Our most important rules
• Academic Integrity at RMIT is very important:
• Violating rules around academic integrity at RMIT can have severe consequences
(from affecting your grade all the way to having to leave RMIT).
• Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility in scholarship through
respecting the work of others whilst having the freedom to build new insights, new
knowledge and ideas. (See RMIT’s Academic Integrity page at

• Plagiarism and collusion constitute extremely serious academic misconduct and
are forms of cheating.
• Plagiarism is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person as
though it is your own.
• Collusion is an unauthorised collaboration between two or more students and
presenting as their own original work, with the intent to deceive.

Test Question Topics –
Our most important rules
• What do RMIT's rules around Academic Integrity mean for you and this
course?
• You are allowed to discuss an assignment with your peers but are not allowed to
share specifics (such as the specifics of the problem set or the solution you came
up with).
• You are not allowed to share specific solutions (complete or partial) of the
assignment with your peers.
• You are not allowed to use other students' answers. You have to develop your own
answers for your assignments.
• You are allowed to discuss the general topics related the assignments with your
peers, as long as you don't share specifics about the assignment.
• However, you need to understand that the safest way to avoid plagiarism and
collusion issues is to do all of the work yourself and not share any of it with others.
• (Of course, collaboration with group members in your semester group project is
acceptable and you can share your work within the group.)

Test Question Topics –
Our most important rules
• To submit an assignment for this course, you have to submit work by
the deadline on BOTH systems:
the Canvas system AND the WebLearn system.
• If you submit your work only on Canvas or only on WebLearn, you will get 0 points for your
submission.
• WebLearn generates unique problem sets for each student and requires you to enter
calculation results as part of the answers to the questions you’re given.
• Your Canvas submission on the other hand should show all of your calculation steps and is
simply proof that you have done the calculation. It requires you to show all of the calculation
steps. This submission can then also be used as evidence by you if you find that, for example,
you had the correct calculation approach, but just entered the numbers incorrectly into
WebLearn.
• You have to submit your assignment on time, i.e. BEFORE the deadline.
• If you submit an assignment late without discussing this with the lecturer before, you have to
apply for Special Consideration - even if the assignment submission is just 5 minutes late.
