Submission of assessment items

For this unit, you will be required to use Harvard style referencing style (see examples below). For further detail, see http://canberra.libguides.com/referencing/harvard
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.
Late Penalties, Extensions, and other Assessment Requirements
Late submissions are subject to a penalty of 5% per day late, which is the penalty imposed across the university. This is for fairness to students, and to allow the teaching staff to mark assessment and provide timely feedback.
Assessment items will only be accepted up 7 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted. This is to encourage timely submission, and to facilitate timely feedback.
Extensions will be granted where you have made a reasonable effort to meet the deadline but have been prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond your control. Extensions must be obtained in writing from the unit convener before the due date.
