Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Assessment Task 3 - "Oral Presentation" will be presented orally in a forum appropriate to the research project. It will be marked live but recorded for moderation purposes.
Special assessment requirements
The due dates of assignments should be negotiated with the relevant supervisor as different projects may have different requirements. For example, if the student is planning to submit a grant application to a funding body.
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
Students should regularly liaise with their Honours supervisor and/or the Unit Convener to discuss their workload management.
Participation requirements
Students are required to be self-directed in pursuing their research project. While the supervisors will provide support, advice and direction, it is the student's responsibility to remain focused on the project.
Please refer to the Occupational Therapy Honours Information Booklet for information on the roles of supervisors.
Required IT skills
Students will require advanced IT skills to:
- Search for relevant literature and information pertinent to the project
- Complete templated forms and applications

Work placement, internships or practicums
This unit may require students to undertake experiences in the practice context in order to successfully complete their research. Where this is required, organisation-specific requirements may need to be met prior to work site visits. The Course Convener will provide advice and instruction in this regard.
