Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Students must complete all assessment items to be considered for a pass grade.
Late submissions
Late submissions 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 after 7 days late will not be accepted.
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. Extension requests must be supported by documentary evidence and must be submitted to the unit convener before the due date. If approved, students must attach a copy of this approval to the assignment upon submission. The assessment extension form can be found in Moodle. 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.
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. It may be difficult to pass the unit without attending tutorials.
Required IT skills
Students are expected to be able to access materials on the unit's Canvas page, and competency in PC based MS operating systems is expected (PowerPoint, Word).
Work placement, internships or practicums
None
Additional information
Enrolment
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in each unit and that the units are correct for their course of study. Students should confirm their unit enrolment details via MyUC before the end of Week 2.
Moderation
Moderation of final results is practiced to ensure the maintenance and uniformity of consistent standards.
Schedule
The Unit Convenor reserves the right to vary the lecture and tutorial schedule to take timely advantage of an advertising event, field trip opportunity or guest speaker. Notice of such variation will be made through Moodle announcement.
Referencing requirements
The standard practice of using referencing systems such as Harvard or the American Psychological Association (APS – 5th or 6th edition) Style Manual is preferred.
Student responsibility
If there is any doubt on the requirements of any particular assignment or assessment procedure, the onus of clarification rests with the student who should contact the lecturer about the matter. Students have a responsibility to:
- read, understand and respect the rules concerning plagiarism;
- familiarise themselves with the conventions of referencing in their discipline; and avoid all acts, which could be considered plagiarism. Refer to the Academic Skills Centre for more information.
Provision of information
Announcements made at lectures are deemed to be made to the whole group and will be recorded in that lecture. Recorded lectures will be available on the Moodle site of this unit.
