Required texts
Books required:

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All written work must adhere to the following guidelines:
Font: Times New Roman 12pt
Line spacing: 1.5
Referencing style should be APA, but a consistent and correct style is necessary. More information on referencing can be found Here: http://canberra.libguides.com/referencing or contact the library or Academic Skills centre http://www.canberra.edu.au/studyskills for hands-on assistance.
All files should be uploaded to Moodle.
All files should be named with your student number and task selected: i.e. u899999task1.doc
No hardcopies are required.
Note that failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in penalties on your assessment items.
We do this not because we like seeing you squirm, but because most organisations (e.g. arts organisations, government funding organisations, literary journals and competitions) have a requirement to submit things in a particular way with the results for not doing so leading to your submission being disregarded out of hand, which you don't want to happen.Consider this practice in getting submissions to the standard that is required, rather than how you think it should look.
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

Additional information
Review of unit results
Appropriate moderation procedures are used in the setting and marking of assessment tasks. When a mark or grade is awarded that places the student in jeopardy of a Fail in the whole unit, more than one member of academic staff will be involved in the decision. The university has a standard procedure to enable students who are dissatisfied with a Fail to seek a review. Students are encouraged, in the first instance, to attempt to resolve matters informally with the individual closest to the source of the grievance. This may mean writing to the staff member whose action or decision has led to the grievance or speaking to the staff member face-to-face. If the grievance is not resolved to the student's satisfaction then, as part of the informal resolution stage, the student should normally approach the relevant unit convener and/or discipline head in an effort to resolve the matter with the staff member concerned. Following that, further action is possible via a formal resolution process. For full details of the procedure and steps you can take please see http://www.canberra.edu.au/seasu/grievance-resolution
