1.10 Extra restrictions on attempts

1.10 The extra restrictions on attempts section of the iCMA definition form

Students cognisance of plagiarism policy: The choices are

  • not required
  • must be acknowledged before starting an attempt

The latter setting results in the following being displayed when an iCMA is first started.

Please read the following message

The University has to ensure as far as possible that the work submitted by students is their own and does not contain any unreferenced material from other sources. The University statement 'What constitutes plagiarism or cheating' appears in the Plagiarism Policy Document and in your Assessment handbook and you are expected to have familiarised yourself with it. Please be aware that the University may subject your work to checks (including computerised checks) for plagiarism and in some instances may need to seek further information from you. Any cases where a basis for concern about the originality of the work is identified will be considered under the University's policy on academic conduct.

I confirm that I have read the statement 'What constitutes plagiarism or cheating' and that my answers will be my own work.

Questions are withheld until the student gives the appropriate confirmation.

This confirmation is only required on the first visit to an iCMA.

All iCMAs which are a formal part of the module assessment policy should be configured to require students to acknowledge that they must not share answers.
