Please remember to allow adequate time for you to submit your assignment to Turnitin. It is your responsibility to have your assignment submitted by the assessment due date. Not receiving an originality report is not an acceptable reason for requesting an assignment extension unless it is a required part of the assessment.

HURDLE REQUIREMENTS There are a variety of assessment hurdles or conditions for passing a subject other than the overall mark. Hurdle Requirements may be built into the assessment of the learning outcomes of your subject. There are no Hurdle Requirements for this subject.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY “Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship. Academic integrity education is integral to the learning experience at La Trobe University. The University requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work, and it demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating”. (La Trobe University Academic Integrity – Procedures and Responsibilities, 2015). The penalty for contract cheating (submitting an assignment that you paid someone else to do) may be as severe as “exclusion from the University without readmission ”. Refer to the Academic Integrity - Schedule of Responses and Penalties for Academic Misconduct at https://www.latrobe.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/847923/Academic-Integrity-Schedule-of Responses.pdf. You should familiarise yourself with the Academic Integrity website at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/academic-integrity, and complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) in your LMS. If you have any questions, ask your Subject or Course Coordinator.
