What is malpractice in University Assessments?
The University’s definition is when a candidate attempts to mislead or deceive the examiners concerning the work submitted. It is expected that this will be used to cover all types of attempts of academic fraud or deception that are not covered by the other three offences listed above. The types of acts that would fall into this definition range from stealing another student’s work to collusion with other students. There is a list of the types of offences that could be classed as malpractice on www.leeds.ac.uk/AAandR/cpff_annex2.htm.
