Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
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 feedback will not be given on late assignments.
Students must attempt all assessment items to be considered for a pass grade. For assessment 3 the reasoning of an extension request will be thoroughly investigated since it is a group assignment. If granted, the group must be willing to present on a day the convener allocate. Without presenting no marks will be awarded for this assignment.
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
Contribution and participation in tutorials contribute to a deeper understanding of the content of the unit and assignment requirements. Assessment 2 requires effective participation in-class. It may be difficult to pass the unit without attending tutorials.
Required IT skills

Work placement, internships or practicums
