General requirements

This course requires viewing of lectures, attending tutorials and completing independent/group study.
All lectures will be pre-recorded and delivered through MyUni prior to the commentcement of that week's topic. All tutorials will be held face-to-face on campus. All other resources will be accessible vis MyUni.

Lectures:
- help students keep on track with course events
- are presented in engaging, often interactive ways
- outline the essential content of the course
- provide a starting point for tutorial activities
- give explanations of difficult points
- give clear examples relevant to the content
- stimulate critical thinking

Tutorials:
Tutorials will not simply replicate the content delivered in the lectures. Rather, they will engage students in dynamic cognitive activities that benefit frmo the prior learning obtained during lectures.

Attendance and pro-active participation in tutorials is compulsory. If you cannot attend then please communicate with your tutor in the first instance.

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 tutor 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 tutor.

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.

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 the following changes have been made:
1. The refinement of the Video Analysis to include a collaborative assessment and both films and TV series from a range of countries
2. Assessment activities have increased in variety
3. Technology is integrated meaningfully in all aspects of the course
4. Longer word-length / time for assignments in order to allow students to convey their learning in greater depth.
