Required texts
All required readings are provided to students on Canvas.
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
Many assessments are strongly associated with active engagement during tutorials. Therefore, active participation during the tutorial will be a key to succeed in this unit. Please be thorough with the assessments and communicate clearly with the unit convener especially if students experience any challenges.
Required IT skills
Students are expected to be able to access materials on the unit's Canvas site, and competency in PC-based MS operating systems is expected (PowerPoint, Word).
