Required texts
There is no text book as such for this unit. Reading and viewing materials are available on the unit Canvas site. None of these readings are very long. You're required to read them all as part of preparation for each class. That way we can devote classes to the practical application of the reading/viewing content.
You're also strongly encouraged to read the UC Book of the Year, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick as it will be referenced in classes and may offer potential ideas/themes for the Variety Show assessment task.
Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
You must participate in, complete and achieve at least a Pass grade in all three assessment tasks to gain an overall pass grade in the unit.
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.
