Flagged Academic misconduct


Could you elaborate please? Was your personal statement flagged?
I’m guessing this has been posted in the wrong section and isn’t PS related.

It was my assignment, and of course it was graded 72/100 but I got a feedback saying one of the slides is someone's else work which is not I have not heard anything from the school just asking if anyone had been in such situation and how was it handled.

Hi there,

If you genuinely did all of the work yourself and you've nothing to hide, then have you thought about asking your lecturer who marked the assignment to elaborate on why they thought it was someone else's work, and some further feedback? Do you know yourself why it could have been flagged and if so, how you can adapt your work enxt time to make sure it doesn't happen again?

If this is the first time this has happened to you and it was a genuine accident then you don't need to worry about being heavily punished - but I'd recommend talking to your personal tutor about what usually happens in this situation and what next steps if any you need to take. You will almost certainly be fine - the key is to understand why your work was flagged and how to prevent it next time 🙂

As a side note, congratulations on your mark for the piece - it was clearly a good quality assignment at 72!

Hope this helps a bit and best of luck

Hello,
i hope you're well!!

i'm sorry to hear you're in such a situation and i understand how frustrating this must be.
if you haven't copied anyone's work then you hve nothing to worry about, if you haven't heard anything back it's worth getting in touch with your module leader or lecturer who gave you this feedback and bringing this up, since it has already been graded i would believe it wouldn't be anything to worry particularly about just getting in touch with your lecturer.
