Essay Academic Integrity Case Scenarios – Kai Case Study – Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task:

Scenario One: Pressure to share

Kai has arrived in Australia to undertake the Bachelor of Nursing program at Flinders University. Despite some initial homesickness and nervousness around being new to the Australian culture, Kai is now settling in well and has found a nice group of friends at university, some of whom are from Kai’s home country. A few of Kai’s friends are taking the same topics this semester and they are meeting up regularly to talk about how they are progressing with the content and assignments. 

Following one of these meetings a fellow student takes Kai aside and asks for help. They state they are very overwhelmed with their studies, are very time poor and their written English language is not as advanced as Kai’s. They are having trouble with the latest essay assignment for this topic, which is due tomorrow. They state they are desperate and request to review Kai’s completed essay to provide some pointers for their own paper. Kai has concerns that this could potentially lead to some issues with academic integrity but feels sorry for them and obliged to support a fellow country person. 

Questions:

1. What are the specific example/s of a failure to meet student academic integrity requirements that might arise from this situation? 

• Explore the scenario, then list and define the specific examples of failure to meet student academic integrity requirements relevant to this scenario 

2. If an academic integrity issue is suspected, and determined, following submission of both papers, what are the implications for both Kai and the other student? 

•  Briefly discuss the process of investigation that occurs following a failure to meet student academic integrity requirements. Things to consider might include: o What are the responsibilities of each student involved? o What are the roles and responsibilities of the First Reviewer (Topic coordinator)?
• What are the roles and responsibilities of the Second Reviewer (Academic Integrity Officer or Dean of Education)?
• What is the aim of the Academic Integrity Register? o What are the implications of subsequent determinations of a failure to meet student academic integrity requirements?
