Skills development
For the ease of learning, we have divided the content into separate subjects, however we are not aiming to put "people in boxes" and will discuss intersectionality. The major message for this unit is our communities are strengthened by diversity and it is really important that you take the opportunity to explore and discuss your perspectives in a respectful but curious way.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
It is the student's responsibility to upload the correct and corresponding draft or assessment item to the right submission section. Assignments must be submitted in a format accessible to the assessor(s), as stated on the relevant canvas site. If the unit convener and/or tutor are unable to access a submission, a standard late penalty may be applied per day until the assignment is made accessible.
Should the unit convenor approve an extension request, it is highly unorthodox that extensions will be granted for more than 5 days (RAP students included). It is important to realise that if an extension is approved and the assessment is submitted late, this will delay the marking process. This can result in an inability to commence following units and hinder your progress through your course. If you are facing extenuating circumstances that are affecting your ability to complete an assignment on time, you need to complete the assessment request quiz and provide appropriate supporting documentation, this can be found on the Assessments Page in the canvas site.
Your assignment extension request will be considered, and you will be notified of the outcome via your Uni of canberra student email account by the extension requests team.
Please note, a blanket extension for all assessments in this unit is not acceptable.
Special assessment requirements
Assignments are graded. In order to pass this unit, all assignments must be submitted and an overall mark of 50% or more must be reached.
When you have allocated to a tutorial, this tutor is your contact person for feedback on assessments, however they may not mark all of your assessments as marking is completed by UC Counselling staff and is allocated depending on workloads
There is no option for resubmissions of assessments in this unit
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 91Porn (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Participation requirements
Attendance at tutorials is essential in this course. Students will be able to attain and demonstrate the required learning outcomes in their assessments if they attend and fully participate in the tutorials. Recordings will be made available for those who are unable to attend the tutorial sessions, however, sections of the video may be removed from the recording if sensitive information have been disclosed. Experience from past years indicates that students who do not participate in tutorials have a risk of failing the unit.
