TASK 1
Design of game for developing strategies to avoid the academic misconduct and plagiarism
Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct is one of the serious acts that can creates the barriers in the form of
cheating that can be seen in the relation to any formal exercise (Parnther, 2020). The misconduct
is considered as a serious offence as it provides the details about the dishonesty of any person in
relations to the formal presentation in which they are trying to take advantage by unfair academic
activities.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is considered as the default that a person has done by using the idea or work
of another person and presenting as the work that has been done by himself. The plagiarism is
considered as an offence as the information that is provided by other person is used without their
consent (Ison, 2019).
This offence is required to be reduced as it can cause the problems to the person who
contributed his time and efforts in creating the idea or work. This can be reduced by the
universities as they can impose the various types of obligations on the students who are working
on the academic activities (Kleusch, 2018). The unfair practices of using the work of some other
person and using it without their consent can reduce the academic integrity in the universities.

The universities can reduce the unfair activity by imposing penalties and giving temporary
termination to the students who have been caught using other's work (Farahian, Avarzamani, and
Rezaee, 2021).
