Which of the following statements about penalties on ghostwriting assignments is false?
Penalties for students who have engaged ghostwriters can be applied even after the term has ended, and after the assignment has been submitted and marked. Students who use a ghostwriter to write or rewrite their assignment will fail the assignment and possibly the course. They may also risk being expelled if they are repeat offenders.
Which of the following Turnitin similarity index is the threshold for plagiarism?
- 10% to 19%
- 20% to 29%
- Above 30%
- Below 10%
- None of the above
- All of the above
Plagiarism is not all about the Turnitin similarity index. There is no threshold for plagiarism to be committed. A student can commit plagiarism with a low or high Turnitin similarity index. Plagiarism results from incorrect, incomplete, or missing citations, and/or copying of text, images, diagrams, or ideas from another source without attribution.
Which of the following should all members in a group refrain from doing in order to avert the risk of bullying particular group member(s)?
- Group members constantly dismissing or disregarding one or more group members’ contributions.
- Group members deliberately excluding one or more group members from discussions and work pertaining to the assignment.
- Group members deliberately omitting one or more group members’ names from group assignment submissions.
- Group members deliberately restricting one or more group members’ access to shared documents.
All of the options listed above are possible signs of group bullying. However, please note that this is a non-exhaustive list. Any student who thinks that she/he is a victim of group bullying should contact her/his instructor with the relevant evidence. No group member should take matters into his/her own hands and decide on ‘penalties’ for perceived offences. Any group issue should be brought directly to the lecturer for arbitration.

- Lectures and course notes

Plagiarism refers to using someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as your own whether on purpose or by accident. It is your responsibility to make sure you are responsible with your research and cite other people’s work and ideas. You commit a self-plagiarism when you copy, either in whole or in part, anything you have previously submitted whether for this course or any other course. You also commit plagiarism when you write anything similar, use the same sentences, or replicate the same argument, etc., as other students in this or any other course.
You do not commit plagiarism when you use quotation marks when you use the exact words of any part of an external source, provide in-text citations (including page number if it is available), and include the source in the reference list. You do not commit plagiarism when you do the same for all quotations throughout your assignment.
Note, however, that if large parts of your assignment consist of properly cited quotations, you may not have committed plagiarism but you will not attain a good grade as every assignment should be your independent and original work.
Page numbers should be included in citations of materials from sources with page numbers. Citations should be included for every appearance of materials from a source, not just the first appearance.
Source attribution is compulsory in all assignments including presentation slides.
All content from external sources should be correctly cited, including pictures or diagrams.
Which statement best defines ghostwriting?
- Ghostwriting refers to students collaborating on individual assignments.
- Ghostwriting refers to students engaging a third-party service to write or extensively edit an assignment.
- Ghostwriting refers to engaging any entity other than the individual taking the course to write or extensively edit an assignment.
- Ghostwriting refers to turning in work that is similar to another submission.
Ghostwriting refers to ii. and iii. only. It refers to situations where a student submits an assignment that has not been written by himself/herself.
I. and IV. are types of plagiarism. A student plagiarises if s/he collaborates on an assignment that should be completed individually, or turns in work that bears similarity to another submission or source.
Students should submit their assignments by the assignment deadline, not during the grace period. The grace period is meant to create a buffer for technical difficulties for students who submit their assignment before or on the deadline of the assignment. For technical difficulties to be recognised as genuine grounds for consideration, they must be acknowledged, registered and rectified by campus IT. Without these technical reports, 10 marks will be automatically deducted via the grade-book system for each 24-hour block after the assignment submission deadline.
Students who wish to withdraw from any SUSS Core course should approach Student Support for advice regarding the withdrawal process and conditions for withdrawal.
Which of the following statements about Group Work is/are true?
I. The Instructor decides the division of labour within the group.
II. Student contributions to the Group-Based Assignment (GBA) are graded individually according to the division of labour.
III. Non-contributing group members will get the same grade since it is group work.
IV. Group members decide among themselves what constitutes sufficient contribution, preferably during the first meeting.
Group members decide the division of labour within the group during the first meeting, as well as what constitutes sufficient contribution. Unless there is evidence of non-contribution, each group member will be given the same GBA grade. If non-contribution is proven, the offending group member will get a lower grade or zero for the GBA.
