Special assessment requirements

In order to pass this unit, students have to obtain at least 50% of the available marks and attempt all assessment pieces.

 

Students who are unable to submit an assignment within a week of the due date, for medical reasons, will be required to submit assignment on a negotiated due date. 

 

No assignments will be accepted for marking after the solution or marked assignments have been returned to the class.

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.

Participation requirements

Studio demonstration will be carried out during class, therefore, student attendance is expected. Students are required to attend formative reviews (please see assessment details for checkpoints dates). Please refer to assessment outlines and unit schedules for all submission key dates (formative and summative). Students will not receive a final grade if requirements for formative checkpoints are not fulfilled. 

Please advise your lecturer in advance if you are unable to attend a particular class or studio.
