Academic integrity and plagiarism 

Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas. 

You should take extreme care that you have: 

− Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods, 

− Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites. 

If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own. 

RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct. 

Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including: 

− Failure to properly document a source 

− Copyright material from the internet or databases 

− Collusion between students

Criteria Ratings Pts HD D C P N 

Criterion 1 

Instructions followed effectively 

The response to the instructions 

demonstrates critical thought in the 

application of 

responsive 

knowledge conveyed with skilled analysis and integration of observations from quality references. 

The response to the instructions 

demonstrates critical thought in the 

application of 

knowledge from the topic, but the 

academic rigour needs development in analysis of and integration of 

observations from quality references 

The response to the instructions 

demonstrates 

evidence of some analytical thought and integration of thought based on references, but there 

is a tendency to be more descriptive than analytical 

through the task response. 

The response to the task is more 

descriptive than analytical, but there is evidence of 

independent 

judgment and has gaps. 

Poor quality 

response to the task and contains little or no substantiation of 

claims, poor use of references and 

demonstrates a failure to grasp the instructions with a level of precision to obtain a pass or above

Criterion 2 

Appropriate development of the six questions and the justification of each question. 

Exceptionally clear understanding of subject matter and appreciation of issues; well 

organised, 

formulated and sustained 

arguments. 

Strong grasp of 

subject matter and appreciation of key issues, but lacking in part on the finer points

comprehension and application with 

some analysis is apparent. 

Some appreciation of subject matter and issues; work 

generally lacking in depth and breadth and with gaps. Work of this grade 

comprises a simple factual description - i.e. basic 

comprehension - but little application or analysis. Work of this grade is poorly prepared and 

presented. 

Investment of 

greater care and thought in organising and structuring work would be required to improve. 

Evidence of lack of understanding of subject (minimal or inadequate 

comprehension and little or no 

application) and inability to identify issues. Often 

inadequate in depth and breadth. 

Sometimes 

incomplete or 

irrelevant.
