  12. Plagiarism The Department of Information Systems considers plagiarism to be the deliberate passing off of another person’s work as though it was your own, and willNOT be tolerated.At the very least, you would get zero for your work, and we would request that you withdraw from the Information Systems major. Since so much of the course mark is awarded for work done outside of our direct control, a great deal of trust is involved. We therefore view plagiarism in the same way as we do cheating in examinations. Similar rules apply to all student work such as projects, essays and other assignments.

  13. Some examples of Plagiarism • You downloaded material from the Internet and submitted it as your own work • You downloaded material from the Internet and copied whole paragraphs or pages of text into your assignment, but you edited them slightly so they fitted in. You might have written other parts of the assignment yourself, but chunks of it are made up of copied material. • You found a few articles or books that really say everything you need. You designed the structure of the assignment yourself and wrote quite a bit of it. But one or two sections are almost word-for-word from the articles or books you used. You did this because they said things in a way you felt you could not improve upon. • You acquired assignments from previous year’s students and used them in the manner described above. • Someone else wrote all (or part of) the assignment or project for you, either as a favour or for some kind of reward.

  14. Senate Policy on Plagiarism The Senate policy on plagiarism is accessible at http://www.uct.ac.za/uct/policies/plagiarism_students.pdf So what would the consequences of plagiarism be? At the very least, you would get zero for your assignment, you will have to appear before the Head of Department, and we would request that you withdraw from the Information Systems major. In cases where blatant copying has taken place, we would take disciplinary action, which could result in suspension or expulsionfrom the University.

  15. Group Work - IS Publication • You are required to produce an IS publication (magazine) in groups of 10 to 15 students (no more and no less!). • The IS Publication consists of 2 deliverables: • an Editorial Board – Due Date, Monday 09 March at 12h00 • the Final magazine – Due Date, Monday 04 May at12h00 • Both deliverables should be handed in to Vula (soft copy). A hard copy of the final magazine must be handed in to Heather Martin (Room 4.11 Leslie Commerce Building). • Bonus marks for early submissions.

  16. Appointments Groups must make appointments to see Salah Kabanda (Room 4.19, Leslie Commerce Building) during the week 16 to 20 March to receive feedback about their Editorial Board. Where possible, the entire group should attend.

  17. Editorial Board • The Editorial Boardshould include the following: • a completed Editorial Board Assessment form. This form must be completed on Vula • the detail and questions of a survey that you will carry out (see IS Publication Notes– point 1) • the articles that will be covered in your publication (see IS Publication Notes – point 2) • a mini project plan (see IS Publication Notes – point 3)

  18. Final magazine • Final magazine must meet following specifications: • In MS-Word 2007 • Hardcopy must be bound • properly proof read for typing and spelling errors • include the results of a survey (see IS Publication Notes – point 1) • contain your articles – the number of these should be the same number as the number of people in your group and should be written by the person specified in the Editorial Board (see– point 2) • include advertising (see IS Publication Notes – point 4) • include page numbers and a table of contents • no more than 10% of the content of any article may be directly copied (“cut-and-paste”) from any other source (exclude advertising from this percentage) and all sources of information must be referenced (see– point 5) • attach an individual response to a reflective questionnaire (see– point 6) - do not bind within the magazine; either slip it in or use a paperclip • you may include additional articles of interest (bonus features) such as crosswords, cartoons, IS movie reviews, IS book reviews, IS related classifieds, letters pages, etc. Bonus features do not count as articles in the magazine, but will earn bonus marks. • you may choose any fonts, colours and sizes, but the magazine should be clear to read • attach the following forms: • a Summary Assessment form - must be completed on Vula, and handed in with your final magazine • an overall publication rubric (marking memo) • an individual contribution form for each member –completed on Vula

  19. Challenges to you Know what's expected of you – ASK – use DFAQ Question everything (WIIFM?) - use DFAQ Listen Learn Plan, plan, plan – “failing to plan, is planning to fail” Look for examples Pass Enjoy yourself – have fun
