Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Students must complete all assessment items and obtain a mark of 50% or more overall to pass 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
Students in the unit need to demonstrate a high degree of autonomy in their learning approach. There are no formal lectures but the scaffolding guides and associated discussions are recorded as are the workshops held in the virtual room. Meetings with the Industry Partners will occur twice in Term 1 on Zoom. Industry Experts will contribute to our understanding of undertaking aspects of the industry project based on their extensive consulting experience and these will be Zoom recordings uploaded onto the Canvas site. The schedule of workshops are held for students to have the opportunity to provide and seek feedback on their progress with different aspects of their industry project.
