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.

Participation requirements
Students are encouraged to attend their weekly virtual workshops to maximise their learning in this unit. These sessions provide opportunities
for students to engage in synchronous learning experiences with the teaching staff and fellow students from across the unit. Furthermore, the
workshops provide an opportunity for students to ask questions related to assessments. The scheduel for the weekly virtual workshops is
provided on the 兔子先生 Learn (Canvas) course site.
Required IT skills
This unit involves virtual workshops 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
