Academic IntegrityAs a student of the USQ academic community, you are asked to work to uphold the principles of academic integrity during your course of study. USQ sets expectations and responsibilities of students, more specifically it states that students “will commit to engage in behaviour that is consistent with the University’s values of integrity and honesty in academic endeavours particularly when undertaking Assessment. (Academic Integrity Policy – Principles).
At university, students are expected to demonstrate their own understanding and thinking using the ideas provided by ‘others’ to support and inform their work, always making due acknowledgement to the source. While we encourage peer learning, it is not appropriate to share assignments with other students. If you do share your assignment with another student, and they copy part of or all of your assignment for their own submission, this is considered collusion and you may also be reported for academic misconduct. If you are unsure and need further information you can find this in the Academic Integrity Policy.
