Submission of assessment items

Special assessment requirements

To pass the unit, the student must achieve at least 50% of the aggregated marks.

 

Note:

  • Text-matching software will be used for the assessments.
  • All the sources and references used in the essay MUST be in English only.
  • All the assignments MUST be completed in English.
  • Translating materials from another language into English without proper referencing and using them as your own work in an essay can be considered as academic misconduct. For example:

A student uses some materials in another language and uses a translation tool to change the essay into English. Then the student uses some programs/applications/websites to change/modify the translated essay. This kind of practice can be considered as academic misconduct.

  • All the working files (i.e. initial drafts, editing notes) MUST be presented for any inquiry from the teaching staff. 
  • Using AI or similar programs to generate any part of the assignment work will be considered a breach of academic integrity. 

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 expected to attend all the classes as scheduled and complete all assignments and research work that is set down for the unit in a timely manner.
