Stuart is an international student not used to writing in English. He has a 1,000 word essay due in
a week. He knows that while his ideas are good, his structure and grasp of academic language are
pretty bad. He asks his friend Liam, a native English speaker, to check his essay for him and
suggest how he can improve it.
When Liam gives him the essay back, Stuart is amazed. Liam has nicely re-written whole
paragraphs of Stuart's ideas and obviously put a lot of effort into making it sound academic.
However, Stuart is a little worried because he can barely recognize the essay - he even had to
translate a few words!
What kind of academic misconduct would Stuart be committing if he handed it in?
Refer to lesson 1.4a.
Check one option.
(a). Cheating
(b). Plagiarism
(c). Facilitation of academic misconduct
(d). Fabrication of data
(e). Falsification of data
It isn't academic misconduct because Stuart wrote the original.
1 correct answers (b). Plagiarism
Myer has just had a really long day and is finishing up a Physics experiment in the lab. When
Myer goes to save the data she's been working on, her computer malfunctions and she is forced
to restart it. Unfortunately, because of this, Myer has just lost all of the results from the
experiments she's been doing for the past three hours.
Myer is horrified and quickly starts to write down all of the numbers that she remembers. She
can accurately remember half of them, is pretty confident about another 30%, but has no idea
what the final 20% are. She checks the time and realizes that if she starts the experiment again
she will be in the lab until 11pm, and she is already exhausted.
What should Myer do?
(a). Have a break, calm down and come back and do the experiment again. She needs to have the
proper results.
(b). Write down all the results she remembers and then guess the final 20%. She knows 80% of
the data, so it isn correct answers (a). Have a break, calm down and come back and do the
experiment again. She needs to have the proper results.
4.Question 4
, Considering the same example as above;
Myer has just had a really long day and is finishing up a Physics experiment in the lab. When

she will be in the lab until 11pm, and she is already exhausted.
If Myer decides to go with b) "Write down all the results she remembers and then guess the final
20%", what kind of academic misconduct is she committing?
(a). She isn't committing academic m correct answers (c). This is an example of fabrication or
falsification of data.
According to the module, how often do you use problem-solving skills while at university?
(a). Only occasionally when your lecturers want to give you brain teasers.
(b). Only Mathematics, Pure Science and Engineering students use problem-solving skills at
university.
(c). Problem-solving tasks are the back-bone of university study and as such you use problem-
solving skills on a day to day basis.
(d). You will need to use problem solving skills in exams, but not generally at other times.
correct answers (c). Problem-solving tasks are the back-bone of university study and as such you
use problem-solving skills on a day to day basis.
Consider the following problem from a university course:
"A gallon of gasoline has the potential energy of approximately 276.3 MJ. Assume that a
gasoline engine is driving a generator and the generator is supplying electricity to a 50 W lamp.
The overall efficiency (from gasoline to electrical energy) of the engine-generator set is 15%.
How long will the lamp provide light from one gallon of gasoline?
(Adapted from: Eide, Jenison, Northup, & Mickelson, 2011, p. 392)
What is the goal of this problem?
(a). To find out how efficient the engine-generator is
(b). To find the length of time the lamp will provide light from one gallon of gasoline
(c). To find the potential energy of one gallon of gasoline
(d). To find the length of time the lamp will provide light from one litre of gasoline correct
answers (b). To find the length of time the lamp will provide light from one gallon of gasoline
Consider the following problem from a university course:
"In 2006, Mt Red High School, a public school in Sydney's inner-west, ranked 1st in NSW for
HSC Physics and Biology. Since 2013, however, there has been a sharp decline the Physics
scores and this year only 3 students signed up for the course. A study was done that indicates
students are losing interest in Science during year 9. Design a curriculum outline with the aim of
