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 course will be assessed as follows:

Assessment Task (type)	Weighting	Submission	Due Date	Learning Outcomes
Surveying Practical Report	10%	Group	Refer MyUni	6-7
Quiz No. 1 - Surveying	5%	Individual	Refer MyUni	6
Tutorials	10%	Group	Refer MyUni	1-5
Site Visit Reports	10%	Individual	Refer MyUni	1-5
Quiz No. 2 - Construction Management	5%	Individual	Refer MyUni	1-5
Examination: (2 hrs, closed book) [summative]	60%	Individual	During exam period	1-7

In order to pass the course students must achieve a minimum of 40% for the examination (course hurdle).

Assessment Related Requirements

Hurdles
Where the exam hurdle is not met students will receive a course result of the lesser of their calculated grade and the nominal
grade of 45, Fail. An additional assessment exam will be available to eligible students. Students should refer to the for eligibility criteria.

Exemptions for prior work
Requests for exemption from coursework components will only be considered when presented on an . All exemption requests must be made by the end of Week 3 of Semester. Exemptions will not be considered for exams, in-class quizzes or tutorials.

Group work
This course includes peer assessment for the tasks undertaken within groups. Further detail of the peer assessment is contained on MyUni. To maintain the integrity of the assessment task(s) there is a requirement that all students within a group contribute to each assessment task. Where there is evidence that group members have not sufficiently contributed to a group assessment task, the may be applied.

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.
