    Specific Course Requirements
    General requirements

    Lectures Attendance

    Attendance at lectures is strongly recommended. Rresearch-based evidence shows that it significantly improves grades (Woodfield, et al., 1-22, in Studies in Higher Education, 31, 1, 2006 and Rodgers and Rodgers, 27-41, in Education Research and Perspectives, 30, 1, 2003).

    Lectures:
    Help students keep on track with course events

    Are presente din engaging, often interactive ways

    Outline the essential content of the course

    Provide a starting point for private study

    Give explanations of difficult points

    Give clear examples relevant to the content

    Stimulate student thinking and provide guidelines for thoughts assisting to develop a critical interest in the subject (RMIT Counselling Service, 1969)

    Tutorials

    Attendance and pro-active participation is compulsory and is marked as an assessment. If you cannot attend then please provide evidence of sickness or other valid reason for absence, otherwise non-attendance will be counted as absence for assessment purposes.

    Special Consideration

    Students who wish to seek special consideration because of illness or special circumstances should apply to the lecturer in charge with relevant documentary evidence. This is usually a doctor’s certificate. For both special consideration and extensions you need to complete the Application Form – Assessment Task Extension or Replacement Examination due to Medical and Compassionate Circumstances and/or Application Form – Extenuating Circumstances Application Form. These along with relevant information and instructions can be obtained frmo the Faculty of Arts office.

    Extensions and deadlines

    If due to illness or other valid reasons, a student is unable to meet a deadline, please contact the lecturer before the deadline in order to seek an extension (which may or may not be granted).

    Any assignment handed in late, without authorised extension, will be penalised at a rate of 10% of the assigned mark per 24-hour period late, to a maximum of 7 periods, as per university regulations.

    Assignments handed in more than seven periods late, without authorised extension, will not be marked and an automatic fail grade for that piece of assessment will be recorded.

    Plagiarism

    Plagiarism is “the reproducing of someone else's intellectual work and representing it as one's own without proper acknowledgment”. Examples of plagiarism include: direct copying or paraphrasing of someone else’s words without acknowledging the source; using facts, information and ideas directly derived from an unacknowledged source; and producing assignments which are the work of other people.

    Students have a responsibility to:

    · Access and use available information provided by the 最新糖心Vlog to avoid plagiarism;

    · Declare sources in their work submitted for assessment, from which they obtain material or ideas:

    · Retain drafts, notes and copies of all assignments submitted for assessment;

    · Ensure that you do not make your work available to other students in any form for the purposes of plagiarism;

    · Discuss any questions you may have about plagiarism with your kindly and supportive lecturer.

    Specific Requirements

    Students should write their assignments independently. Students are expected to produce their own work. This might involve students choosing, analyzing, summarizing and interpreting the (often competing) ideas of others, and developing argument and drawing conclusions. Students can: discuss assignments with other students and their tutors; communicate with one another in constructive ways about the learning process; and assist each other, e.g. by discussing the approaches that might be taken to assignment topics, or helping with the availability of reading materials.

    Students must acknowledge an original author/creator for the ideas and concepts used in their work by providing a reference or citation. A reference is the written detail of the original source for ideas, which may be referenced within, and at the end of the assignment in the form of a reference list.

    You may use quotations: exact words of an original author in written work. The quotation (exact words) should be placed in quotation marks and be accompanied by a reference. If paraphrasing (rewrite completely another author's words or ideas with the intention of presenting the author's ideas), it is vital that the passage is fully rewritten, including the sentence structure. Any short phrases or key words that are used should be handled as quotes. The source must always be referenced

    Small Group Discovery Experience

    Topic
    Educational and school policy in real classrooms.
    Task

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    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 tutorial attendance and participation assessment has been abolished. This also applied to Remote Learning Pathway students.

    A new assessment has been introduced, named eLearning Theory Response (15%), due 17 April 2020. This also applied to Remote Learning Pathway students.

    The Branched Scenario Assignment will go ahead, but with some minor technical modifications. This also applied to Remote Learning Pathway students.

    The group Documentary Analysis Assignment is still active and students can continue to engage with their sub-group, to watch the documentary films and make progress towards their analytical video. This task will be different for Remote Learning Pathway students, who will conduct it individually rather than in groups. Weighting for the Documentary Analysis Assignment is now 30% (previously 35%).
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Tutorials

    See the Weekly Tutorial Readings and Exercises in MyUni. Prepare for the tutorial prior to the tutorial itself.

    Each week there are tutorials in which we will discuss the topic and the literature listed for that week, watch a video or some other activity associated with the topic. All students are required to read listed materials for these sessions and take part in the discussion. It is not meant to be another lecture. The success of the tutorials depends on everyone reading some relevant material and bringing notes on their reading. This will assist in group discussions. 

    Participation at tutorials is assessed based on a student’s apparent preparation for tutorials and the reading of the relevant chapters in the two key texts (and the preparation of a summary), willingness to contribute to discussion, the usefulness of the contribution, the assistance given to others in the group, the quality of the ideas, etc. Passive attendance does not fulfil course 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.

    As a result of student feedback and new teaching initiatives at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide the following changes have been made:
    1. The refinement of the Video Analysis to include a collaborative assessment
    2. Tutorial readings and activities have been revised to make better use of the new textbook, and to make its purchase not compulsory
    4. Assessment activities have increased in variety
    5. Technology is integrated meaningfully in all aspects of the course
    6. Longer word-length / time for assignments in order to allow students to convey their learning in greater depth.
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
