Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students who achieve an overall mark of at least 50 per cent of the total available marks will pass the unit.
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.
Learner engagement
There are five types of work that you need to consider in the unit: a) Lectures. The lecture material is pre-recorded and 'chunked' into short sections. You should watch, consider, take notes and reflect on each video section; b) Online Module Activities: There are a set of prompt activities online for you to develop your understanding and work on developing relevant skills. Some of these activities require your read and reflect on stimulus material, watch a video or complete an activity or calculation. Some of this will be familiar to you, but we encourage you to set time aside to complete these activities; c) Optional Drop-in sessions: Drop-in sessions are opportunities to perfect your knowledge and skills and are essential for your success in the unit. We would expect and encourage you to attend the optional drop-in sessions. They are 1-hour long and focus on skill and knowledge relevant to the unit. These are opportunities to reflect on lecture material and also to prepare for assessment work and success. d) Further reading and practice: We do not know what you do not know. Thus, you may be expected to read further and complete more study. We have provided links to further materail to support your learning should you want more reinforcement; e) Assignment preparation: You will need to set aside time for assignment work. Success will come to those who take initiative, reach out to your tutors or the unit convener when you are unsure and be prepared to put in the requisite effort. |
