Introduction
Academic integrity is nothing but the kind of determination that is involved in bringing
about the academic settings. There are certain incidents as well as the entities that will
fall as a part of academic schedule and completing them within the stipulated time along
with the prominent actions that will determine the standards of an academic schedule is
known to be the academic integration (MacLeod and Eaton, 2020). There are certain
contributions that will fall in regard to acknowledging the causes as well as the certainties
of bringing about the prosperous results that will orient activities. Every criteria and
component that is in regard to these challenges will fall under academic integrity. The
report usually deals with every factor that will bring about the discussion of academic
integrity along with its impact over education.
Section 1
An Introduction including a description of Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is the one that will bring in lot more opportunities on a consistent
basis. There are certain believes that will fall in regard to the academic schedule
upon moving ahead with the criteria of maintaining the factors that will fall as a
necessity. There are certain rights that will fall in regard to this which include
plagiarism that is copying other people's content without proper consent (Sotiriadou
and er.al, 2020). This is regarded to be one of the careless act that is usually
performed by people without any integration which will come under the rights of
academic integrity. There are certain ethics that will determine the standard of an
academic integrity and these ethical standards play a major role in determining the
standard of all the regulations that are a part of universities integration policies.
There are also certain rights that are to be followed and actions will be taken when
the violation of these rights is inhibited. All these comes under the academic integrity
and there is a greater importance for this particular aspect which is prevailing
because in order to maintain an organisational entity of the standards it is a major
necessity that the academic integrity will have to be looked after.

A discussion of the importance of academic integrity in higher
education
Education is regarded to be one of the prospect where there are certain formulations
that will have to be inhibited. The academic integration will bring about all the kinds
of impact that will bring about a positive atmosphere to any field that is being
employed upon (Ellis and et.al, 2020). In education and particularly the higher
education sector is composed of various challenges and academic integrity in this
prospects will bring about all the positivity that is a part of the research which is
oriented with educational purposes. In higher education there will be corruption
which is pertaining. Due to academic integrity that is being implied on to the higher
education and criteria that is being employed it is one of the important factor to
eradicate corruption and to minimise the reason that will lead to corruption. This
corruption can sometimes be the one that is oriented with the copying of materials
that are necessary for people to get through the subjects as well the analysis. There
will be many uncertainties that prevail in education sector and that with higher
education is regarded to be one of the formulation that will bring about a conflict of
interest. There are certain examples where the members of the education might
commit uncertain analysis due to pollution and conflict of interest also along with
favoritism. This will potentially ruin the life of those who are in to bring about a good
education facility. There are certain fraud aspects that will take place intentionally
and this can be accounted upon the academic integrity (Stoesz and Eaton, 2020). It
is a necessity to protect the interests of a student with regard to education facilities
because the unethical behaviour will act as a barrier for the student in order to inhibit
the policies of education. Academic integrity in this project will identify the choices
that are being inculcated by the organisation and will act as a protective shield that
can bring about a good orientation with some of the highlights that are in regard to
the higher education.
Discuss the implications of academic misconduct
The implication that will fall in regard to academic misconduct will include those of
cheating plagiarism and other forms of induction that are oriented by students as well
as those that are dealing with the organisation. There is an accountability that is
being portrayed by the academic integrity and that when it comes to the academic

misconduct will play a magical role in identifying the choices of misconduct. The
academic misconduct is an unfair scenario that will bring about various atrocities to a
person or organisation that is dealing with people (Morris, 2018). The implications of
academic misconduct will usually revolve around other terminating an individual for
the kind of misconduct that is being taken place and they will be kept away from all
the benefits of the organisation. When it comes to education the academic
misconduct is said to be one of the serious threat to the students that are
incorporating in the organisation because this might result in termination from the
organisation and that can also further affect their well-being. One of the major
implication is that they will be prohibited from dealing with other people property that
is one of the provision that is gratified from the implications of misconduct. Academic
misconduct is not just a small thing to be evaluated upon a finest factor but it is a
serious threat that can be leading and individual towards suspension or expulsion
from the organisation that they are working or pursuing education (Tatum and
Schwartz, 2017). Dishonesty is not at all encouraged in academic integrity and that
will eventually turned to be academic misconduct. Another is collaboration is
prohibited and this is one of the implication which can fall in regard to academic
misconduct.
Section 2
Reflect on the steps you have taken, and difficulties encountered in
producing the game for Project 2
Steps that are included in designing a game or moving ahead with the probability of
game is a proper planning. I have effectively brought about the business plan that is
in regard to designing the gaming prospects and that has resulted into the
development phase. Also particularly the factors that are followed in analysing the
team and its benefits is also gratified and that is one of the challenging aspects for
the design of a game. Being a project the decision making criteria is one of the
important formulation and that has inhibited all the standards which are necessary
for the game to be incorporated (Raje and Stitzel, 2020). Considering the project to
be one of the crucial aspect brainstorming session was conducted where there are a
lot of ideas that was generated and the best ones are picked from the lot more ideas

