Academic Integrity
Holmes Institute is committed to ensuring and upholding Academic Integrity, as Academic Integrity
is integral to maintaining academic quality and the reputation of Holmes’ graduates. Accordingly, all
assessment tasks need to comply with academic integrity guidelines. Table 1 identifies the six
categories of Academic Integrity breaches. If you have any questions about Academic Integrity issues
related to your assessment tasks, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing
HC2101 Performance Management for HR T1 2022 Page 2 of 7
guidelines and support resources. Many of these resources can also be found through the Study Sills
link on Blackboard.
Academic Integrity breaches are a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from
deduction of marks, failure of the assessment task or unit involved, suspension of course enrolment,
or cancellation of course enrolment.
Table 1: Six categories of Academic Integrity breaches
| Plagiarism | Reproducing the work of someone else without attribution. When a student submits their own work on multiple occasions this is known as self-plagiarism. |
| Collusion | Working with one or more other individuals to complete an assignment, in a way that is not authorised. |
| Copying | Reproducing and submitting the work of another student, with or without their knowledge. If a student fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent their own original work from being copied, this may also be considered an offence. |
| Impersonation | Falsely presenting oneself, or engaging someone else to present as oneself, in an in-person examination. |
| Contract cheating | Contracting a third party to complete an assessment task, generally in exchange for money or other manner of payment. |
| Data fabrication and falsification |
Manipulating or inventing data with the intent of supporting false conclusions, including manipulating images. |

Assessment Design – Adapted Harvard Referencing
Holmes will be implementing as a pilot program a revised Harvard approach to referencing. The
following guidelines apply:
1. Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources which provide full text access to the
source’s content for lecturers and markers.
2. The Reference list should be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled:
References.
3. It should include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged alphabetically A-Z by
author surname. In addition, it MUST include a hyperlink to the full text of the cited
reference source.
For example:
Hawking, P., McCarthy, B. and Stein, A. 2004. Second Wave ERP Education, Journal of
Information Systems Education, Fall, http://jise.org/Volume15/n3/JISEv15n3p327.pdf
4. All assignments will require additional in-text reference details which will consist of the
surname of the author/authors or name of the authoring body, year of publication, page
number of content, paragraph where the content can be found.
For example:
“The company decided to implement a enterprise wide data warehouse business
intelligence strategies (Hawking et al, 2004, p3(4)).”
Non Adherence to Referencing Guidelines
Where students do not follow the above guidelines:
1. Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the guidelines will be asked to
resubmit their assignments.
2. Late penalties will apply, as per the Student Handbook each day, after the student/s have
been notified of the resubmission requirements.
3. Students who comply with guidelines and the citations are “fake” will be reported for
academic misconduct.
Assignment Specifications
Assignment Tasks
The assignment task is to write a job description and identify the matching skills that applicants
should have to qualify for the job vacancy within an industry. Students are required to apply the
selection and recruitment concepts learned in class to analyse skills requirement for the position
level.
Choose your industry. The first come, first served rule will apply. No two groups can use the same
industry for the assignment. Register your choice by sending an email to the coordinator (email:
[email protected]). Your email should state:
a. HC2101 Group Assignment – Group Number
HC2101 Performance Management for HR T1 2022 Page 4 of 7
b. Group Member Name/s & Student ID/s
c. Industry – e.g. banking, aviation, hospitality
d. Preferred Group Presentation schedule – choose from Week 10, 11 or 12.
A response will be sent. It will indicate, APPROVED or NOT APPROVED. Do not start your work unless
you have the email response. A deduction of 30% will be applied if you submit your work without
pre-approval.
The assignment will be submitted in 2 parts. The written assignment (25%) will be submitted online
on Blackboard by Week 9. Each group will then present in class (15%) — in person or via Zoom —
at their scheduled time from Week 10-12. Based on their presentation schedule, the powerpoint
slides must be submitted within 24 hours after the group presentation. Note: You will not be given
a second chance to present if you are late for your slot.
Students are strongly advised to attend the Drop In Sessions on Week 6 and 7 for a discussion
specific to the group assignment and to ask their questions as they progress with their group
work.
