Workload

You’re expected to spend approximately 10 hours per week studying a 6 UoC (units of credit) course, from week 1 until the final assessment. This includes both face-to-face classes and independent, self-directed study. In periods where you need to complete assignments or prepare for examinations, the workload may be greater. You should take the required workload into account when planning how to balance study with employment and other activities.

Attendance

Regular and punctual attendance at all classes is expected. UNSW regulations state that if students attend less than 80% of scheduled classes, they may be refused final assessment.

General conduct & behaviour

Consideration and respect for the needs of your fellow students and teaching staff is an expectation. Conduct which unduly disrupts or interferes with a class is not acceptable and students may be asked to leave the class.

You’re expected to observe standards of equity and respect in dealing with every member of the University community. This applies to all activities on UNSW premises and all external activities related to study and research. This includes behavior in person as well as behaviour on social media (e.g. online groups set up for the purpose of discussing UNSW courses or coursework).

Behaviour that is considered in breach of the student code of conduct can lead to severe penalties, including suspension or exclusion from UNSW. This includes conduct that is discriminatory, sexually inappropriate, bullying, harassing, invading of another's privacy or causing any person to fear for their personal safety.
