Submission of assessment items

Special assessment requirements

All assessment items must be attempted in order to be eligible to pass this unit.

Extensions must be requested and confirmed BEFORE assessment items are due.

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 in feedback sessions are required for some assessment items (week 5).

Required IT skills

Basic IT skills are required for this unit in order to access the online learning (UCLearn) and to participate in online assessment tasks.

Work placement, internships or practicums

There are no Work Integrated Learning requirements for this unit, however you will be expected to spend time with a tourism or service provider in order to meet the liaison learning outcome.
