Academic misconduct which is an unhealthy practice in the organisation leading and

practices would create negative image within academic workplace.

Section 2
Reflect on the steps you have taken, and difficulties encountered in
producing the game for Assignment 2

At the time of producing game design I have been different level of
encountered which associated with plagiarism and academic misconduct
happen (Ha and et.al, 2021). By applying Gibbs model cycle which is
used and it is having bound to having analytical as well as to make
thinking about investing which enable towards the place with theory and
practice in cycle. In addition to this Gibbs cycle which used in
assignment as structure towards the reflection. The Gibbs reflective
cycle to consists which enhance five stages that is discussed below;
Description:
On the part of my personal planning subject where I was given task to
develop game that outlines which plays an important academic
misconduct.
Some of the steps are considered:
 In first step that is taken was meeting with team member and
exploring and overall ideas. The overall discussion was made at
the stage of final level of games which is agreed and planned
effectively.
 In second steps, is must taken when task is generate by
implement (Thornton, Ruble and Jacobson, 2021). In order to start
this, the game which was divided small portion that include
question creation, writing with rules and proper information.
Feelings:
Begining of the event:
Before starting of project on which I was excited and focused in
order to produce a game associated within academic misconduct.
Further ahead, it was satisfying watching about how authors is getting
indulged within developing ideas.
During event:

In this situation there can be chances of facing dossapointments
within team mates in perspective of their work approach not attain
positive outcomes and that makes disbalanced between academic work
practises (Magwentshu, 2021). Well, there was no help of corporation
as there was only option to be left which is been done. In addition it arise
towards new member to speak in tutor about situation.
Reaction during the experience:
As per the perspective of my side the situation is having stressful
as well as emotional where I want to all team members perform and put
their full potential. On the other hand, it is really appreciated facts that
generates performance well to put their full potential.
After the Event:
At the time of having a looked back on condition to my team where
I assumed they get discuss each other performance and work practices
to mapping out work unproductivnes.
Evaluation:
What went well:
The idea of game is unique and cover all significant aspect. Along with
this my team mates have done properly work done in strategic planning.
What did not work:
There is one of thing which does not work properly is adding with new
group of member. In addition to this, with another issues towards
technical part of game design game creation.
Analysis :
There is one issue which was arising at the time of planning of game
design is work stress or academic stress which develop barriers in team
work productivity (Yapp, de Graaff and van den Bergh, 2021). Along with
this, there was not much which could be done to neglect and
modification as per this conditions. One of best option is to support new

team member and complete the project. By the help of effective
communication and outstanding teamwork where the group was able to
complete game within given time frame an gain positive result.
Refection Conclusion
Through overall experience was good and make assists which is gaining
to attain knowledge about to generate importance of academic integrity.
In addition to this, it understand the possible which generates issues
implications arise to leading team.
Action plan:
 To focus on improvising problem solving skills.
 To be more conecerned towards choosing team member.
 To deal with the situation without taking stress and to support
person who wants to help.
 For celebrate and acknowledge things when it done collectively.
Reflect on the skills you have learned this academic year and those
emphasized in producing your game
Reflection on the skills:
There are various skills which is that to learned and gained while
conducting game plan through academic skills and practice. The skills
which I get to learned are following below:
Teamwork: At the time of going through this project, I am able to
gain knowledge about importance of team work and learn to manage
and performing work within the teams.
Critical thinking: this is major skills which require in academic
practices where innovative ideas generates to more competitive and
quality base of work must identified (Jou, Chen and Wang, 2021). In
addition of this it is important to develop which is an attractive

presentation as it help in gaining eyes of audiences to makes them
attract that understood about better view points.
Leadership skills: This skills which is used lead teams while
making develop new innovative ideas and suggestion to work on game
design rules and regulation.
Conclusion
On the basis of above Academic Skills integrity is summarised about
overall practices which is done by student effectively on which they can
get positive outcomes along with get improve their academic skills like
writing, innovation or creativity and other grammatical pronounces
effectively. Further also analysis about implication which across to not
create quality in work. By applying GIBBS model to sharing self
experience at the time of conducting academic misconduct effectively.
