I would be wary about reducing the range of penalties. The circumstances could be anything from letting a student look at some work to see the sort of thing that's required (especially if it got a decent mark) to explicitly offering a previous piece of work for sale... ie anything from naivety to a business model. Proving which may be difficult.

The better approach would be to ensure that the assessments preclude the possibility of this sort of thing arising in the first place (ie design it out, rather than regulate it out).

My view is that the L6 student is culpable and should be penalised. But
I do not think they should lose their credits as the work they submitted
was their own. Perhaps this is a case for a fine of some sort rather
than an academic penalty.

Subject: Collusion definitions and penalties

Dear Colleagues

We are currently completing our annual review of our Procedures relating
to student academic misconduct and we have been pondering our collusion
definition.   Currently it reads:

"Where the student/s knowlingly or negligently allows their work to be
incorporated in, or represented as, the work of another student; or, the
collaboration without official approval between two or more students in
the presentation of work, which is submitted as the work of a single
student."

This year we have seen a case where the collusion took place with a
student on Level 5 but the "copied" work was from a Level 6 student who
had already passed the unit and then lent their copy  to the Level 5
student.  Currently we would give them the same penalty and the Level 6
student would have to resit the work and lose the previously gained
credits.    

We are considering changing this to either not include the higher level
student, as they would not be gaining extra credit, or making the
penalty more leniant and wondered how our other colleagues deal with
this in their institutions.  

Once I have received replies I will collate the answers and re-post
them.

Many thanks

Claire Hughes, Student Conduct, Complaints and Appeals Team, Academic
Services, Southampton Solent University.
