Introduction Instructions for playing the game
Piece of cake is the name of the game for students that
develops strategies for avoiding plagiarism and academic
misconduct. There will be small pieces of cake which are divided
according to the number of students playing this game. Every
initial letter of every word which is related to the academic
misconduct and academic integrity will be written on each piece
of cake. One by one, each and every student will get assigned the
piece of cake letter written on it. Each student has to say a word
starting from that letter but that word must be related to the
academic misconduct and integrity. If student is not able to guess
the word then, he or she will not be allowed to eat that piece of
cake and vice versa. This is the entire designing of the game
which is interesting for the students to play.
I have learnt so many skills
while producing this game of
avoiding plagiarism and academic
misconduct in order to maintain the
academic integrity. Such as research
skills about the essential topics
related for example, plagiarism,
academic misconduct, academic
integrity and many more. I have
also used by written
communication skills while
formulating the instructions of the
game with my own cognitive mind
and creative ideas.
It is concluded that avoiding plagiarism and
academic misconduct to maintain the academic
integrity is an important concept to learn and
study so that is application can be applied in the
real time university studies. This is because, this is
an ethical behaviour which are mandatory to
achieve in life not only for the academic but also
to qualify the good standard of life. Therefore, it is
important to create awareness of such things
among students so that they can learn avoiding
academic misconduct and gain academic integrity.
Hence, the above information all about designing
the game for students that develops strategies for
avoiding plagiarism and academic misconduct.
Also, instructions for playing the game in order to
know that why academic integrity at University is
so important and summary of the reflection on the
skills used to produce the game. Hence, this
posters covers all such areas in order to better
understand the conception of academic integrity.
