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

The entire assessments include an assignment (15%), a mini-project (15%) and final exam (70%).

Assessment Related Requirements

To gain a pass for this course, a mark of at least 50% must be obtained on the examination as well as a total of at least 50% overall. Students not achieving the minimum exam mark will be awarded no more than 49.

Late Assignment Submission
Students are required to submit their works before the due date and all requests for extension must be emailed to the lecturer before the due date. Each request is assessed on its merits. Extensions will only be given for medical or other very serious reasons. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 10% mark reduction for each day that it is late.

Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details
The Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide is strongly suggested to be downloaded and gone through before the first lecture, which could assist you to structure your assignment and get a better mark.

Under most circumstances, the aim of the assessment is not purely to ask you writing down your idea. They should be a kind of academic writing,such as the discussion report, literature review, or executive summary. Please carefully go through the requirements first. In preparing any written piece of assessment, it is important to draw on the relevant ‘literature’ to support the critical analysis. Also essential is to reference the literature used. The Guideline of the Harvard Reference, which is widely used in the Business Schools, can be found in The Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide, too. Correct referencing is important since it identifies the source of the ideas and arguments that you present, and sometimes the source of the actual words you use, and helps to avoid the problem of plagiarism.

Further assistance with referencing is available from the Faculty’s Learning Support Advisors. The contact details are provided on page 6 of the Communication Skills Guide.

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.
