Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course uses a number of different teaching and learning approaches including:
- Lectures
- Guided Tutorials
- Problem Solving Projects
- Examinations
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
There will be 3 hours of lectures and a 2 hour practical session per week. A practice exam will be conducted during one of the practicals to help prepare you for the final exam. You will need to spend time outside of the practicals working on the tutorials and projects as they are critical to your learning.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.

This assessment breakdown complies with the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.
This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.Assessment Related Requirements
Students must obtain at least 40% in the examination to be eligible to pass the course. Please be aware that you may receive a RP (Results Pending) result, and be awarded an academic supplementary exam if you fail to meet this requirement. Subsequent failure to demonstrate a necessary level of knowledge and understanding of the course material in the supplementary exam will result in a zero fail grade.Assessment Detail
Further details of each assessment will be provided in lectures and/or via MyUni before the due date.
Submission
Late submissions will in most cases receive a zero mark. A late submission will only be allowed when a deferred deadline has been approved by the course coordinator prior to the due date because of medical or extenuating circumstances. Any requests for extensions must be communicated by email.
Electronic submissions of the code will be checked for plagiarism. Instances of plagiarism will result in a minimum penalty of a zero mark for the submission for all parties involved and will be subject to the .
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.

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.
