Required texts
There is no required text as readings will be available on UC Learn (Canvas).
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 五月天视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Learner engagement
The University will return to campus in 2022 and we will run face-to-face tutorials. This unit is mostly delivered on-campus. However, we may need to be flexible regarding face-to-face learning and will follow COVID-safe principles.
Please see current information regarding the return to campus below:
/coronavirus-advice/return-to-campus-2022
Lectures
Each weekly lecture will have a different theme (see Timetable of Activities). Lectures introduce the key concepts, share case studies and provide inspiration for your assessment.
You are welcome to attend lectures in-person. However, if you prefer to listen online the lecture recordings they will be available via Canvas. Lectures should generally be available following the scheduled time Wednesdays 13:30pm-14:30pm. Some lectures will be pre-recorded and we will have an online 'excursion' in Week 11. I encourage you to listen to lectures before attending tutorials.
Tutorials
Participation in tutorials will ensure that you experience two-way learning and get the best experience through engagement with your peers. However, if you have difficulty or concerns regarding tutorial attendance please get in touch so that we can make arrangements (ashley.harrison@canberra.edu.au).
Tutorial activity and discussion will focus on weekly themes or assessment. It is expected that you complete weekly readings to participate in class and that on assessment weeks you come prepared as outlined in your assessment schedule. We will generally leave 30 minutes at the end of each tutorial for student consultation. You are encouraged to bring your laptop or smartphone device to explore examples further and to work on assessments in the set tutorials.
Inclusion and engagement
Please contact your unit convenor to confirm inclusion and engagement arrangements (ashley.harrison@canberra.edu.au)
Participation requirements
Students are expected to participate and attend weekly tutorials to achieve the learning outcomes of this unit. Lecture attendance is highly reccomended.
