Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students will be required to conduct research and cite the academic sources.
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
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.
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.
