Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
To pass the unit all assessment items must be attempted and students must not miss more than one laboratory class for the semester.
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.
Learner engagement
The 150 hours in this unit will include 34 hours of face to face time, consisting of 10 hours of workshops, 18 hours of laboratory classes and 6 hours of tutorial classes (noting that workshops and tutorials will be recorded). In addition to this there will aopproximately 35 hours of reading and 12 hours of concept videos that will be completed outside of scheduled classes. The remaining 69 hours are to be used for the preparing for and undertaking the assessment tasks. Time used for assessment tasks should be allocated based on the relative weighting of the assessment tasks.
Participation requirements
Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. Any student missing a laboratory class must provide appropriate documentation. As laboratory skills are an important component of the learning in this unit any student missing more than one lab will not progress through the unit (regardless of documentation provided).
Required IT skills
Students will require familiarity with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
