MODULE 6 : ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE 

 Avoiding Plagiarism

As a student we need to be integrity at all time especially in academic. Having integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. Academic integrity is so important because dishonest behavior like plagiarism undermines your learning. Plagiarism is taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. Students assessment activities like examination, assignment, reports, presentation and research must be their own work. Copy and paste behavior is example of plagiarism. Use your own idea will produce honest work with full integrity.
