                               TOPIC 7 : ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE

First of all.Hye guys.We are at week 6 right now.2 weeks before final exam and going back to my hometown.For this week,I learned a new topic about academic integrity and performance that I must achieve in the university and which subject I must perform well to be one of decan list for every semester.This topic is taught by Sir Mohd Norafizal bin Abdul Aziz.It is interesting because he taught us how to calculate CGPA to know our result.I also learned about plagiarism.So,let's proceed with it.

                                           THE MEANING OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic integrity is the moral code or ethical policy  of academic.This includes values such as avoidance of cheating or plagiarism; maintenance of academic standards; honesty and rigor in research and academic publishing.
                             
                                     THE MEANING OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Academic performance is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their short or long-term educational goals. Cumulative GPA and completion of educational degrees such as High School and bachelor's degrees represent academic achievement.Academic achievement is commonly measured through examinations or continuous assessments but there is no general agreement on how it is best evaluated or which aspects are most important. 

                                          

                                                         THE MEANING OF PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.Plagiarism is also considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalist ethic. In the academic world, plagiarism by students is usually considered a very serious offense that can result in punishments such as a failing grade on the particular assignment, the entire course, or even being expelled from the institution.

                       

                                                  THE COMMON TYPE OF PLAGIARISM

                                               THE MEANING OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

 Grade Point Average (GPA) is a number representing the average value of the accumulated final grades earned in courses over time.

                 THE MEANING OF CUMMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)  is an overall weighted grade point average. Each course is worth a certain number of credits which is usually based on how many hours the class is held each week. For example, if a calculus class is held for 4 hours a week, it is probably going to be worth 4 credits.
