Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Late submission of the research paper without an approved extension will result in a penalty of 10% reduced marks from the total available, per calendar day late. Research paper submitted over 3 days late will not be accepted.
Special assessment requirements
- An aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit.
- The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes.
- Late submission of quiz is not allowed.
Details of each assessment item
An overall mark is calculated as a sum of marks obtained for the items listed in 5(a).
The grade requirements are then
| Grade |

The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes.
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.
