Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Submission of Work. All work must be completed and submitted by the due date. Work submitted after the due date will only be assessed on a pass or fail basis and without comments, unless an extension has been given. Extensions will not be given automatically on application.
Work submitted more than one week after the due date will only be assessed at the lecturer's discretion and the pass or fail mark might be subject to an additional ten percent downgrade.
Extensions will only be given for substantial medical or similar reasons. Workload pressures from other units, or outside employment, are not valid reasons for an extension. Participants must request an extension at least two days before the due date and state the reason for the extension, and the length of the extension sought. If an extension is given work must be submitted by the extension date. Work submitted after the agreed extension date will not be assessed and will receive an automatic fail. Extensions will not be given automatically on application.
Please note that even if an extension is given students are still required to submit their work-in-progress by the original due date of the assignment. Considering the amount of time students will have had to complete their work, the work-in-progress that is submitted is expected to be substantial. If a student who has been given an extension does not submit their work-in-progress by the original due date of the assignment then the extension will be automatically withdrawn, and normal assessment guidelines will apply.

Supplementary assessment
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
Students are expected to attend and actively participate in all timetabled activities. If a student misses a seminar regardless of reason, it may negatively impact upon their final assessment, due to them having missed important educational information and material. Announcements that are made at seminars, and via class email, are deemed to be made to the whole group.
As well as time tabled activities students are expected to engage with the unit for a further 8 hours per week during semester outside timetabled class time.
Required IT skills
Students are expected to have IT skills compatible with a pass in 8121 Intro to Media Production and to either be currently enrolled in 8120 Editing Sound and Image or to have video editing skills.
