Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The modes of teaching and learning employed in the course are largely classroom-based and face-to-face.
The lecture is (prerecorded) online:
1) A lecture giving an introduction to the history of German Culture particularly to the literary epoch of the early Goethezeit (1770-1800). Beginning with biographical aspects of representative relevance for the historical context, the focus will be on the development of works of the young Goethe and the distinctively German literary movement of Sturm und Drang.
2) A two-hour seminar will have the concerted textual work at the centre of attention and include small group as well as individual discovery activities. Week by week a number of determined text passage(s) of Werther are read as homework and then analysed, explained and interpreted in class.
3) Students are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their learning through:
茂聝聵 independent personal study

2. Seminararbeit: minor research assignment; based on the oral presentation;
3. Written response: minor assignment to a given question related to the topics of the lecture and/or seminar;

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.

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.
