Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students must complete all components of assessment and achieve 50% overall in order to pass the unit. A deferred examination for the final examination will only be available to students who present a valid doctor's certificate. Re-submission of assessment items will not be allowed.
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
Students are expected to attend programmed face-to-face activities including lectures and tutorials.
Where there are compulsory in-class participation activities, contributions to face-to-face activities are an important measure for assessment of participation.
Marks in this unit are cumulative.
URKUND will be used to check for plagiarism for all assignments. Your assessments must be written in your words and citations used when referencing material from published sources.
One URKUND preview will be available for students to check their assessment prior to submission. Students will only receive an URKUND for one draft submission of their work and again once their assessment have been formally submitted. Do not submit drafts to other Canvas sites, as this will be considered a form of self-plagiarism.
Do not submit any material that has been formally submitted to other units. This is a form of academic misconduct.
