Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students who attempt all the compulsory assessment items, amass at least 50 percent of marks overall.
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.
Use of AI is not permitted in this unit
The University's position is that artificial intelligence services must not be used for assessment or assessment preparation by students unless explicitly allowed in the assessment instructions for an assessment task published with the assessment task and/or in the unit outline. That is, an AI service may only be used if:
a) its use is authorised by the unit convener as part of the specified task; and
b) it is used in the way allowed in the assessment instructions and/or unit outline; and
c) its use is appropriately referenced, meaning that the students must reference the use of AI in their assessment in the same way as they reference other source material.
The use of AI has not been specified in the assessment instructions for the unit or in the unit outline and thus, AI is not a permissible resource.
Participation requirements
Active engagement in all online modules enhances your learning and is strongly advised. Unless specifically stated in the unit outline, there is no mandatory attendance requirement. However, you may elect to attend timetabled activities, as they allow you to ask 'real time' questions to develop your understanding for the relevant assessment tasks.
As per the University's policy students are expected to be available for all assessment items held during the semester, including the examination period.
