BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
Academic integrity is the commitment and a demonstration of moral behaviour and
honesty in an academic setting that helps them to understand that how to write
assessment in academic way and how they can follow the rules to avoid the
incessant and rules within the academic writing. This is mostly refers to the
university level as it relates to providing credit the anthers if they are using any
other's idea in their assignment. In the simplest way, it refers to require acknowledge
the contribution of the people and their information they use within the writing
assignment.
Academic integrity is the fundamental of the learnings, researcher and teaching at
the university level for the students. It helps to allow students and the teacher staff
to come up with the new ideas and knowledgeable and share their ideas with the
other respecting and acknowledging the work of the others. It helps to give the
students best chances to be success at their university level by doing their task
within the assessment with the proper behaviour and honest attitude and follow the
legal rules of the academic writing. The ways students and staff member at the
University level work affects how others view within the university. It is also
necessary for the universities to be trustworthy and consistent in their standards of
the courses and assessments student get for their subjects so that students can have
a confidence in the people who graduate with their degrees, and they can follow
their career and become something in their life by learning from them.
There are some benefits from the academic integrity like it let the students make
their work see where the influences for their idea have to come from and it also
provides students a proper and accurate path that can be followed by them that how
the knowledge can be build. Credits are most important part within the academic if
students are taking the information from the internet articles because this kind of
articles are written by the authors. It makes necessary for the students to give
proper credited to the people who inspired them for the idea and give the student
an idea about their work. Their name should be mentioned which is the part of
academic integrity and must be followed by the students.

integrity at University is so important
Game Design Skills used to produce the game
Communication
Communication skills was important for me because I take help of the
people about the idea and ask them about how can I make this game more
interesting and ideas from my friends help to make the new game
successfully and whole game is related to avoiding the plagiarism and
academic misconduct.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking also help me to develop the new game because I think
differently from other and note down the different ideas that I can use in
game development. This skill helped me a lot in making the game
interesting.
Writing skills
'The writing skills was helpful for me to develop game because all the idea
that I get in my mind, I write in short form in the notebook, so I can
remember that what I have things I will add within the new game and I can
remember the idea for the long time. This is how it helped me to develop
new idea about the game.
