Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

LATE HAND IN POLICY

When a student does not submit an assessment task on or before the due date and time, their mark will be reduced by five percentage points per day from the total mark available (e.g. if an assessment was submitted three days late a mark of 70% would be reduced to 55%, or put another way, if a student was awarded 21 out of 30 and submitted three days late their mark would be reduced to 16.5 out of 30), up to a maximum of seven days at which time the assignment will no longer be accepted, unless there are approved extenuating circumstances.

Special assessment requirements

All marks will be moderated in accordance with the moderation policy outlined on the Canvas site.

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.

Practical skill competence is a requirement of all Accredited Exercise Physiologists. Students will need to make  bookings for the labs through Rebecca Tanner.

Required IT skills

It is expected that all students will have basic word-processing skills and appropriate IT skills for using Canvas, accessing relevant course material and information, and submitting assignments. For Canvas training and support please contact: (https://learnonline.canberra.edu.au/studentSupport.php) or the Library. If you are unfamiliar with searching specialist databases for accessing Physiology Journals please see the UC library site for details of training sessions: http://www.canberra.edu.au/library/research-gateway/research-skills-training

Students will be provided with instructions to setup their own Wibbi (exercise software) account. This will be used for creating exercise programs throughout this
