Required texts

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
Please note that submission of all assignments is a condition for succesfully completing the unit.
Attendance at lectures and workshops, while desirable is not mandatory. Lectures will be taped.
Workshops and Seminars will not be taped (the interactive nature of these sessions limits the useful recording of these sessions)
Required IT skills
Students are assumed to have basic IT skills such as word processing, use of e-mail and be able to access subject information and research databases.
Please note it is the responsibility of the student to communicate via email with the Unit Convenor through the UC student email address only. This eliminates the likelihood of external emails being blocked by the University IT filters and not reaching the recipient. All communications from the Unit Convenor will be sent to your student email address, so you are required to check this on a regular basis.
