Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Physical and Digital Submissions Both Required for Assessment: Both physical and digital versions of assignments are to be submitted on-time and at the required location for the assignment to be graded. If one or both of the submissions are not made for each assignment, it will not be graded. Assignments may be retained for accreditation purposes so please back up your work.
Plagiarism or Copying of Graphic Material: Please note that penalties apply for plagiarism of graphic material. While collaborations are encouraged on individual assignments, please note that all submissions for those assignments must be unique, or else it will be considered as plagiarism or copying and reported to the Faculty for further action. Penalties can be harsh. If in doubt, please discuss this with the Unit Convenor.
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
Students are required to bring hard copies on paper of work in progress for discussion and review at tutorials - reviewing drawings on computer screens alone is not acceptable. Plese note that attendence at tutorials must be allowed to complete Assessments 1 and 2, and that these two assignments require all of the alloted time to be completed successfully. Any final submissions of work that has not previously been diccussed or reviewed with the tutors over the semester will be considered as a fail.
Required IT skills
Dedicated drafting programs such as Autocad, Rvit, Archicad are acceptable. Hand drawn approaches that conform to the requirements of technical drawing standards are also acceptable. Additional assistance for those who wish to hand-draw their assignments is available upon request.
PLEASE NOTE: Drawing in graphic programs (such as Photoshop or Illustrator), and design programs (such as Sketchup) is strictly not acceptable.
