Special assessment requirements

Partial final marks will be rounded to the nearest whole. For example:

• less than or equal to 64.49% will be rounded down to 64%
• greater than or equal to 64.50% will be rounded up to 65%

Generative AI

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools such as ChatGPT can aid but should not replace independent thinking. If using genAI tools for the assessment, acknowledge their use using APA-style citations and references which include a shared link to the conversation. Acknowledgement is not required for low-level tasks such as improving spelling, grammar, and quality of written expression.

You are responsible for content you submit. Be aware of limitations of genAI tools such as inaccuracies, biases, and incomplete content. GenAI tools work best for topics you already understand, with carefully crafted prompting based on peer-reviewed research. Refine prompts for better results and fact-check generated content. Despite the risks, genAI tools can aid brainstorming, concept explanation, synthesis of ideas, and improve the readability and quality of written expression.

If you are unsure, post to the discussion forum, so we can all learn together.

For more information, see the detailed genAI guidelines on the UCLearn site.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at ºÚÁÏÍø. 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 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.
