Plagiarism Checker: A Game Design for Academic Integrity Assessment

This project details the design of a game called "Plag checker" aimed at educating students about plagiarism and academic integrity. The game involves two students who are tasked with identifying instances of plagiarism through a card game format. The game includes a set of questions related to academic misconduct, such as collusion, cheating, and proper referencing. The game is designed to improve students' knowledge and awareness of plagiarism, emphasizing the importance of academic integrity in their academic work. The project also explains the significance of academic integrity, defines plagiarism, and outlines the skills used in the game's creation, including research, writing, and presentation skills. The assignment includes a set of example questions and answers from the game, along with a bibliography of relevant academic sources.

moral code for academics. It provides knowledge and new ideas to the

unfair academic advantage. There are some of the basic rules that were
set by the university or the schools, but to have some unfair academic
advantage the individual tends to use some unfair means that are not
according to the rules given by the university and the school.
Game Design Skills used to produce the game
For the completion of the game I have got the technical
skills that were required for Bomb Shell. By adhering to
the rules of academic integrity I was able create, design
and organise the Bomb shell. I was also having the skills
of writing and paraphrasing so that I could easily frame
the question. The skills of academic research and the
skills required for PowerPoint was mainly needed.
The designed game will be used for assessing
plagiarism. This will help to supervise the work or
project done by students. In this game, there are two
students which will be involved and they will have
the responsibility to understand whether their work
is plagiarised or not.
There are two students who will be playing this
