Reference no: EM13960391 , Length: word count:2500

Goal of the assignment:

A postgraduate student has to be able to critically review literature, They have search for articles related to a particular problem themselves and critically review the literature, Most students find the easiest way to this is look at what has been done and think of what new research can be done, for example what factors have not been considered or if there different articles disagree how would you work out which article is correct. Follow the instructions given below and make sure you propose new research in the assignment you will have to refer to this new research in the exam.

Instructions:

*All the articles/reports used in the literature review must be related to the topic "cheating at university"

* You have to demonstrate you understand what a literature review is, so make sure you have looked at the lecture slides explaining what a literature review is.

For your literature review you must refer to the article

TEQSA, n.d (no date), Report on Student Academic Integrity and Allegations of Contract Cheatingby University Students. [online] Available at

https://www.teqsa.gov.au/sites/default/files/publication-documents/ReportOnAllegationsOfStudentMisconduct.pdf

The reference for the TEQSA article is

TEQSA, n.d. (no date), Report on Student Academic Integrity and Allegations of Contract Cheatingby University Students. [online] Available at

You are supposed to paraphrase the material so there is no excuse for accidentally pasting in references you did not use.

Tips:

Tip 1

Also note that you are doing a literature review, it is OK to start of talking about plagiarism is general terms but at least some of you literature review should have a narrow focus, it should focus on specific issues.

Tip 2

In a literature review you have to summarize the existing research and then propose new research, so you have to propose new research in your literature review. Not only do you have to propose new research in your literature review you have to refer to it in your final exam as well (refer to the sample final exams on moodle)

tip 3

As for your own example you can discuss the assignment you are doing, example

A good assignment is supposed to reduce cheating however a boring assignment may encourage students to cheat, If an assignment has specific instructions it makes it harder for students to use webpages that "help" students write assignments but do the instructions of this assignment help students write assignments, Do you think the instructions prevent cheating.

Tip 4

Think of a specific problem related to plagiarism

For example Pretend you actually work at KOI, The government demands students do not cheat, It also demands there is a high pass rate, So you cannot simply fail the students that cheat you have to actually prevent them from cheating. There are examples of cheating given on moodle so make a report that discusses the problem and how journal articles can help fix the problem.

This document has some claims and a related report and journal article, Use it if you are stuck for ideas on the literature review..

Some claims about cheating you can either agree or disagree

Claim 1

one reason why you should give students an assignment about cheating is that gives students an example of how government agencies place demands on a business. The fact that many students that blatantly cheat and get 0 but still argue say their mark needs to be changed clearly do not understand this.

Claim 2

It is difficult to do a proper literature review, they are not experts and they are not used to how academics describe the problem, However they do get a benefit from looking at actual journal articles and seeing how they discuss a specific problem and review the literature. If a student cheats by getting an essay from a website that makes fake essays they will not actually learn anything.
