Required texts
Readings and resources will be made available through the unit's Canvas site.
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.
Participation requirements
Each week, both on-campus and online students will be expected to:
- Work on the online content modules, raising any problems or questions either in the on-campus class or in the online discussion space.
- Work collaboratively in your assigned groups on tasks relating to the class project.
- Report on the progress of your group's work. This will help to coordinate work, prioritise tasks, and solve problems. These reports will be critical to the success of the project.
- Participate in class discussions or activities, either during the on-campus class or in the online discussion space.These will relate to the content modules or group project, and while they will not be directly assessed, they will help you complete your assignments.
Required IT skills
This unit will make use of a range of digital tools and services. You will need access to a computer with a broadband connection.
Instruction will be provided in the use of specialised tools, but you are expected to have a good knowledge of how to access and use the web.
Work placement, internships or practicums
This unit may involve supervised project work in collaboration with an outside organisation and, therefore, additional student responsibilities are required in addition to those described in this section. Work-place learning requires strict adherence to professional practice principles and ethics.
