Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
For assessment items marked as mandatory, each piece of assessment must be completed and submitted, but it is not necessary that students pass each individual item of assessment.
For threshold items, students must complete the assessment item and meet the minimum indicated threshold requirement.
In this unit, the final examination is a threshold requirement. Students must obtain a minimum of 40% in the final exam and 50% overall to 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.
Participation requirements
Refer to section 5 for details.
While attendance at classes is not compulsory, unless it is a condition of your student visa, you are encouraged strongly to attend all tutorials and lectures. You should be prepared for active attendance – note-taking, answering questions, sharing ideas, engaging in classes etc. Listening at home or reading someone else's notes is pedagogically less stimulating than your participation. Students are expected to be on time for classes. All classes will start exactly at the scheduled starting time. Experience indicates that student who does not attend classes have difficulty passing the subject. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all lectures and tutorials and contribute by actively participating.
