This means working with others the right way.

1. Do group work the right way

To maintain academic integrity:

Cartoon watering can watering the phrase 'Collaborate with Care'
  • Confirm the form of your group work task (for example, you may be assessed individually or as a group), with your tutor, lecturer or supervisor.
  • If you are being assessed individually, all group members should work individually on their own sections. In your submission, make it clear who has done which piece of work.
  • If you are being assessed as a group, keep a record of any discussions or decisions, and keep track of any changes to draft documents using suggested track changes. 
  • Talk to your tutor, lecturer or supervisor if there is an issue with unequal contributions to the overall group assessment or if you are concerned that a group member is not maintaining academic integrity.
  • Confirm with your tutor or Subject Coordinator if and how you can collaborate with generative AI tools to complete the task.

To avoid misconduct:

Looking for support?

We can help

  • Don't take credit for another member of the group's work.
  • Don't do the work for another member of the group, even if they're not doing their fair share (talk to your tutor, lecturer or supervisor if this happens).
  • Don't work with other group members to do your individual section if you are being assessed individually.

2. Study together with care

To maintain academic integrity:

  • Share ideas and discuss course content (such as general themes, ideas and concepts).
  • Take your own study notes.

To avoid misconduct:

  •  Don't work together on assessments that are meant to be completed individually.

3. Keep your assessments and study notes for you (even past ones)

To avoid misconduct:

  • Don't share your assessments or study notes with friends or classmates (even if they just want to 'take a look').
  • Don't share your assessments or study notes online or via file sharing sites.

4. Get the right extra help if you need it

To maintain academic integrity:

  • Having a friend read your assessment for typos, spelling and minor grammar errors is okay (but changing your wording, content, structure or argument is misconduct) 
  • Get help developing your academic skills from UTS, including free and confidential assignment reviews.

To avoid misconduct:

  •  Don't use 'tutoring' or 'assignment help' websites or services (these are usually cheating sites or services).

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation and the Boorooberongal People of the Dharug Nation upon whose ancestral lands our campuses now stand. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
