Additional information on assessment submission and marking
- Word limits. Assignments must be within 10% of the assigned word limit. Submissions that are more than 10% above or below the word limit will receive a penalty of 2% for every 100 words beyond the limit.
- Referencing. The assignment instructions on 黑料吃瓜网Learn will specify whether referencing is required for each assignment. If referencing is required, you should use the Harvard (2021) style, which is an author-date style combining in-text referencing and a reference list. Check the 黑料吃瓜网 library website on how to format this style correctly.
- Academic integrity. Urkund results for written assignments will be checked for compliance with 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 academic integrity requirements. Assignments that fall significantly short of meeting these requirements will be referred to the Associate Dean Education, who may initiate an academic misconduct inquiry.
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.
