Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Unless stated otherwise: 

all assessments should by submitted as MS Word document only. 

The essays must also include the standard UC essay cover page with a declaration along the following lines:

By submitting this piece of work I declare that:

1. All work submitted is my own work and is referenced appropriately;
2. All direct quotes are identified appropriately;
3. I have not previously submitted all or part of this work for assessment in any unit at any university;
4. I may be subject to student discipline processes in the event of an act of academic misconduct by me including an act of plagiarism

Use of AI is not permitted in this unit.

 The University's position is that artificial intelligence services must not be used for assessment or assessment preparation by students unless explicitly allowed in the assessment instructions for an assessment task published with the assessment task and/or in the unit outline. That is, an AI service may only be used if:

 a) its use is authorised by the unit convener as part of the specified task; and

b) it is used in the way allowed in the assessment instructions and/or unit outline; and

c) its use is appropriately referenced, meaning that the students must reference the use of AI in their assessment in the same way as they reference other source material.

 The use of AI has not been specified in the assessment instructions for the unit or in the unit outline and thus, AI is not a permissible resource.

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

Participation requirements

This unit will be delivered in an asynchronous manner for those who wish to study this way, however, students should note that there is no reduction in the amount of time required to study this unit. Not attending tutorials will require extra reading/use of other resources to bolster your learning. Live tutorials will be offered each week for those who wish to attend.

Required IT skills

This unit involves online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.

Work placement, internships or practicums

This unit may require you to interact with industry professionals. Otherwise, any WIL is simulated.
