Required texts
Texts, readings and other reference material will be identified or provided during lectures or posted on the Canvas site.
Students are expected to undertake self-directed research and sourcing of reference material as required for each project.
Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Non Conforming Submissions of Assessment Items
Submissions that do not meet the specified content, format or other requirements will be penalised through a reduction in the grade.
Special Consideration
If circumstances beyond your control prevent you from submitting your assignment on the assigned date or attending an examination, notify your Unit Convener at the time they occur. You can apply for an extension due to illness or other unavoidable and verifiable personal circumstances. Supporting documentation is normally required. Doctor's or Counsellor's Certificates, dated at the time of the difficulty, will be accepted as grounds for Special Consideration.
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
Attendance at lectures, presentations, tutorial studio work, and scheduled site visits/field trips is essential to ensure that you complete your required work on-time, develop a good understanding of the subject matter and can engage effectively with lecturers, presenters and other students.
Required IT skills
Students are expected to have advanced CAD (Revit, ArchiCad, Vectorworks, Rhino or similar) and modelmaking skills to prepare the design and written assignments and to source reference material.
In-unit costs
A detailed facade model is a required submission element for Assessment 3: Resolution. Students should ensure they plan their work in a timely manner to avoid any unnecessary costs associated with expedited production.
Work placement, internships or practicums
None
Additional information
Additional information, including assignment and submission requirements, will be provided in separate handouts and through announcements on Canvas. Reading and complying with this information and instruction is a requirement for students enrolled in this unit.
Announcements
Announcements made during lectures, or posted on the Canvas site, will be deemed to have been made to the whole group. Students are responsible for regularly checking their UC
student email for individual emails that the Unit Convener may decide to send.
Consultation with Staff
Contact with staff should generally be within the allocated class times. Consultation outside of these hours shall be by prior appointment, and in addition to, not in lieu of, the scheduled class time. Students who fail to attend classes, and who do not have a medical or Counsellor's certificate or other genuine reason for missing classes, should not expect additional class or consultation time. Please note: staff are not able to return calls after normal hours or on weekends or holidays. Emails are normally not checked or answered at nights, on weekends or on public holidays.
Retained Work
Due to the requirements of professional accreditation samples of student work will be retained and stored at the School for periods of up to three years. Each student should make a copy of any assignment (prior to submission) as that work may be retained and inaccessible thereafter.
Late Collection of Assignments
Architects, and architecture students, are expected to take responsibility for their work. Collection times will be advised for submissions where appropriate. Where a project/assignment is not collected by that time it may be discarded without further notice and a Grade Penalty will be applied. This penalty will not apply when prior arrangements have been made with the Unit Convener, or when the work is being retained, such as for accreditation
