Computer Science homework help. Submission Guidelines:
This assessment task is done in small groups (maximum of 3 students) and you will be required
to work together to apply your knowledge, to analyse research topic. In this assessment you will
write a critique report on an academic paper(s) approved by your lecturer in the field of IT
Security to real world security problems. This will cover the second and the fourth learning
outcomes of the unit. All submissions are to be submitted through turn-it-in. Drop-boxes linked
to turn-it-in will be set up in the Unit of Study Moodle account. Assignments not submitted
through these drop- boxes will not be considered. Submissions must be made by the due date i.e.
Session-9 or Week-9 and time is Friday 4:00 PM.
The turn-it-in similarity score will be used in determining the level if any of plagiarism. Turn-itin will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the Web and your own class member
submissions for plagiarism. You can see your turn-it-in similarity score when you submit your
assignment to the appropriate drop-box. If this is a concern you will have a chance to change
your assignment and re-submit. However, re-submission is only allowed prior to the submission
due date and time. After the due date and time have elapsed you cannot make re-submissions and
you will have to live with the similarity score as there will be no chance for changing. Thus, plan
early and submit early to take advantage of this feature. You can make multiple submissions, but
please remember we only see the last submission, and the date and time you submitted will be
taken from that submission.
Your document should be a single word or pdf document containing your report.

Plagiarism and collusion

VIT will apply heavy penalties if individuals and groups are caught in academic misconduct. VIT
uses sophisticated TURNITIN software built-in the LMS Moodle system for detecting plagiarism
and collusion.
Note: Turnitin is a text-matching software that checks a student’s written work against
electronic texts from the Internet, published works (such as journal articles and books), and
assignments/reports/articles previously submitted to Turnitin or otherwise elsewhere by other
students. So please be warned!
