Curriculum 2: Teaching and Learning In, Through and About Health and Physical Education and The Arts

Distance Attendance and Participation Requirements
Attendance all scheduled course workshops within the OSI programme, completion of online practical components and tasks for Music and Visual Art, and engagement with online lecture/ workshop recordings and course content are requirements to pass the course. Students are expected to check their UC email weekly and attend, or review the recordings of, online Zoom meetings hosted by staff as scheduled on the course map.  Students need to notify lecturers in writing (e.g. email message) if they are unable to engage online for more than one week of the course. Students who are unable to meet the attendance and participation requirements are advised to withdraw from the course.

Distance students need to be able to access or may need to purchase a) some visual art materials and b) either a guitar or ukulele to complete ARTS content at home after the OSI programme.

Late work will be accepted for marking up to one week (7 days) after the due date. Up to 24 hours late, a penalty of 1 grade step will be applied. For work that is more than 24 hours late and without an extension having been sought and granted, the maximum mark that can be received is a C-. Lecturers reserve the right not to mark work handed in more than a week late, and no work will be accepted after assignments have been returned.

Both assessments must be completed to a satisfactory standard to be able to pass this course. Requests for an extension should be made in writing to the course coordinator in advance of the due date (e.g. email request). Normally an extension would be for a few days and no more than 2 weeks later than the published assignment due date.

A resubmission is permitted where work for an assignment received a failing (D or E) grade. One resubmission is allowed for each assignment; however, no grade higher than a C- will be awarded to resubmitted work. Work that is to be resubmitted will normally be due one week after being returned to the student unless other arrangements are requested and granted by the lecturer or course coordinator.

Special consideration of assessment items (Aegrotat) is not available for this course and all assignments must be completed.  Where circumstances mean that students cannot submit assignment work on time, they should apply for an extension to the assignment due date.  Where an extension may be granted for an assessment, this will be decided by direct application to the Course Coordinator (in writing) and an application to the Examiners Office will not be required.  

For more information see Special Consideration Regulations.

Students will submit their assessments via the online assessment system in the Learn course on or before the due date. Assignments are automatically sent through Turnitin to check for Plagiarism on submission of assignments.

It is the responsibility of the students to check their Internet access and ability to submit their work via the online system.  Any technical difficulties should be notified well in advance of the due date so that assistance can be provided or alternative arrangements can be negotiated.
