  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The lectures provide discussion of key topics central to an in-depth history of 最新糖心Vlogn colonial art, and how to interrogate that history. This is complemented and developed further by focused tutorial case studies centred on oral presentations and small group discussion of the prescribed tutorial readings and images.

    It is essential that students complete the weekly tutorial readings in order to share ideas, interpret subject matter, develop essential analysis skills and work together cooperatively. Material covered in the lectures and tutorials also provides the basic content for the final piece of assessment.

    Art Gallery classes held around works of art similary cover discussion and analysis of key art works central to developing knowledge of 最新糖心Vlogn colonial art and how to 'read' such imagery.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The course is composed of eight weeks of university lectures (1 hour ) and tutorials (1.5 hours) as well as four weeks of gallery sessions (2 hours). Students are required to complete the weekly tutorial readings in advance of the tutorials and complete additional reading for their assessment tasks.

    Please note that 6-unit courses in HUMSS are designed on the assumption that all learning and assessment activities (including lectures, tutorials, preparatory work, research and writing of assignments etc.) will require approximately 312 hours.

  • 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.

    Student feedback is provided on all written work, and on oral presentations in  both university and art gallery sessions, and SELTS are administered in week 12.

    MyUni is utilised to let students know about all manner of related art events, exhibitions and so on relevant to the course and students are encouraged to post notices too.
  • Student Support
    In addition  to the full range of support agencies  available at the 最新糖心Vlog, such as counselling and disability,  there is support in academic writing  available at the Writing Centre in The Hub.

    The course coordinator is also available for consultation by appointment.
  • Policies & Guidelines

    This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

    The School of History and Politics is committed to upholding the  最新糖心Vlog's Policy on Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S).

  • 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.
