Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Learner engagement
The students will participate in various learning activities such as lectures, tutorials and self-directed learning. The students' learning will be complimented by the UCLearn Online (Canvas) platform. There will be 2 hours of lectures and 1.5 hour of tutorials (repeated) per week during the semester. Apart from the lectures and tutorials, students are required to engage in at least 4 hours of independent, self-directed learning per week.
Participation requirements
It is recommended for students to attend and participate in and complete the tutorials for Imaging Pathology G (10036). The lectures will be recorded and will be accessible through the UCLearn Online (Canvas) Platform. Cumulative grade of 50% or greater is required to pass the unit.
In accordance with current professional accreditation requirements, to demonstrate you have met the learning outcomes of this unit it is expected that you attempt all elements of assessment to a reasonable standard.

Required IT skills
Basic IT Skills are required for this unit.
This unit may involve online lectures in real time using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
