Required texts

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Further to above, information relating to the submission of extension requests will be provided on UCLearn.
Assessment Moderation
Moderation of assessment items will be conducted in accordance with the Faculty of Health Moderation Guidelines.
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.

Work placement, internships or practicums
This unit involves an internship or industry-based project therefore additional student responsibilities are required in addition to those described in this section. Workplace learning requires strict adherence to professional practice principles and ethics. Client/patient confidentiality must always be maintained (see WIL guidelines and the 10120 Student Handbook on UCLearn), including for assessment items such as reports or reflections. The professional nature of this unit also recommends 100% participation at all learning activities (workshops, practicals etc. if scheduled – see Section 3) for the successful completion of this unit (also see Section 6c). If attendance requirements cannot be satisfied (e.g., timetable clash), it is recommended that you meet with your Unit Convener to schedule this unit for a future teaching period.
You must complete WIL Ready: Preparation for Work Integrated Learning prior to commencement of your Placement or Internship/WIL Project. You can self-enrol in this module through the UC Learn site here. You are also required to complete details in InPlace, refer to inplace.canberra.edu.au.
