It is very important, that in these difficult time you are even more mindful of not giving into the temptation of any kind of academic malpractice.\u00a0Any special measures\u00a0will not remove the sanctions for\u00a0plagiarism, collusion or any other form of academic misconduct – particularly contract cheating! Contract cheating\u00a0refers to someone\u00a0buying or commissioning\u00a0(including seeking to commission) either a whole assessment or part of it, for example from internet sites, essay “banks” or “mills”. It implies a clear intention to deceive the marker and is an extremely serious form of plagiarism. It may also take the form of any student who sells or offers to sell their own assessed work to other students.<\/p>\n

Contract cheating can be easily identified by tutors and\u00a0can have\u00a0very severe penalties \u2013 in some cases being removed from the course and University. Please refer to the University\u00a0academic conduct regulations<\/a>\u00a0on My Hallam for further information.<\/p>\n

Please contact Hallam Help on hallamhelp@shu.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0if you have difficulties completing your assignments. They will refer you to appropriate support.\u00a0If you have questions or concerns regarding any time-bound Blackboard exams and assessments you have been asked to do, please contact your module leader\/s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
