Required texts

A reading list will be provided for this unit via the unit Canvas page.
Readings and other stimulus material will be provided on Canvas and are available through the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø library. Students are advised to utilise these and other resources when preparing for tutorials/workshops, online activities and when planning assessment tasks.

Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Approval of extenuating circumstances will be dependent upon the production of supporting documentation and at the discretion of the unit convener.

All assessment items required to be submitted online must be submitted via the appropriate Canvas drop box. It is the student's responsibility to upload the correct and corresponding draft or assessment item to the right submission section. Assignments must be submitted in a format accessible to the assessor(s), as stated on the relevant canvas site. If the unit convener and/or tutor are unable to access a submission, or if no submission has been made by the due date and time, a standard late penalty of 10% of the total marks possible for the task may be applied per day, for three days, after which the submission will receive a score of ‘0' in keeping with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's Assessment Policy.

Special assessment requirements

Normally an aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit

Please note that the University takes student conduct very seriously. All documentation provided to University staff must be valid and the provision of fraudulent documentation carries with it potentially serious consequences, including suspension and/or exclusion from the University. Note that all allegations of student misconduct will be referred to the Associate Dean for Education (ADE) as a prescribed authority for investigation.

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

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø 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.

Learner engagement

This unit is offered in flexible mode and students are encouraged to enrol in the on-campus or online synchronous tutorial offering that best suits their timetable. 

Students are expected to have worked through the weekly module content prior to attending the weekly workshops. 

Approximate weekly engagement hours are outlined on the unit Canvas site. However, you should expect to engage in between 12 - 15 hours of work for this unit per week. This is inclusive of module activities, weekly workshop attendance and engagement, and assessment preparation. 

Participation requirements

As a unit of study offered in Flexible mode, attendance at scheduled sessions is not a mandatory requirement of this unit. Students who enrol in the ‘self-paced study' option (in lieu of tutorials) effectively have no tutorials to attend, and students who are enrolled in on-campus or remote tutorials may wish to re-allocate to ‘self-paced study' as the semester progresses. There is, however, a strong correlation between participation and success in higher education. With this in mind, we encourage and expect students to actively participate in all module activities to enhance their learning opportunities.

Required IT skills

Artificial intelligence services must not to 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 artificial intelligence services may only be used if:

• its use is authorised by the unit convener as part of a specified 
• assessment task, and
• it is used in the way allowed in the assessment instructions and/or unit outline, and 
• its use is appropriately referenced, meaning that students must reference the use of AI in their assessment in the same way as they reference other source material.
