Discipline Of Creative And Cultural Practice | Level 2 - Undergraduate Intermediate Unit | Band 2 2021 (Commenced After 1 Jan 2021) Band 2 2021 (Commenced Before 1 Jan 2021) |
The unit aims to introduce the student to working independently as a freelance creative, applying all principles and skills gained from previous core units in a large-scale public work.
This is a unit that promotes occasional academic supervision, rather than routine teacher-led learning and is intended to pave the way towards independent modes of learning which are crucial in the industry and at traditional post graduate academic levels.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Apply discipline specific skills to achieve project outcomes;
2. Evaluate and prioritise tasks and manage time and resources to achieve outcomes;
3. Employ communication skills to summarise ideas and outcomes to various audiences (eg. users, markets and peers) using appropriate modes of communication; and
4. Analyse and evaluate the project experience.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
The submitted assessment must also include the following statements:
I certify that:
• the attached assignment is my own work and no part of this work has been written for me by any other person except where such collaboration has been authorised by the lecturer/s concerned;
• material drawn from other sources has been fully acknowledged as to author/creator, source and other bibliographic details according to unit-specific requirements for referencing; and
• no part of this work has been submitted for assessment in any other unit in this or another Faculty except where authorised by the lecturer/s concerned.
Special assessment requirements
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 should be sought before the due date for an assignment. Extensions will only be given for substantial medical or similar reasons.
Work submitted more than one week after the due date will only be assessed at the lecturer's discretion.
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
Learning will be most effective in this course when students and staff engage face to face: students are therefore expected to attend and actively participate in all lectures and workshops.
If a student misses a lectures or workshops, regardless of the reason, it may negatively impact on their final assessments, due to them having missed important educational information and material. Announcements that are made at lectures, and via class email, are deemed to be made to the whole group.
Required IT skills
Students should have general computing skills in applications such as word, PowerPoint and basic internet search capability
