Supplementary assessment
Students are not entitled to a supplementary assessment for any of the assignments in this unit.
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
Active engagement with peers, staff and with the wider community will be a key element of this unit.
Participation requirements
Attendance at the Intensive in Week 14 of Semester 1 is compulsory.
Students must ensure that they are able to attend a minimum of 80% of workshops in person or in real time online (6 of the 7). This requirement is for accreditation purposes to ensure that students have sufficient opportunities for developing the clinical and professional competencies required to succeed on future clinical placements.
Required IT skills
This unit involves online meetings in real time using the Blackboard Collaborate tool. Blackboard Collaborate provides a virtual classroom or meeting room where you can 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, please visit the LearnOnline Student Help and click on the link to Blackboard Collaborate.
Students are also encouraged to explore other online meeting platforms for student consultations with staff, as well as phone/computer apps that enable face to face contact over distance. Managing 'connection' in real time will increasingly become the responsibility of the student - as part of building capacity to use technology wisely in future clinical practice. Students should make time to be clear about the ways in which the relevant platforms work for face-to-face interaction and, where possible, for document and video sharing. In addition, students should be mindful that they are entering a 'professional' zone when they are engaging in professionally relevant activities online with peers and staff, and should consider the context in which they use the online space, as well as ensuring that they have adequate resources [headphones/microphones etc] to complete professionally relevant activities.
In-unit costs
Students will be required to pay for the required pre-placement checks and also travel to and from placement sites.
Work placement, internships or practicums
This unit involves three single day observations. Therefore, additional student responsibilities are required. Work-place learning requires strict adherence to professional practice principles and ethics. Client/patient confidentiality must always be maintained, including for assessment items such as reports or essays. Students must have a working with vulnerable people check (or state equivalent) and a National Criminal History Check. Students must be compliant with all placement requirements, including immunisations, in order to receive their allocations.
