Dear Karlene Harvey,

As you know, Walden University considers academic integrity to be essential for each student’s intellectual development and that each student agrees to respect and acknowledge the research and ideas of others and to abide by the rules relating to academic integrity.  In evaluating your FM005 First Assessment submission the Turnitin Similarity has identified a potential issue that relates to academic integrity.  More specifically, the work you submitted to your assessment is more reflective of work from another student (Paper ID: 1119266047).

 

Specifically, your Turnitin (TII) Similarity has identified the following concerns that violate the Walden University Student Handbook, Section 3. Student Expectations and Responsibilities, pages 34 through 40.

1. Your words are too similar to a previous author and you fail to give credit to the author.

a. Student Handbook: Plagiarism (pg. 36). Plagiarism is defined as use of intellectual material produced by another person without acknowledging its source.

2. It appears that you are copying or attempting to copy from others for this assessment

a. Student Handbook: Cheating (pg. 36). Cheating is defined as fraud, deceit, or dishonesty in an academic assignment. It includes using or attempting to use materials, or assisting others in using materials, that are prohibited or inappropriate in the context of the academic assignment in question

From your TII Similarity report there was a 55% match (student papers from 25-Apr-2019)

Class: FM005: Economic Characteristics of the Healthcare Industry

Assignment: FM005 Assessment Submission (Attempt 1)

Paper ID: 1119266047

 

As an example, see your passages colored red in the screen shot below, which are very similar to another student’s paper, Paper ID: 1119266047. 

 

 

It is very important that you provide a detailed response to the information provided in this letter and a comprehensive explanation of the matters I have set forth. I refer you to the policies on academic integrity contained in the Student Conduct and Responsibilities section of the Walden University catalog found online at: catalog.waldenu.edu (Select Handbook from the drop down, then Section 3: Student Expectations and Responsibilities, then Student Conduct and Responsibilities, then Code of Conduct) 

 

Please provide your response to me by email within five (5) business days of the date of this letter, therefore no later than November 18, 2020.  Your response should include any information that explains the procedure you used to complete FM005: Economic Characteristics of the Healthcare Industry, Assessment one (1) as well as your response to the information above. Please understand that this is not an accusation; rather, it is a request for information that provides an explanation. Respond to me directly, to the email address provided below.  

 

Based on the evidence I have presented in this letter, and the response you provide, I will work with our academic leadership to determine how the matter will best be resolved.  

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Sincerely, 

Wendy M. Berry, PhD, Faculty
