Academic integrity

Learn from the standard, not the wording

These examples are useful for understanding structure, analysis and presentation. Your own IA must still be original.

Do

  • Study the structure and organization
  • Analyze how economic theory is applied
  • Observe diagram usage and explanations
  • Note how key concepts are integrated
  • Learn from evaluation techniques

Don't

  • Copy any content directly
  • Reuse the same articles or data
  • Replicate the exact analysis
  • Submit similar work as your own
  • Ignore the context of your own article
The best approach is to understand what strong IA work looks like, then build your own original analysis around your own article.
