Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Unlike other disciplines, the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) component of studying midwifery continues alongside the academic semester and this work can be complex, demanding and unpredictable. Therefore, students can use WIL as circumstances to apply for an extension to an assessment item due date using the assignment extension form available from the Student Forms page and the Canvas site. Unit convenors can use their discretion to approve an extension of one week on these grounds and may audit Daisy documentation as evidence to support the extension.
Special assessment requirements
Presentation: 1.5 line spacing for written assignments, single spacing for tables.
Written assessments should be submitted with a cover sheet including their student number, class details and word count. No names should be included on assignment submissions to enable blind marking.
Referencing requirements: Students must use APA 7th method of referencing throughout their assignments.
The following useful resource on referencing is available at: http://www.canberra.edu.au/library/research-gateway/research_help/referencing-guides.
Please note: Artificail Intelligence Services are not to be used for assessment preperation in this unit.
Supplementary assessment
Nil offered
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
Attendance at classes is compulsory in this course, as per the Bachelor of Midwifery curriculum approved by ANMAC in 2018.
