In Your Own Words

The GCIT assessment submission sheet says: No part of this assessment has been copied from any other person's work No part of this assessment has been written for me

This means that every assessment that you submit must be your own work and it must be in your own wordsIt also says: If any of the above is false, it will be regarded as misconduct and will be subject to disciplinary action under Section 17.5 of the Student Rules

Virtualisation Research Assessment

I've only marked a few assignments so far, but nearly every single word has been copied from the WebExamplesMandeep, Sukwinder

A strategic danger businesses face when migrating their apps and data to the cloud is cloud lock-in. Cloud lock-in is where you tie your applications tightly to one cloud vendor, making it difficult to change. At the core of AWS are their IaaS offerings: EC2, S3 and EBS. These services essentially let you deploy servers and storage in the AWS cloud to run your app.

Examples

Vatan & Sandeep With virtualization, you can also run multiple types of applications and even run different operating systems for those applications on the same physical hardware When you use virtualization, management, administration and all the attendant requirements of managing your own infrastructure remain a direct cost of your IT operation.

Examples

Simranjit and Manjeet The most important path of security by cloud is authentication which protect data in internet protocols. Authentication mechanisms can also support proxy authorization, a facility allowing one user to assume identity of another user. Another way is anti-malware/spyware. They protect email server from junk mails and hacker. Thease security services are often include anty-virus, intrusion detection, and security event management.

Examples

Harpinder and Harjot The Build Your Private Cloud Infrastructure Design Guide provides you with the information that you need to make informed decisions about the storage, network and compute design decision points to build a cloud infrastructure that meets the requirements of your organization. This guide provides information that you can use to assess Windows Server 2012 platform technologies that enable a cloud-based infrastructure.

Examples

I wrote a computer application to find copied material in students' assignmentsI used it on the assignments handed in. Every one contained plagiarised materialThe examples I showed are just a small faction of the plagiarism that my application found

How Not to Plagiarise

Read lots of different articlesAnalyse and summarise each article in your own words.What did you think was important? What was the main message or idea?Hide the original article so you cannot copy from itWrite the answer down using the knowledge that you learned from reading the articles, and use your summaries to help you remember the main pointsIf you do not learn to do this now, you will not get through your first year at University

Resubmit Your Assignments

Each one of you will resubmit your assessmentYou will apply the expected qualities that a Diploma student must demonstrate:
