Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
To pass the unit all assessment items must be attempted and students must not miss more than one laboratory class for the semester.
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.
Learner engagement
The 150 hours in this unit will include 34 hours of face to face time, consisting of 10 hours of workshops, 18 hours of laboratory classes and 6 hours of tutorial classes (noting that workshops and tutorials will be recorded). In addition to this there will aopproximately 35 hours of reading and 12 hours of concept videos that will be completed outside of scheduled classes. The remaining 69 hours are to be used for the preparing for and undertaking the assessment tasks. Time used for assessment tasks should be allocated based on the relative weighting of the assessment tasks.
Participation requirements
Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. Any student missing a laboratory class must provide appropriate documentation. As laboratory skills are an important component of the learning in this unit any student missing more than one lab will not progress through the unit (regardless of documentation provided).
Required IT skills
Students will require familiarity with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
Work placement, internships or practicums
None
