reputation of student in real life. They get more
engaged in studies and working in fair way. This is helpful for their
career growth as well.
But on contrary Chugh, Luck and Pember (2021), if
academic integrity is not followed then it led to impact on their
career in negative way. Student does not work in fair way and ethical
manner. Moreover, due to misconduct they might get suspended or
terminate from college or University. Hence, it impact on their career
growth in negative way. The university might impose huge penalty
on them and they might be not able to pay. Thus, their knowledge is
hampered as well as they did not work in fair way. So, due to it their
time and money is wasted and they have to do same work again.
However, as said by Douglas and Watt (2019),
plagiarism is also misconduct as there is copy of text or work from
other sources. This shows unethical work being done and in unfair
way. The student is not able to gain proper knowledge and it affect on
their career growth in negative way. Therefore, it is important to
avoid plagiarism as well to do work in fair way. There is required to
do referencing in work so that is shows that work in authentic and not
copied. It also comes under academic integrity. So, these play vital
role in student career in professional and personal way.
