If students miss two classes without providing a satisfactory explanation (on medical or compassionate grounds), the course coordinator will ask them to explain why they should not be excluded from the course. In all cases, the onus is on students to contact their tutor or lecturer, preferably in advance, to explain their absence and to make arrangements to catch up on missed work. If this is not done, it will be assumed that the students concerned are no longer in the course.
Hurdle Requirement: students who do not meet the following requirements will be awarded a grade of Fail for the course:
· Completion of all assessment tasks worth 20% or moreSmall Group Discovery Experience

Each group will present for 15 minutes, using Powerpoint slides, and will provide bibliography. -

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.

Submission
Presentation of Work
The two essays will be submitted in paper copy via the Assignment Box in the School of Humanities office, level 7, Napier Building. Attach a signed cover sheet, and indicate the name of the staff member for whom it is intended. The essay should be written on alternate lines (double spaced, if typed, and in a font size no less than 12), for greater clarity and to allow ample room for correction. For essays, attention should be given to the correct setting out of quotations and references.
Deadlines
Assignments handed in after the due date will be penalized at the rate of 5% of the total mark per day, up to a maximum of 5 working days, after which they will not be accepted at all. These penalties will not apply, however, if an extension has been granted before the due date. Extensions will only be granted on medical grounds (medical certificate required) or in documented cases of hardship. Please note that under no circumstances will assignments be accepted for marking after the corrected work has been returned to students.
STUDENTS MUST HAND IN THEIR ESSAYS BY MIDDAY OF THE DAY INDICATED TO THE SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES OFFICE (LEVEL 7, NAPIER BUILDING), WHERE IT WILL HAVE THE DATE OF SUBMISSION STAMPED ON IT.
Marked work will generally be returned to students one or two weeks following submission. For work that is handed up at the end of semester, students should attach a stamped self-addressed envelope. School policy states that if no envelope accompanies the (end of semester) assignment, it will not be returned and it will be graded only. No comments will be provided.
Redemption
For the essays, a student who has failed and wishes to do an essay again in order to obtain a higher mark may do so. The onus is, however, on the student to make such a request.Course Grading

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.