that were gathered. This is rather an important task where the team could get
surprise ideas and the best will win the game. Research regarding the materials as
well as the kind of knowledge that has to be in incorporated in the design process is
also inculcated. This has been one of the important phase where the right amount of
knowledge that is gathered from the primary sources are being gratified. One may
not be able to identify the standards after which they can gain knowledge unless and
until the different sources of information for all evaluated. In this prospect while
considering the project of a game all the evaluations are made upon how far the
formulations will work upon inhibiting the choices and making the game and
accessible one. Also there are certain implications that fail in regard while dealing
with the project and there are also certain difficulties that made the project go in a
wrong turn meanwhile. It is a fact that the industry in which the gaming sector is
probably oriented is facing problem with regard to the production. The management
problems will win over the entire entity of the game and that might act as a barrier for
the once to move ahead. This has been one of the problem with regard to
management where as the characteristics are and other difficulty that made it struck
at a point where it is almost ready to be inhibited (Gottardello and Karabag, 2020).
The completion of the project although is a success yet there are certain atrocities
that fall and the project management and those were analysed and evaluated
properly. At times we feel the urge of lack of planning and that has again step the
head with the rapid pace and that contributed to clearly define our goal to bring about
came into existence and finally it has happened. Communication was maintained at
all levels of for defining the project and also moving ahead with all the kind of
strategies that are to be oriented in the gaming profit. This also brings about the
expert decisions that are in regard to the project management and therefore we have
evaluated every choice such that the game can be worthwhile.
Reflect on the skills you have learned this academic year and those
emphasized in producing your game
While dealing with the project there are many things that are oriented in such a way
that every skill has been learnt and far point in the better possible manner. A
reflection towards the skills that are oriented in this particular gaming project are as
follows:

Technical skills: the technical skills that are in regard to bring about the game into
existence are sharpened at a rapid pace and I have learnt every formulation and the
strategic orientation that will have to be involved in the game (Harris and et.al, 2020).
Technical knowledge with respect to the subject oriented criteria is brought about by
different presentations that are a part of gaming strategy. This has made me analyse
the fact that the importance of every project lies in how far the formulations are to be
evaluated.
Communication skills: it is not until when proper communication channel is
maintained while dealing with the project that we get to incorporate the ideas that are
introduced to the project. I have learnt that communication skills are important in
order to bring about a result that is oriented with the initiation of project.
Communication skills will also solve all the queries that are in regard to project and
will maintain a transparency that is necessary for people to imbibe.
Computer programming: in order to bring about a life to the game computer
programming is one of the major necessity and the scale has been sharpened with
regard to the project that is oriented with the game. I have learnt major programming
skills while dealing with the project and that has brought about direct involvement of
every programming that I have learnt (Brown and et.al, 2018).
Teamwork: teamwork is important in order to move ahead with the circumstances
that will fall in regard to completion of project. Teamwork is necessary in order to
discuss the ideas as well as the ideologies that are in regard to dealing with the
project. A project can never be completed without a proper teamwork and the
essence of every team work can be fortified for the results are attend.
Conclusion
The entire report concludes upon highlighting the aspect of academic integrity.
Through this report content easily understand the formulations that are in regard to
academic integrity and certain incidents at a corresponding. The report starts in
explaining a descriptive approach towards academic integrity and how far the
persons detrimental factors are being identified as a part of academic integrity. A
discussion over the importance of academic integrity in higher education is fortified in
this report. This will bring about a clear knowledge over the conflict of interest as well
as if favoritism that are a part of academic misconduct. There are certain implications

that have been portrait in this report as implications of academic misconduct that will
help to analyse different phases that are in this regard. A reflection over different
steps that have been encountered while designing the game for project is being
included in the report. Reflection over the skills that have been attend as a part of
academic year schedule and emphasizing upon the game are being portrayed in this
report.
