What do we mean by 'making false claims'?

Making false claims is also considered to be a form of academic dishonesty. 

Examples include:

• Misrepresenting your results
• Changing or omitting data to fit a preferred outcome or particular theory
• Making up data
• Making up references
• Pretending to be sick to avoid an exam or assessment
• Getting someone to impersonate you in an exam
• Getting someone to write your assignment but submitting it under your own name.
