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
In order to pass this unit, it is most important that students pay close attention to:
- assessment requirements and due dates
- expectations around academic integrity
- engaging diligently with the teaching material
If you are struggling to meet these expectations, you should let your unit convenor know and seek help and support as soon as possible.
Required IT skills
This unit involves an online weekly lecture, delivered in real time via the UCLearn teaching site (which will be recorded for students to access and revisit at a later stage) . By attending the lecture in real time, you will be able to communicate with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone, which will generally be available via your smartphone or webcam camera.
