Required texts
Required Textbook:
Anthony Best, Jussi M. Hanhimäki, Joseph A. Maiolo, Kirsten E. Schulze, International History of the Twentieth Century and Beyond (Third Edition), (Routledge, 2015).
The textbook is currently available from the Co-op bookshop (Used and New), and there are multiple copies on short loan in the library.
Other materials will be supplied on the canvas website.
Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Both a hard-copy and an electronic copy must be submitted of all Assessment Items, the former to your tutor's pigeon hole at the top of the stairs in Bldg 20, Box 41 and the latter via the relevant moodle drop box.
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.
