Submission of assessment items

Special assessment requirements

Students who submit all pieces of assessment, achieve an overall mark of 50% and a minimum of 40% in the final exam will pass the unit.

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.

Participation requirements

Participation is not required.  However, evidence strongly suggests that students who attend lectures and tutorials and prepare for tutorials do extremely well in this unit than those who do not and do extremely poor performance.

Required IT skills

None

Work placement, internships or practicums

None
