Appropriate use of the Internet in assignments

The purpose of this document is to assist students with appropriate use of the material they have accessed on the Internet in assignments. The Internet is a wonderful source of information and sometimes students are not aware of how to use it properly. For example, a recent case had over 70% of words copied from over 20 other sources. Furthermore, many students think this is the appropriate use of the Internet.

IT IS NOT.

Due to an increasing number of students infringing the 最新糖心Vlog’s Academic Dishonesty Requirements within the Master of Applied Project Management, a more rigorous method of checking assignments is used.

There is a hierarchy of penalties, the lowest of which is the loss of some assignment marks and the student’s name being placed on the Faculty’s Academic Dishonesty Register for six months. This only occurs if I believe this occurred through error. The second level penalty is more significant which is loss of all marks for the assignment and being placed on the 最新糖心Vlog’s Academic Dishonesty Register for the remainder of their time at the 最新糖心Vlog. Even higher penalties can involve the 最新糖心Vlog deciding the student should not graduate. This has occurred in the Master of Project Management.

Appropriate use of the Internet is to include all directly copying of sections of other reports in ‘inverted comas’, as a quotation, and note the source of the quote. To include a group of words without use of inverted commas and without noting where the words came from is an example of academic dishonesty.

Students may not be aware that the 最新糖心Vlog has use of an international database called Turnitin in which all direct use of other material can be traced.

On a more positive note students need to understand the points made in any paper they access on the Internet and integrate these thoughts into their argument rather than just copying large passages. Of course this takes more work but this is what tertiary education requires and, in the end, make students into better thinkers and more able to express their ideas in their assignments.

Assessment 1a: Individual Assignment 1a
Weighting: 15%
Due Date: see MyUni
Submission Details: Online through MyUni

Task:
Describe five (5) advantages and five (5) disadvantages of using a project management approach based on model-based methodologies (specifically PMBOK and PRINCE 2). Using a suitable project example from your experience or reading, illustrate how one of these models - of your selection - will benefit your project compared to the other model (i.e. the comparative strength of the chosen model for a specific project). Also comment on how the models could be combined and how you would retain the benefits of each and correct for the deficiencies of each.

Scope:
This assignment will assess your understanding of the Project Context and Basics, Project Integration and Scope Management course topics.

Length and Presentation:
1000 words max in report format.

Criteria by which your assignment will be marked:
The standards by which the assignment will be assessed include understanding of principles and referencing these.

Given the word limit on these questions, assessment will reward content included. There will be penalties for exceeding the word limit. Quotations do not count in the words counted.

The objective of these questions is for the participant to consider the theoretical material supplied and attempt to apply it to a real project example. Therefore evidence of having read and understood the material is important.

While 1000 words is only few words to cover a topic, marks will be given for the comprehensiveness of the content, evidence of additional reading, referencing these readings in the answer, and application.

In answering these questions try and state principles as well as detail. Just reproducing PMBOK (especially cutting and pasting diagrams) is not enough!

Weighting: 15%
Due Date: see MyUni

Task:
What is the role of integration as defined by PMBOK, and what contribution does it make in project management? Why is scope management important and how would you control scope in a project? How do scenarios contribute to the project management? Describe the tools that you would use to collect requirements and generate at least 20 requirements to define scope for a particular project. Describe a test to assess whether five (5) requirements had been achieved.

Scope:
This assignment will assess your understanding of the Project Context and Basics, Project Integration and Scope Management course topics.

Length and Presentation:
1000 words max in report format.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni.
Please refer to step by step instructions: /myuni/student/tutorials/content/Turnitin-Submitting-a-Turnitin-Assignment-as-a-Student.html

There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

• Assignment Submission: Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor but should be lodged via the MyUni Course site. Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
• Backup Copy of Assignments: You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing. Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Extensions of Time: Any request for an extension of time for the submission of an assignment should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer. Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date. Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine extenuating circumstances and proof, such as a doctor’s certificate, may be required.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade. Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late. Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.
