Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 含羞草视频. 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.
含羞草视频 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
含羞草视频 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 含羞草视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Learner engagement
As this unit has a substantial real-world group project it is expected that you will organise time to regularly meet and work with your group over the semester. During the optional drop in sessions time will be allocated to provide feedback and guidance as you travel this learning journey together. The benefit you gain from this feedback will reflect, in part, the work you have done together prior to meeting times.
Participation requirements
Research has established that there is a strong correlation between engagement and success in higher education. With this in mind, we encourage you to actively participate in all online module activities to enhance your learning opportunities.

Optinal drop in sessions will be scheduled once Semester starts to try and set times that suit most students in this online cohort.
