Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

In addition to formal presentation, all assessment items will be submitted online via the Unit Canvas site.

Supplementary assessment

REFER TO THE UC SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENT POLICY

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

To achieve high quality design work, students are encouraged to attend weekly studio and participate in the studio culture.

Required IT skills

Advanced IT skills are required to facilitate iterative advanced architectural studio submission and presentation.

In-unit costs

Materials and equipment needed to undertake advanced architecture studio projects, such as drawing, printing, and model making all of which will have some associated costs and are the responsibility of each individual student.

Work placement, internships or practicums

Work-integrated-learning (WIL) is integrated in to this unit through linkage and support with professional, industry or government partner/s to undertake a specific project in design or research. The unit provides students with an opportunity to apply theory to practice and to further develop the skills and knowledge they have gained as part of their course.

Additional information

Artificial intelligence. A student must not use artificial intelligence platforms and services in the preparation and completion of assessment except as permitted in the Academic Integrity Procedure (refer to Clause 3.9) or documented in a Reasonable Adjustement Plan.

Integrity: Academic and research integrity are fundamental to all activities and in the preparation of assessment items in particular.

Additional information, including assignment and submission requirements, may be provided in separate handouts in the unit Canvas sitle. Reading and complying with this information and instruction is a requirement for students enrolled in this unit.
Announcements: Announcements made during studios, seminars, or lectures, or sent to your University of Canberra student email address, will be deemed to have been made to the whole group. Students are responsible for regularly checking their UC student email.
Consultation with Staff: Contact with teaching 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 tutorial or consultation time.
Please note: staff are not able to return calls to long-distance or mobile telephone numbers after normal hours or on weekends or holidays. Emails are normally not checked or answered at nights, on weekends, or on public holidays.
Teaching staff (and particularly sessional staff) may not be able to attend to phone calls or reply to emails immediately. Please ensure any urgent matters are brought to their attention within the studio session or request assistance in notifying the Convener through the Administrative Assistant for the Course.

Retained Work: Due to the requirements of professional accreditation, some samples of student work in semester 2 2024 will be retained and stored at the School for periods of up to three years. Where possible, 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: Architecture students, are expected to take responsibility for their work. In the context of the design studios, this is considered to include both submitting the work on time, and collecting it following assessment. Collection times will be advised for submissions where appropriate. Where a project/assignment is not collected by that time, the project is subject to a 5% grade penalty. The project may be discarded without further notice. 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.
End of Semester Clean Up
Studios are to be cleared of work and generally cleaned up at the end of each semester. Projects not removed by the advertised date may be discarded without further notice.
