You have been advised that the maximum depth of the proposed water features will be limited to a depth of less than 300 mm and that it will not be emptied at night. You have also been advised that the supervision levels will not be changed and that no life guard is proposed . You have also been advised that the perceived usage will change from passive to active i.e. visitors will be actively encouraged to engage with the new water feature.

Be aware that several students have fallen foul, in previous semesters, of the sophisticated systems in place to detect plagiarism, whether of another student’s work or of books, internet resources, etc. You may use a revised version of a report you have prepared at work, as long as you clearly state the origins of your assignment and clearly delineate your contribution to this report.
UTS reserves the right to use and/or disclose your assignment. If you use information which your (current or former) employer could regard as confidential, clearly state this on the first page. UTS will endeavour to protect all such information from disclosure.
A late penalty of 10% per day shall be applied (inclusive of weekends and public holidays). It is suggest you risk manage your upload and do not leave the upload to minutes before the submission deadline. The UTSOnline system cannot handle an entire class simultaneously attempting to upload (you would not want to risk losing 10% of your hard-earned mark).
