4. Academic integrity

To ensure academic honesty and proper citation practices, students MUST include the
original sentences from the cited works in their assignment. These original sentences
should be provided along with proper citations to allow for verification. If original sentences
from the cited sources are not provided, the submission will not be accepted or checked, as
the content cannot be verified.
If a submission contains fake, AI-generated, or falsified information (such as fabricated
articles, fake citations, or misrepresented information from real sources), the work will
be disqualified.
Any falsified or unverifiable citations will be considered a violation of academic integrity
policies and may result in penalties, including failing the assignment or further disciplinary
action.
