Submission of assessment items

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 UCLearn 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 UC library website on how to format this style correctly.
• Academic integrity. Urkund results for written assignments will be checked for compliance with UC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 UC. 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 69萝莉 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Participation requirements

Students are expected to view all lectures and attend all workshops unless a valid reason for non-attendance (e.g. illness) is given.  

Required IT skills

Students must submit all assignments in the required electronic formats and are expected to know or learn how to use core features of the UCLearn site, including accessing readings, slides, lecture recordings and related teaching material.

Students will have the option of enrolling in an online or face-to-face tutorial group (space permitting). Students enrolled in online tutorial groups will participate 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.
