Exam Technique
– Plan how you will allocate time (wisely)

– Use “reading time” to check your understanding

– Also to plan time allocation to questions

– Plan the order of answering questions (e.g. answer easier ones first)

– Answer everything

– Plan your answer and write answers relevant to the questions

– Quality not quantity

– Write clearly and efficiently

– If you are asked to list features, using bullet points is more efficient and easier to read

– Answer as instructed (provided text space or write and upload)

• Plan your answers on “rough work” pages

The University of Sydney Page 63

Academic dishonesty and plagiarism

• Please read the University policy on Academic Honesty carefully:

http://sydney.edu.au/elearning/student/EI/academic_honesty.shtml

• All cases of academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be investigated

• There is a new process and a centralized University system and database

• Plagiarism – when you copy from another student, website or other source. This includes

copying the whole assignment or only a part of it.

• Academic dishonesty – when you make your work available to another student to copy (the

whole assignment or a part of it). There are other examples of academic dishonesty.

• Misconduct – when you engage another person to complete your assignment (or a part of

it), for payment or not. This is a very serious matter and the Policy requires that your case is

forwarded to the University Registrar for investigation.

The University of Sydney Page 64

Penalties

• The penalties are severe and include:

1) a permanent record of academic dishonesty, plagiarism and misconduct in the

University database and on your student file

2) mark deduction, ranging from 0 for the assignment to Fail for the course

3) expulsion from the University and cancelling of your student visa

• When there is copying between students, note that both students are penalised – the

student who copies and the student who makes his/her work available for copying

The University of Sydney Page 65

Detection

• We will use the similarity detection software TurnItIn and MOSS to compare

your assignments with these of other students (current and previous) and the

Internet

• Turnitin is for text documents: http://www.turnitin.com/en_us/higher-

education

• MOSS is for programming code:

https://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/moss/

• These tools are extremely good!

The University of Sydney Page 66

Student excuses

• All these are cases of plagiarism and academic dishonesty we have seen in our school and the student excuses

are not acceptable:

• I sat the test and then posted the questions and solutions to my friends whose test was later in the

week. I only wanted to help them understand the concepts that are examinable.

• I posted parts of my code on my web page (group discussion forum) because my solution was

cool (or I wanted to help them). I didn’t expect them to copy it.

• I tried to do the assignment on my own but I had problems with the extension part that I couldn’t

fix, so I submitted my core part and his extension part. I didn’t cheat.

• I finished my assignment but my friend had family problems. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her my

assignment as an example. She said she only wanted to have a look and promised not to copy it.

• The test has finished but the tutor hasn’t collected the papers yet. I showed my answer to my

friend. I didn’t expect him to copy it.

• He is my best friend. I had no choice but to let him copy my assignment.

The University of Sydney Page 67

Key message

• Plagiarism and any form of academic dishonesty will be dealt with, and the

penalties are severe

• We use plagiarism detection systems such as MOSS and TurnItIn that are extremely

good. If you cheat, the chances you will be caught are very high.

• If someone asks you to see or copy your assignment, or to complete the assignment

instead of them, just say: I can’t do this. This is against the University policy. I will not

risk my future by doing this.

Be smart and don’t risk your future by engaging in plagiarism and academic

dishonesty!

The University of Sydney Page 68

Illness

– If you are unwell, and it seems that you won’t be able to demonstrate your

knowledge/skill properly, then you can request special consideration

– Follow the same procedure as during semester (get medical person to fill out

special USyd form, hand it in within one week)

– Check university policies

– Usual outcome: an alternate test, a few weeks later

– If you become sick during the exam itself, raise hand and speak to the

invigilator

– The University goal is to get a fair assessment of what you have achieved

The University of Sydney Page 69

Special Consideration (University Policy)

– If your performance on assessments is affected by illness or misadventure

– Follow proper bureaucratic procedures

– Have professional practitioner sign special USyd form

– Submit application for special consideration online, upload scans

– Note you have only a quite short deadline for applying

– http://sydney.edu.au/current_students/special_consideration/

– Also, notify coordinator by email as soon as anything begins to go wrong

– There is a similar process if you need special arrangements eg for religious
observance, military service, representative sports
