Before typing your answer please add the following information on the first page:  Student Name:  Student ID:  Course Name/Code:  Assignment Question:  Attempt Count: (1 or 2) [Type 1 if it is your first attempt. Type 2 if you are uploading a revised version of your assignment after checking the plagiarism percentage.] 2. Please upload as a Word Document only; do not make a PDF file and upload it as this hampers grading and giving comments on your work.

3. Before you upload, you should suffix your name to the file name along with the course code and your attempt count. E.g., if a student is uploading AQD 101 assignment for the first time, then the file name should be as follows: AQD101_FirstName_1 4. Students who wish to re-submit their assignments are requested to re-upload their assignment files and change the attempt count. For example if the file name was AQD101_firstname_1, you may rename it as AQD101_FirstName_2. Assignments re-uploaded with the same file name as the original file will not be scanned well by the VeriCite system resulting in the same similarity index value instead of reflecting the new percentage. After you re-upload (which is your second attempt), please also email your course faculty, informing them about it so that they can verify and grade your work accordingly. Page 3 of 5 Important Instructions Regarding the Second Attempt 1. Please note that when you first upload your assignment file, it is saved in “draft” mode. To “submit,” you must press the Submit button. If you forget to submit by not clicking on the Submit button, the file will remain in “draft” mode and will not be considered for grading. Hence, note this point seriously and proceed accordingly. 2. As soon as you have clicked on the Submit button, your first attempt has been utilized. Your plagiarism score will be available within 24 hours in the same page, in sha Allah.

From the time you submit the first attempt, you have exactly 5 days to review your plagiarism percentage and re-upload your revised assignment file following the steps mentioned above in point 1. Failure to do this will result in missing your opportunity to utilize the second attempt. Please note that the countdown displaying the remaining time will appear on your assignment page. 3. When you avail your second attempt count, the uploaded file will again appear in “draft” mode. Please ensure to click the Submit button to submit your newly uploaded file. Otherwise the file will remain in “draft” mode and will not be considered for grading.

Please read and understand this policy in details before attempting any assignments at IOU. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “He who deceives us is not one of us.” (Saheeh Muslim) Definition of Plagiarism: A common form of deception in studies is plagiarism. Plagiarism is sometimes misunderstood to refer to copying alone; however, plagiarism is much deeper than just copying. It includes quoting without proper references, collaboration, and stealing other people’s ideas while passing them off as one’s own. Plagiarism is the “failure to acknowledge the ideas or writing of another” or “presentation of the ideas or writing of another as one’s own” and should be read to cover intentional and unintentional failure to acknowledge the ideas of others. In this context “others” means any other person including a student, academic, professional, published author or other resource such as the Internet.

The Islamic Online University believes that failing to acknowledge the use of ideas of others constitutes an important breach of Islamic and academic values and conventions of the institution. IOU Stance on Plagiarism The Islamic Online University will not tolerate plagiarism in any form, and any student caught plagiarizing will be penalized. Depending on the severity of the plagiarism, the penalty could range from reduction of marks to rejection of the paper itself. With respect to the assignments, the following constitutes plagiarism: 1) Copying someone else’s assignment 2) Collaboration and working together on an assignment 3) Copying and Pasting entire articles of the internet 4) Quoting someone else’s work without referencing the author 5) Using someone else’s ideas or words without referencing them To avoid plagiarism, be sure to:  Use quotation marks around a quote and cite the source.

 Reference all quotations and citations  Reword/paraphrase. Don’t write word for word what you have read. Take notes first in your own words, then write your assignment from your notes (not the text).

The similarity indicator provides a rating of how similar text in the assignment is to resources available on the Internet. In line with universal academic writing practices, IOU prefers that text be paraphrased in the words of the student and not quoted directly, with the original author of the knowledge being duly cited and referenced. As a University-wide norm, IOU recommends that the similarity indicator does not exceed 20%. Result of Plagiarism Assignments that contain a rating higher than 50% will be automatically rejected and validated for plagiarism with a manual check by the tutorial assistant or relevant academic. The student will be given a grade of 0 and there will be no second chances for submitting the assignment. The Tutorial Assistant or relevant academic will use the similarity rating in determining the final grade of the submission. Remember that we are Muslims studying Allah’s religion, and so plagiarizing in Islamic Studies is a sin and can rob your studies of reward. May Allah bless you all with success with your coursework. Ameen. IOU Admin.
