Hurdle requirement
Note: to pass this course, students must complete all assessment tasks worth 20% or more.
The minimum attendance requirement that students attend at least 80% of all classes.
Students are expected to read the texts set for the given weeks in advance and prepare their answers to any set questions, as required.
It is a requirement of the course that students attend all classes. Exemption from attendance may be given by lecturers or tutors only for medical reasons or for documented cases of personal hardship. 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.Small Group Discovery Experience
The preparation of a 20-minute oral presentation in Week 12 on an aspect of the Culture topic will require students to conduct research, working in pairs. -
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.
Assessment Summary
See Course Outline on MyUni for details regarding assessment.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.
The assessment items and weightings have not changed. However, the mode of submission will change.
The comprehension tests on Wednesday of Week 6 will be a timed writing task. The doc word on which students write their answers will be submitted on MyUni - assignments.
The group presentation of a selected scene of a play will be done on Zoom during the week 12 seminar. Students read their piece to the class on Zoom. However, given the move from a classroom to the on-line platform, the marking criteria will change. It will consider only voice and intonation, not gestures or movements. The relative weightings will change as a result, with 20% only attributed to the reading, and 80% to the exegesis. Because Friday of Week 6 and the following Monday are public holidays, the exegesis is due on Tuesday April 14.
The analysis of the scene (short essay) will be uploaded on MyUni - Assignments. Because Friday of Week 6 and the following Monday are public holidays, the exegesis is due on Tuesday April 14.
The long essay will be submitted also on MyUni - Assignments.Assessment Related Requirements

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.
