Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
All assessments need to be attempted to pass the unit.
Please note this means you need to 'attempt' all assessments. There is no requirement to pass all assessments. If the unit total is above 50% after attempting all assessments, you have passed the unit.
However, if your total for the unit is above 50%, by attempting only two assessments, you will NOT be eligible to pass the unit.
Academic integrity
Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.
To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.
Use of Text-Matching Software
The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
Participation requirements
Contribution and punctual appearance for tutorials will contribute to a deeper understanding of the unit content and assignment success. It may be difficult to succeed in this unit if there is a lack of engagement.
ONLINE TUTORIAL
Students will require a working mic and webcamera during online tutorials.
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). Navigate through Zoom and ensuring their audio/video settings are working.
Work placement, internships or practicums
None

Enrolment

Moderation

Schedule
The Unit Convener reserves the right to vary the lecture and tutorial schedule if another important work matter arises. Notice of such variation will be made through the Canvas announcement.
Student responsibility
Suppose there is any doubt about the requirements of any particular assignment or assessment procedure. In that case, the onus of clarification rests with the student who should contact the convener about the matter. Students have a responsibility to:
- read, understand and respect the rules set for this unit;
- familiarise themselves with the conventions of referencing in their discipline, and avoid all acts which could be considered plagiarism. Refer to the Academic Skills Centre for more information.
