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.

Student responsibility

Learner engagement

Students in the unit need to demonstrate a high degree of autonomy in their learning approach.

Some industry partners have recorded an introduction to their project topics. Industry Experts will contribute to our understanding of undertaking aspects of the industry project based on their extensive consulting experience and these are accessible from the Unit canvas site. The workshops are held for students to have the opportunity to provide and seek feedback on their progress with different aspects of their industry project.

Participation requirements

Students will work either independently or as part of a small teams of two but only on the Industry Project Report. The rest of the assessment tasks must be undertaken individually.
