CHAPTER 7; ( ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PERFORMANCE )

After we attended the primary and secondary school, we will continue our studies in university. Each university or study platform will have their own evaluating academic and performance system itself. So, each student will have to accomplish it with the right way to finish with no problem and successfully. In case to do that, we need to do and submit all the assessment and assignments given by our lecturer whole-heartedly to avoid mistakes and get a great grades and marks. As in university system, it uses the CGPA which in simply way means the pointer of the sum of the grade from all subjects that we take from the whole semester. First, while completing assignments, we need to avoid plagiarism which will avoid us in getting bad marks and evaluation by our lecturer.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM ?

It is an act of using or closely imitating the language and thought of another author without giving authorization (permission) and not crediting to the original author.

Example of plagiarism: -

• Turning in someone’s work as your own

• Copying works without credit

• Fail to put quotation marks (““)

• Copying so many words or ideas without credit

WHAT IS PARAPHASE ?

It means that you restate in another form by rewrite it with your own words that based on your understanding.

If you CREATE it so you CAN, if you NOT, you must have permission so you can link to it or use short quotation mark.

CALCULATING CGPA (CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE)
