6. SIMILARITY THRESHOLD, VIOLATIONS & PENALTIES AND RECORDS

Similarity Threshold:
1. The faculty teaching the course will review the student work submitted together with the originality report
to determine if the work complies with the maximum similarity percentage for categories of academic work
as shown below:

Student Academic Work Item Percentage of Similarity Threshold

Continuous Assessment (coursework, assignments, mini-projects,
30%
case studies, presentations, etc.)
Major Assessments such as thesis, graduation project and
internship report, final project or course work used as replacement 20%
of final exams.

Violations & Penalties:

1. Where the similarity ratio for any submitted work is equal to or less than the acceptable percentage of
similarity shown in the table in 1 above, the mark recorded as assigned.
2. Where the similarity ratio for any submitted work is over the acceptable percentage of similarity shown in
the table in 1 above by 15% or more (i.e. 45% or more for continuous assessment or 35% or more for major
assessments) the work will be rejected with no possibility of revision or second submission and the grade
assigned and recorded for the item will be zero (0).
3. Where the similarity ratio for any submitted work is more than the acceptable percentage of similarity
shown in the table in 1 above by less than 15% (i.e. in the range 31%-44% for course work and 21%-34% for
major assessments) a penalty will be imposed as follows:
• First Offense (less than 15% over threshold): the grade assigned and recorded for the item will be
reduced by 25%.
• First Offense (more than 15% over threshold): the grade assigned and recorded for the item will be
zero (0).
• Repeat Offense(s) (over threshold by any amount): the grade assigned and recorded for the item will
be zero (0). The case will also be referred to the Academic Malpractice Mitigation & Appeals Panel,

PRESENTATION CONTENT
Introduced presentation in clear way.
Most information relevant; some topics
needed expansion or shortened.
The central message is identifiable;
sections of the presentation vary in
explicit organizational pattern, which
influences the audience engagement
level or comprehension of the central
message.
Included transitions to connect key
points but speakers often used fillers
such as um, ah, or like.
Ends with a summary of main points
showing some evaluation but over the
25-word limit. Transitioned to close.
PHYSICAL PRESENTATION AND DELIVERY
Within 40 seconds of the allotted time.
Slides contain appropriate material but
too much text or too many
images/builds. Handouts and other
materials provide useful information for
further consideration but may not
directly relate to central topic.
Most members speak in clear voice, but
voices of some members drop in volume
at times; all members still use vocal
variation to show interest.
Speakers maintain eye contact most of
the time but frequently return to notes.
Speakers spent significant time
preparing and appear at ease but don't
elaborate.
Confident demeanor: some members
may need to add or subtract gestures to
emphasize points.
Presented facts with some interesting
"twists"; held attention most of the time
by interacting with them. Good variety
of materials/media.
For the most part, all members appear
appropriate for the occasion and
audience.
INTERPERSONAL GROUP DYNAMICS
All group members participate but two
or three people are primary speakers.
Most transitions between speakers are
conducted in smooth ways; one or two
group members seem unclear about
their roles or the timing of their parts.
Most members address topic shift and
purpose.
Each group member demonstrates
awareness of role and that of other
speakers. Some members anticipated
audience questions, and 1 or 2 members
have apt responses. Most members
recognize all parts of presentation,
slides, handouts, and other supporting
materials.
