Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

For clarification, one (1) minute past the specified due date and time is considered a late submission.

It is students' responsibility to be familiar with the electronic submission process (eg. the use of Canvas and URKUND). Students are reminded to ensure they plan well ahead by enabling adequate time to submit assessments prior to the deadline, in order to avoid a mark adjustment. If you are concerned about the stability and reliability of your internet connection, it is recommended you use a student computer in the library when completing quizzes.

Online Quizzes

Students who do not attempt a quiz by the due date will forfeit any marks and receive zero for that quiz. Any quizzes in progress at the due time will be automatically submitted. Students should ensure they begin their quiz attempt with sufficient time to complete it prior to the due time.

Moderation of assessments

Please note that all assessments will be moderated as outlined in the Moderation Policy found on the Canvas page.

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.

Participation requirements

This unit will be taught completely online, and while there are no face-to-face lectures, workshops will be delivered live and online using the Virtual Room on Canvas. It is expected that students will actively engage with the recorded lessons, the practical analysis activities, required readings, discussion forums and other provided resources to get the most out of this unit.

Required IT skills

It is expected that students will possess UC IT entry skills, allowing them to access the unit's Canvas site, and join a Microsoft Teams meeting. It is also assumed that students have an understanding of how to download and install software onto their computer. It is assumed students have a basic understanding of programming environments (e.g. R, Python), however introductory material and resources for R will also be provided on the Canvas site. It is expected that students will be familiar with video presentation software (e.g. Microsoft Powerpoint).
