Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Please note that this unit does not apply the 5% penalty per day; please see the special assessment items below for details.
Special assessment requirements
Resubmission
This unit has substantial opportunities for feedback and self-assessment, and so students who have fully participated in the unit activities are unlikely to fail. In some cases, resubmission of a failed assignment will be possible if the assessment item can feasibly be brought up to a pass level. A typical example might be an assignment that fails due to a missing component that can readily be supplied in a resubmission. The maximum grade for a resubmitted assessment item is 50%. Resubmissions are given at the discretion of the unit convenor and must be applied for in writing (via email) within one week of the assessment grade being released.
Extensions
All extensions must be applied for in writing to the unit convenor no less than three days before the due date of the assignment, and preferably well before this.
Extension requests should state the reason the extension is being requested (unless the basis for an extension is part of adjustment advice from inclusion and welfare), and provide a proposed submission date. Students should not assume an extension will be automatically granted.
Late Penalties
In this unit, we encourage you to be proactive about your work, to recognise early if you are not going to be able to meet a deadline and to negotiate an extension if necessary. We feel this is a much more authentic approach to dealing with deadlines. As a result, this unit does not apply a penalty of 5% per day and instead applies a pass/fail policy on late assignments.
Late assignments are assignments that are handed in after the due date and time or after an agreed extension date. Assignments submitted less than seven days late will be marked on a pass/fail basis (maximum grade of pass, 50%) and will not be provided with any written feedback. This provides a strong incentive to get it in on time or negotiate an extension. Assignments that are more than one week late will be deemed to have not been submitted and will receive a non-complete (NC) grade.
This policy is designed to encourage students to take ownership of their work and time commitments, while also allowing for some flexibility. We feel it is far better (and more typical of real work conditions) to seek an extension well before the due date than to hand in a late assignment. We appreciate that there needs to be some flexibility, but we expect all students to manage their time and to keep their tutors informed of any issues with their progress.
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 tutorials follow a design studio structure, where formative feedback is given on assessment items, therefore attendance within the tutorial times is crucial to succeeding in this unit.
Participation requirements
Students who attend campus for class or other purposes must play their part in keeping our campus and community safe by following these basic guidelines to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission:

- Practise effective physical distancing;
- Follow all directions of teaching and other UC staff regarding safety measures;
- Stay off campus if you are unwell and get tested according to ACT Government guidelines, and

Students must already have some knowledge of javascript, HTML and CSS as previously taught in 11055 and 11056.
This is a practical unit; students must write their own code.
This unit may involve meetings in real-time using the Virtual Room in UCLearn or Zoom. To participate in these you will need a microphone and ideally, a camera. More information will be available on UC Learn (Canvas).
