学术不诚信类型 Academic misconduct
学术不诚信行为包括但不限于：
| # | 原文 Policy wording | 释义 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plagiarism – presenting for assessment someone else’s work as the student’s own. This includes failure to acknowledge clearly and explicitly the ideas, words, or work of another person whether these are published or unpublished. | 剽窃 |
| 2 | Self-plagiarism – submitting for assessment the same work that the student has previously submitted at Loughborough, or which has contributed to an award at any other institution, unless specific provision for this is made in the assessment brief. | 自我剽窃 |
| 3 | Contract cheating – engaging a third party to complete assessed work for a student who then submits it as their own. This can be where a student uses an online ‘essay mill’ or writing service to purchase work, but it is not necessary for money to be exchanged for contract cheating to occur – e.g. it may involve a student swapping papers with another student, or a student asking a friend, colleague, or family member to write an assignment for them as a favour. Contract cheating may also occur where a student arranges to have their work copy-edited or proof-read, either commercially or by a friend, colleague, or family member, and the amendments made are so substantial that the work can no longer be considered to be the student’s own. | 代写/代考 |
| 4 | Assisting another student to gain an advantage by unfair means or receiving such assistance, for example by impersonation (where arrangements are made for someone else to impersonate a student by sitting their assessment in person or remotely), or undeclared failure to contribute to group coursework. | 协助他人违反学术诚信 |
| 5 | Obtaining and/or distributing a copy of another student’s work without their permission. | 未经许可获取或分发其他学生作品的副本 |
| 6 | Falsifying or fabricating data, evidence, or experimental results in assessed work. | 伪造或捏造数据、证据或实验成果 |
| 7 | Collusion – working with another student on an assessment which is intended to be the student’s own work. This includes submitting assessed work as the student’s own of which the student is not the sole author, or providing material which is submitted by another student as their own. | 与其他学生一起完成本应独立完成的作品 |
| 8 | Failing to comply with the rules for Written Examination Candidates (in Regulation VIII), including possession of prohibited materials or technology during an examination, class-test, or equivalent. | 不遵守考场规范 |
| 9 | Breaches of research and ethics policies – e.g. carrying out research without appropriate permission. | 违反研究和伦理政策 |
学术不诚信惩罚 Academic penalty
学术不诚信的惩罚包括但不限于（当学生被认定犯有重大违规行为时，学术不诚信委员会可处以下列一项或多项处罚）：
| # | 原文 Policy wording | 释义 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The issue of a formal reprimand. | 正式训诫（警告） |
| 2 | The reduction by any amount of any or all of the marks obtained by the candidate in any module in the current part of the candidate’s programme. | 作业或考试分数减少或零分 |
| 3 | The withdrawal of reassessment rights in any module in the current part of the candidate’s programme. | 取消当前阶段任何模块的重考/重新评估资格 |
| 4 | To set a cap on any mark achieved by the candidate on reassessment in any module in the current part of the candidate’s programme. | 重考或重交但设置分数上限 |
| 5 | The immediate termination of the candidate’s studies. | 立即终止学业（退学） |
| 6 | In exceptional circumstances, where a student is found guilty of a first offence of academic misconduct in relation to a module undertaken on a second attempt basis, the Committee may permit the student to resubmit the work in which academic misconduct was found, at the next available opportunity, with the aim of achieving the minimum level of performance to allow progression (in which case the mark for the work will be capped at that minimum level). | 例外情况下，若学生在第二次修读的模块中首次被判学术不诚信，委员会可允许其在下次机会重交，以达到可继续学业的最低标准（此时该作业分数将被限制在该最低水平） |
