Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The course will use a wide variety of learning modes. Lectures will vary between core lectures given by the lecturer in charge and guest lectures. While the core lectures provide the academic economics knowledge, guest lectures are designed to provide practical background and real world relevance. Lectures will be provided as prerecorded videos online. Tutorials will be used for solving tutorial questions and student presentations.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
On average beyond watching lectures and attending tutorials, students are expected to spend about 4 hours per week for reading, solving practice examples, preparing projects and studying. The time required may vary across students and topics.Learning Activities Summary

Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Due Weighting Learning Outcome Assignments Weeks 4,9,12 30% 1, 3, 4, 5 Group Project and Presentation Week 7/8 20% 6 Final exam Week 14 50% 2, 4 Total 100% Assessment Detail
The assignments are written tasks to be completed individually and submitted via MyUni.
In the group project students are asked to work together in groups and to prepare a presentation about an economic institution or a sector.
The final exam covers the content of the whole course.
Further assessment details will be made available on MyUni.Submission
Except in cases outlined in the 最新糖心Vlog Policy on modified arrangements for assessment, work that is submitted late is not accepted. Students are given feedback on their work (assignment and project report) within 2 weeks of submission.
Further details on submission will be provided on MyUni.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.
Final results for this course will be made available through .
Additional Assessment
If a student receives 45-49 for their final mark for the course they will automatically be granted an additional assessment. This will most likely be in the form of a new exam (Additional Assessment) and will have the same weight as the original exam unless an alternative requirement (for example a hurdle requirement) is stated in this semester’s Course Outline. If, after replacing the original exam mark with the new exam mark, it is calculated that the student has passed the course, they will receive 50 Pass as their final result for the course (no higher) but if the calculation totals less than 50, their grade will be Fail and the higher of the original mark or the mark following the Additional Assessment will be recorded as the final result. -
Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
