Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the
work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass
them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced
from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which
includes:
• Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
• Copying work either in whole or in part
• Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
• Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author
or web page
• Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion:
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other
people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or student’s external to the RTO. This
applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and
academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism
and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who
engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.
Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file and could lead
to disciplinary action.

Expenses

Publicity $15,800
Courier $2,000

The first choice of venue is unavailable on the day you require. The second-choice venue will
require an additional $5,000.
One of the speakers has just pulled out. The next best option is another speaker who has advised
that his fees will be $3,500 rather than the allocated $2,000 per speaker.
Soon after you sent the email in activity 2, you received the following email:
I recently attended a conference that included a comedian and singer. I found this to make the
conference much more interesting and memorable. I would like to incorporate this into our program. I
have made some enquiries and identified two suitable candidates. This would involve an additional cost
of $4,000 which I am hoping can be accommodated.
Regards
Marketing Manager
Assume that the conference is now completed, and you have been provided with the final
costs. Review the information provided to calculate and report on the success of the
conference assuming that a 50% profit was required.
Assume also that Senior Management has identified that, while the conference had a very
positive outcome, they would like further recommendations on best practice project cost
estimating. Provide at least four recommendations which you consider would improve project
estimating for future projects.
Attach your project change request and analysis and conference finances report to the email.
