Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
All Assignments in this unit are graded. In order to pass this unit, all assignments must be submittedm, you must pass all assessment items and an overall mark of 50% or more must be reached.
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
This is a professional training and skills based unit. It is intended that learning in this unit will be interactive and practical. It is presumed therefore that students have made adequate arrangements for attending all teaching-learning sessions (including lectures and tutorials). The Graduate Diploma and Master of Counselling have been designed to meet the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) accreditation requirements, which include 200 hours face to face learning. Attendance at lectures and tutorials is essential in this course as students will not be able to attain and demonstrate, in their assessments, the learning outcomes, unless they attend and fully participate in the workshops and tutorials. In particular, absence from more than two tutorials will seriously jeopardise a student's ability to achieve and demonstrate the set learning outcomes. Students are also required to inform their lecturer/tutors of their absence if unavoidable and to seek consultation.
In addition attendance is required to meet professional accreditation requirements.
Required IT skills
You must be able to word process assessments so that they are well presented, search the library data bases for relevant journal articles and access the UCLearn site. It is the individual student's responsibility to access appropriate help from the university ITC services or the library if he or she does not have adequate skills.
