Academic Integrity
Students must ensure that all work completed for this course is their own work. Any
evidence of plagiarism, data falsification, fabrication, collusion, self-plagiarism and/or other forms
of academic misconduct will be penalized. Further, information can be found in the Code of
Practice on Academic Integrity.
Academic excellence and high achievement are only possible in an environment where the
highest standards of academic honesty and integrity are maintained: students at SDU must ensure
they adhere to this requirement. Active participation is an integral part of teaching and learning at
SDU. Therefore, regular class attendance is required of all students and records of any absences
are kept for each class: a student whose attendance falls below 70% will fail the course.
Students are also expected to be in class on time: poor punctuality is seen as being
discourteous to the teacher and other students, therefore repeat incidences of late arrivals are
subject to a penalty. The use of electronic devices (e.g.: computers, tablets, phones) is only
permitted upon tutor instruction. Any other activities (e.g.: texting, surfing, gaming, social emails,
online shopping…etc.) are strictly forbidden during class time. Students found to be engaged in
any non-class activity may lose marks for overall participation.
All course materials including textbook, lectures, assignments, projects will be available
on Moodle platform and Classroom.
