Consider the following email from a student to his lecturer. "Dear Dr Archer, My name is Kosta Poulos and I am a student in your APPSCI 102 course Exercise Science 2. I am writing to inform you that I will unfortunately be late to tomorrow's tutorial. I am a member of the Cronulla Sharks under-21s third grade side, and we are currently 2nd on the league table. However, we have an important game on Saturday with the no. 1 team, and because of this we will have a late training session the night before. The training session will run late, and I have never been good at waking up early, so I will need to sleep in. As a result I will be late to the tutorial. If there's anything important that I will miss, could you please let me know somehow. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Kosta" Is the email well-written? Why or why not? (Refer to 5.4b, 5.4c)

It is not well-written because it is not concise

It is not well-written because it is too informal

It is not well-written because Kosta didn't say 'thank you'

Consider the following post on a reflection/debate forum in an Education subject. Discussion question: What is your view on Vygotsky's notion of the zone of proximal development? Can you relate it to any examples in your own life? Student 109573: I think Vygotsky's (1930) notion of proximal development is a great way to understand education and how we might better support learning. It also moves away from a very individual or cognitive notion of education towards a more social model. It also gives greater importance to the role of teachers or other experts in children's development compared to other thinkers such as Piaget (1926), where the emphasis is much more on the individual development of the child. It is also certainly evident in my life, particularly in learning Chinese. I grew up in a large country town with almost no Chinese people in it, so I was unable to learn Chinese naturally. However my Chinese high school teacher effectively scaffolded my Chinese language learning so that I took it as subject in my university entrance exams. Without that scaffolding I would never have reached that level of use or expertise. Is the discussion board entry well-written? Why or why not? (Refer to 5.4d)

No, it is not well-written because it is too informal

No, it is not well-written because it doesn't refer to course content

No, it is not well-written because it is too short

I think of my soccer training in relation to this. My coach used to mix up the younger players with the older players so that the younger players could learn from the more experienced players. Is the discussion board entry well-written? Why or why not? (Refer to 5.4d)

No, it is not well-written because it is too informal

It's 4.30pm, and Mary has just submitted her essay for Introduction to Microbiology online. She feels pretty confident she did well. She spent a lot of time researching, and was able to provide good evidence for most of her claims.

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)

Facilitation of academic misconduct

It isn't academic misconduct because Stuart wrote the original

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? (Refer to lesson 1.4a)

Have a break, calm down and come back and do the experiment again. She needs to have the proper results

Write down all the results she remembers and then guess the final 20%. She knows 80% of the data, so it isn't a big deal

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 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. 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? (Refer to lesson 1.4a)

This is an example of fabrication or falsification of data

She isn't committing academic misconduct because she knows that 80% of the data is correct

This is an example of self-plagiarism
