Guided - Students will be guided in how GenAI must/may be used in completing the assessment as detailed in the unit outline and assessment instructions. More detailed information can be found at GenAI and Assessment at UC
For the Practical Exam:
GenAI Use Restricted - The use of GenAI is NOT allowed in completing the assessment during the prac exam. More detailed information can be found at GenAI and Assessment a t UC
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
It is the responsibility of the student to interact with the material provided on the Canvas site in relation to the self-directed theoretical elements. Prior to the face to face practical sessions, the expectation is that the material covered in the preceding weeks will have been covered and the pre-reading within the practical will have been completed. Attendance at the face-to-face practical classes is required to complete the relevant assessment items. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their attendance at practical classes is recorded correctly and that they complete the assessment items allocated to classes. Students are required to attend and complete assessment items based on the practical for which they have been allocated. Based on the facilities used and activities undertaken, we have a hard cap on student numbers in the practicals. If students are unable to attend an allocated practical, correspondence with the unit convenor must occur beforehand.
Required IT skills
The use of Canvas, library searching skills, word processing, and creation of training plan templates using database software (i.e. excel) is necessary for this unit. For the programming portfolio, if choosing to do an audio-visual presentation then both audio and visual software will be used in addition to the aformentioned training program presentation software.
