Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
The theory exam will be computer based. It will include both short and long answer questions, therefore, students will be required to type their answers. Students that are unable to type and complete the theory exam on a computer will need to provide the unit conveor with a written Reasonable Adjustment Plan (RAP) stating they require a hand written exam and ask that their RAP be enacted for this assessment piece.
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.
