policy.

A. First offence of plagiarism

a. A student will be allowed to re-submit the assignment once, within a maximum period of

one week. However, a penalty of deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the resubmitted

work will be imposed.

b. Mark deduction: When the work is resubmitted, the marking will be undertaken according

to the marking criteria. In compliance with this policy, the 25% deduction is then made on the

marks obtained. For example, in an assessment that carries a maximum of 50 marks, suppose

a student were to obtain 30 marks for the resubmitted work, the final marks for that assessment

will be 22.5 (after deducting 25% of the marks actually obtained for the resubmitted work).

c. Period of resubmission: The student will have to resubmit the work one week from the date

he or she is advised to resubmit. For example, if the formal advice to resubmit was

communicated to the student on a Sunday (latest by 5 pm), the student will have to resubmit

the work latest by next Sunday 5 pm.

d. If the re-submitted work is also detected to be plagiarized, then the work will be awarded a

zero.

e. Resubmission of the work beyond the maximum period of one week will not be accepted

and the work will be awarded a zero.

B. Any further offence of plagiarism

a. If any student is again caught in an act of plagiarism during his/her course of study (either

in the same module, same semester or in any other semester), the student will directly be

awarded zero for the work in which plagiarism is detected. In such cases, the student will not

be allowed to re-submit the work.

C. Guidelines

a. Type 1: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted at

different times) of one assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for

Research methods and Project Design (BUSS1008) – Fall-2019–CW3– QP

BUSS 1008 Page 5 of 9

the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs

to be resubmitted.

b. Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in a group assessment, all students of the group will

be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is

on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all

students.

c. Type 3: Combination of Type 1 and Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in any component

or part submission (submitted at different times) of a group assessment (assignment), the

deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the

component or part submission alone needs to be resubmitted. All students of the group would

be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is

on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all

the students of the group.

d. Type 4: Variation of Type 1 and Type 2: In cases where the assessment consists of

components or part submissions that could be a group assessment component (e.g. group

assignment) and an individual assessment component (e.g. individual reflection), the

following will be applicable:

1. If plagiarism is detected in the group assessment component, all students of the group will

be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism, irrespective of whether plagiarism is

on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all

students of the group. In such cases the group assessment component will be resubmitted as

per the policy.

2. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual assessment

component will be resubmitted as per the policy. The policy will then be applied to that student

alone.

3. In both cases (a) and/or (b), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole

assessment (assignment).

D. Amount of similar material

a. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from all sources put

together should not exceed 30% (including direct quotations).

b. The total amount of quoted material (direct quotations) in any form of student work from

all sources put together should not exceed 10%.

c. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from a single source should

not exceed 7 percent. However, cases having a similarity of less than 7 percent in such cases

may still be investigated by the faculty depending on the seriousness of the case.

d. If faculty member find enough merit in the case of a student work with a similarity (with a

single source) of more than 7 percent as not a case of plagiarism, the faculty member should

provide detailed comments/remarks to justify the case.

Late Submission

Penalty for late submission – 5% of the maximum mark specified for the assessment will be

deducted for each working day.

Assessment documents submitted beyond a period of one week after the last date of

submission will not be accepted and will be marked as zero for that assessment.

I had to do major editing to the paper as there seemed to have lots of fluff in it. Nothing against the writer, I just know how the professor is and she will call it fluff. Tell the writer that overall good job done. Let's see what the grade will be. I will keep you posted. On to the next paper.
