Required texts
There is no set text for this unit.
Additional readings and resources are available in the unit Canvas site and the University of Canberra Library. (You may access UC library resources using student ID).
Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students must complete all assessment items to be considered for a pass grade. The unit pass mark is 50%.
Late submissions
Late submission of assignments without an approved extension will result in a penalty of 5% reduced marks from the total available, per calendar day late. An assignment submitted over 7 days late (without an approved extension) will not be accepted. Note that a weekend will count as 2 days and a long-weekend as 3 days.
Extensions
Students can apply for an extension to the due date for submission of an assessment item on the grounds of illness or other unavoidable and verifiable personal circumstances. Requests will require documentary evidence and must be submitted to the Unit Convenor, before the due date. Please note original copies of documentary evidence are required. Please be aware that a random selection of documentary evidence may be checked for authenticity.
Students should apply before the due submission date and, are advised to do so as early as possible. The Unit Convenor will decide whether to grant an extension and the length of the extension. An extension will not be granted on the grounds of academic or employment workload.
Students granted an extension should be made aware that the extension may result in delays in receiving grades on assignments, and/or course completion, and/or graduation. Detailed comments will not be given on late assignments.
Supplementary assessment
As a general rule, failed assignments may not be resubmitted. However, students who are taking Advanced Marketing Communication Theory PG in their final semester of study, and who fail the unit with a final mark between 45-49% may be offered supplementary assessment after consultation with the Unit Convenor.
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
Participation in class discussion forums contributes to an understanding of the material, therefore active participation is highly recommended. Students who consistently miss contributing to discussion forums will be at a disadvantage in terms of information, learning, assessment and feedback and may find it hard to pass the unit.
Required IT skills
Minimal: basic word-processing skills would be useful; you will also need to be able to make effective use of both the internet, and the library's databases and e-journals for research purposes. You are also required to be familiar with Canvas: how to access it, knowledge on how to contribute to discussion forums, how to download files from and upload files to Canvas is assumed. (See section 4b for details on how to seek assistance.)
In-unit costs
There is no textbook in this unit but it is assumed that students have internet access and a printer in order to access readings on unit Canvas site. Costs for these are the students' responsibility. Any additional research costs pertaining to the project are to be borne by the student.
Work placement, internships or practicums
Advanced Marketing Communication Theory PG supports Work Integrated Learning principles. Effort is made within the unit to replicate professional practice approaches. This is done through the online setting, assessments and communication delivery. Students are encouraged to demonstrate professional behaviour including professional practice principles and ethics. There are no internships or work placements as part of this unit.
