Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. 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.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ 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 º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Each week, this unit features a 3-hour workshop where you will actively create organisational stories and produce content that will be directly used in your assessments. Missing these sessions will make it challenging to succeed in the unit and may significantly impact your learning experience. These workshops provide valuable hands-on practice, peer feedback, and instructor guidance, all of which are essential to developing the skills needed for professional content creation. Therefore, regular attendance is strongly encouraged to ensure you get the most out of this unit.
Required IT skills
To participate effectively in this unit, you should have basic word processing, internet, photography, and multimedia skills. While some practical skills will be developed as part of the unit learning experience, having these foundational IT skills will help you engage with the coursework more effectively and enhance your overall learning experience.
