The Academic Integrity is the demonstration and the commitment of the honest and the
moral behaviour academic setting (Bretag., 2018). This kin of the Academic Integrity is most
relevant to the level of university as it related to the providing the credits and the other people
when using the ideas. In the simple definition it needs the acknowledgement the contribution of
the people. Failure to produce the such acknowledgement can lead the student;s toward the
Plagiarism which is also the part of the academic integrity.
There are some penalties that student;s have to face if the do not do their assignment with
the Academic Integrity, and they get the plagiarism in their report or the assignment. One of
them is affect on their final grade. On the higher level of the eduction studentship's get the marks
for their report writing and if they get the Plagiarism then their marks will be law and if they are
fount any other Academic misconstruction then they can also get the replenishment, and they
can also be get failed in the examination so it is necessary for the student;'s to work with the
Academic Integrity and with the honesty, so they can get the better masker, and they follow the
rules of writing the academic assignment or report.
Importance of Academic Integrity in the higher eduction
Higher eduction is the critic place where student's get educate, and they learn various
things and one of the them is Academic Integrity,. It is necessary for the le teachers at the higher
eduction teach their students the importance of the Academic Integrity and what they can weir a

effective academic writing report and the amassment with the honesty, and they can be more
effective in their work and get the better marks in the higher level of the students and create good
image at the university level (Ellis and et.al., 2020).
Having academic integrity is essential for some reasons for the higher eduction and some
of them here- . First, having academic integrity means that else can belongs to us. The people
with whom we are dealing know that they can trust on us to act honestly and to do what you say
you will do. When people know that you consider in doing the correct thing, and that your action
is consistent with that belief, they reliance you.
Additionally, trust is one of the key feature of the successful leader. These individualist
create good reputation by being genuine, fair, and trusty, for example. Individualist who are
successful in business concern understand the welfare of acting with integrity.
Secondly , the trust is one of the most important factor that can helpful for the student's
top provide the value to their degree. Employees prefer to higher graduate whom they can
believe or if they are trustworthy for their company d help them to achieve success within their
business.
Finally having the Academic Integrity is essential for ate student's at the higher level
because it can often then order of mind informed that they accept in their right things and ever
try to enactment and consistency with those beliefs. Impermanent with the Academic Integrity
can cut down the lot if unsuccessful and stress from their life, student's can be happy all the times
and the more positive in their work ((Henning and et.al., 2020).
Implication of academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct is the kind of action which attains to gain or assists others in
gaining and attempting to gain the unfair academic disadvantages. It can include the collusion,
plagiarism, Fabrication of data and contact cheating are the authorized material during the
examination. Here are some of the implications of Academic misconduct-
Loss of intellectual property
Academic misconduct like plagiarism is the equivalent tor steal the other work or the
others intellectual property that covers their idea , writing, etc. make by somebody is the
"currency" for that individualist and when another individual uses it without approval, the author
keep his or her intellectual place, recognition and accomplishable income.
Affect on final grade

Academic misconduct attempt by the student's can a affect on their final grade after the
submission, and they can also be get failed in the subject. It makes necessary for the student's to
work with the Academic integrity and avoid the Academic misconduct in their report or the
researched, and they should write in their own worlds, so they cab avoid plagiarism in their
report.
Student's self esteem
Student's who create can feel guilty, and they can also be experience from the low self-
esteem. This failure of the self-respect can track them toward the host of the other problem as
well that can include the difficulties in their future carriers and professional life and families
(Jian, Marion and Wang., 2019). Although the some of the students can also think that creating
is harmless and that have some of the Penalties that can impact on themselves, it is important that
they realize the far-reaching consequences of the Academic misconduct and the serious social
and the individual complexity it can have.
Reflection on the steps and difficulties encountered producing the game
In the designing of the game I have followed some of the steps that are necessary for
the creating the game and I with that I have also faced various issues. Here are steps that I have
been taken to design the games-
game idea
First of all I think about the game that I can introduce to the students' and also think about
how many people will able to play at the time so each and every Student's can play in the limited
time period.
Game type
Another step that I take to design the game was to think it will be what times of game like
indoor, outdoor, cardboard etc (Kaktiņš., 2018).
Questions
Another steps were to thin k about the question related to the academic integrity that
would be asked the student's because it game was related to the reining of the academic
integrity.
Rules

' Last step was to make the rules because every game has some rules that will provide clear
idea how the game will be played and what rules student's have to follow, so they can play the
game fairly and they can learn about the academic integrity effectively.
Issues faced by me
There are some issues that I have faced when I was designing the game. It coves the
issues like -
game connection with academic integrity
The first issues was to think about the game that can b connected with the academic
integrity. It was difficult to think of the games in which I can ask the question and it should be
group game so it creates more difficulty.
Creating interest
It was necessary for me to create a game that can be interesting for the student's so they
cab learn thorough the game and understand why they should follow the academic integrity. To
build game should be interesting and there should be fun so each student can take participation
and learn thorough the game (Morris., 2018).
Rules
Rules are important and setting up the rules for the games was the difficult task for me
because first h I think about how the game will be played, how many students will participate in
singles times and also think about the things that are not allowed in the game.
Creating question
This was the most difficult part for me because I have to create the questions that should
be relate to the academic integrity and other difficulty part was that I also have to decide the
difficulty of the question which means that more difficult questions will be asked with the times
to the student's.
Reflection on the skills that learned from the games production
In the designing of the games there were any skills that used and these skills enable me
designing the effective game with the learning of the academic integrity and provide proper
design of the game. With that the instruction and rules were also write by me thorough the skills,
and I was able to design and plan the game effectively thorough the skills that I have in myself.
Critical thinking skills

Critical thinking skills was important skills that helps me to design the games. I use to
the skills to think critically and out of the box, so I get the unique idea about the game, and I was
able to think the game with the academic integrity and use it to develop the game effectively for
the student, so they can learn the importance of the academic integrity (Ransome, J. and
Newton., 2018).
Design skills
the skill I used helped me to design game. I tried various types of software and
applications for game design. Then, I put some features in it and tried to make it like a game.
Besides, I tested game by playing on software and obtain outcomes. It enabled me to make
change in game design. Also, I created poster of game as well.
Research skills
I also have used the research skills for the designing and development of the new game
where I have research about the types of game that can played by the student's and this research I
used to develop the new games and also research about the rules that can e implemented by me
for the students so student t's can play the game efferently, and they can use understand that what
are the rules and regulation of the game.
presentation skills
The presentation of the new game is also important because without presenting the game
students will not bale to understand what is the h game and how they will go to play the game I
the group (Ridgley, Miron and McKenzie., 2019). I have used my personal presentation skills to
prepend the game to the student so student's can easily understand the game, and they can
effectively play the game. Presentation of the game also include the design and how the game
will be look so designing the game I take helps of the word presentation where I have paste the
image f the game that how it will be look like and it also covers the rules, question that will be
asked the student and other more important things related to rte game. I was able to present the
game effectively thorough my presentation skills and it will be helpful for the student's to
understand the game easily, and they will able to play the game effectively and all the students
will also able to take their participation.
