Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
The use of AI is not permitted in this unit.
The University's position is that students must not use artificial intelligence services for assessment or assessment preparation 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) the unit convener authorises its use 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 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.
Special assessment requirements
In order to pass this unit, students have to obtain at least 50% of the overall unit mark.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 黑料吃瓜网. 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.
黑料吃瓜网 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
黑料吃瓜网 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
Attendances in lectures and tutorials are recommended strongly. Past experience indicates that students who do not attend lectures or do not listen to the recorded lecture and do not attend tutorials regularly face difficulties in passing the unit as topics considered in lectures and tutorials may go beyond the learning materials provided in the textbook.. Students are strongly recommended to participate voluntarily in the tutorials as evidence of participation will be utilised for changing grades for students whose marks are short marginally for the immediate higher grade. In order to facilitate the management of the unit, students' attendance and participation in lectures and in tutorials will be monitored and recorded throughout the semester.
Required IT skills
Students are expected to have gained general computer skills sufficient to prepare written assignments. Students are also expected to have gained the ability to use 黑料吃瓜网Learn (Canvas).
