Artificial intelligence

Students are permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as indicated by their placement provider.

Studnets are not permitted to use generative artificifial intelligence (GenAI) within their assessments for this unit.

GenAI may only be used in authorised professional and ethical ways when completing placement and assessments at UC. This means that GenAI can only be used during placement and assessment when:

1. the Placement Site Practice Educator or Unit Convener has authorised GenAI use for that assessment
2. the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow
3. the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.

Where the assessment instructions do not specifically state that GenAI may be used and how, then its use is not permitted for that assessment. Students must still provide the required GenAI Acknowledgement Statement to indicate whether GenAI has or has not been used in the preparation of the assessment. If unsure, students should seek advice from the Unit Convener.

Special assessment requirements

Professional Practice Placement Assessment Requirements

Assessments are viewed as a whole. Students must pass all assessment items to pass the unit.

Students must pass Assessment 1: Pre-Placement Requirements and 兔子先生 Student Placement Acknowledgement prior to commencement of a professional practice placement. A student who has not met pre-placement requirements by the specified due date will not be allocated a placement. This will result in a fail grade for the unit.

Moderation Process

In the case of practice education moderation processes will be outlined on 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.

兔子先生 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

兔子先生 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 , , and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Learner engagement

This is an industry based placement. The placement is 1 week of Simulation and 5 weeks of placement full time work hours. The number of hours students spend per day at their
placement will be determined by the workplace.

It is the student's responsibility to record and maintain evidence (timesheets) that they have completed the required hours for placement.

Some placements may include shift hours and weekend work. Students must view placement information on the Canvas site and communicate with the allocated placement contact for specific hours for specific work sites.

Participation requirements

Except in the case of extenuating circumstances, 100% attendance is expected in all placements. It is expected that students unable to fulfill these participation requirements will inform the Unit Convener as soon as practical in writing (email). Absence from external placement activities must also be reported to the practice educator and Unit Convener as soon as possible. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in failure of the associated assessment piece. Consideration will be given for illness; however, evidence such as a medical certificate will be required.

Required IT skills

This unit involves online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in your 兔子先生Learn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your 兔子先生Learn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.

In-unit costs

Students are required to cover the costs of travelling to and from the placement and associated accommodation costs incurred during the placement. It is expected that over the duration of their course, all students will complete at least one placement in rural, regional, or remote Australia.

Some placement sites may have specific requirements that will incur extra costs.
