• Academic integrity is important at university level because it is
basically fundamental to teaching, learning and research at
university. It is necessary because it offers a peace of mind that

Academic misconduct refers to any action or attempted action which results in creation of an unfair academic
advantage for oneself or members of the academic community. It is basically refers to any kind of cheating which
occurs in relation to the formal academic exercise. The university takes all reported incidences of academic
misconduct seriously and also seeks to ensure that that they are dealt in appropriate and efficient manner. The
report will cover discussion about a game for students that develop strategies for avoiding academic misconduct
and plagiarism. In addition to this the report will cover analysis about explanation related to game.
Design a game for students that develops strategies for avoiding plagiarism and academic misconduct
Academic misconduct is necessary because it ensures that the student they are achieving course meetings and
objectives, state standards as well. Students also earn credit for material in which they have mastered and
learned. For avoiding plagiarism and academic misconduct in terms of developing strategies, a game has been
designed for this purpose.
Instructions for playing the game:
•The game is designed in such a manner that where there are two teams and in each team there are five players.
•In this game, there are different coloured cards in which there are certain questions which is related to academic
misconduct.
•A student from team pick a card and that team member has to answer for this question and if student give wrong
answer then their team will get one negative point as in the negative frame
•If student give correct answer for the question then their team will get five points for each correct answer
•The basis of wining the team depends on this factor that the team which will give maximum correct answer then
that team will win the game and another team will lost their game.

Skills used to produce the game
While I was producing the game there were certain skills which were required at the the time of producing a
game. These skills can be problem-solving, creativity, research, team management, awareness and attention and
hand-eye coordination skills. While I was designing the game I have to research about the questions related to
academic misconduct so that I can properly frame questions into appropriate manner. Creativity skill is necessary
while I was producing the game because designing of questions requires creativity and it should be frame out into
appropriate manner. When I was producing the game I have to think about team members coordination and how
many players should I have to decide within a team. So it was required that management of team can only lead
towards successful completion of game. I have to be aware about proper scoring points while producing the
game so that I can assign proper scores while assigning scores at the time game conduct. For this purpose I
needed attention towards the game so that game should be not designed into inappropriate manner. While I was
producing the game I have realised that there should be proper coordination in between eyes and hands so that
different coloured does not get mix in appropriate manner. So its important to have this hand-eye coordination
skills while I was designing the game.
