Special assessment requirements

Information on extensions and special consideration for assessments can be found in the Student Guide to Policies.

Year-Long Units: Students enrolled in year-long units (consisting of a part A and part B unit code) will be allocated a continuing grade (CNTYL) on completion of part A. Once the student has completed part B, the grade for part A will be updated so that the grades for the two unit codes are the same.

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.

Supplementary assessment

Refer to the (Supplementary assessment policy)In the event of a contested failure of the unit, a supplementary assessment will be made available to the student through a request to the unit convenor, following UC policy.

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.

Learner engagement

The amount of time you will need to spend on study in this unit will depend on a number of factors including your prior knowledge, learning skill level and learning style. Nevertheless, in planning your time commitments you should note that for a 3cp unit the total notional workload over the semester or term is assumed to be 150 hours. These hours include time spent in classes. The total workload for units of different credit point value should vary proportionally. For example, for a 6cp unit the total notional workload over a semester or term is assumed to be 300 hours. 

Inclusion and engagement

Students who need assistance in undertaking the unit because of disability or other circumstances should inform their Unit Convener as soon as possible so the necessary arrangements can be made.

Participation requirements

It is expected students attend all lectures and tutorials as per timetable in order to benefit from formative feedback on design development. However, is a student is unable to attend due to prolonged illness; a medical certificate may be presented for consideration.

Required IT skills

Access to a personal laptop would benefit the students during lectures and tutorials. In particular, software requirements are Word, and Adobe Creative Suite with a minimum of Illustrator, In-design and Photoshop available. Computer Labs will be scheduled out of class time for those students who don't have access to a personal computer.

In-unit costs
