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.
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.

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).

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.

- 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.
