    Specific Course Requirements
    There are no other anticipated requirements.
  • 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.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome
    Assignment 1: Prepare 3 Lessons from a Unit for Year 11 (with an outline of the unit) 40% 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
    Assignment 2: 2,000 - 4,500 Word Fully Worked Through Unit (Nominate Year Level and Task Type of the Focus of Work) 50% 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
    Attendance 10% 1, 8
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Attendance at all classes is compulsory. 10% of the total course marks are allocated for attendance.
    Assignment 1 is 40% of the total marks. Assignment 2 is worth 50% of the total marks.
    Assessment Detail
    Assignment 1
    Create 3 lesson plans for one Unit on a topic of your choosing from the Year 11 SACE English curriculum. Include any worksheets you wish to use. See below for more detail. Include an outline for the whole Unit to show how your individual lessons fit in to the whole scheme of work.
    Note: If you choose a language based Unit here, you must do a literature based Unit for the second assignment and vice versa.

    What you send in:
    • An outline of the class and any special needs you must address.
    • An outline of the whole Unit and how it fits into the course.
    • A list of resources.
    • Three full lesson plans, indicating where and how you will differentiate for those with special needs and differing abilities.
    • Any associated worksheets for the lessons you have written up in detail.

    Assignment 2
    Create a fully articulated Unit of Work for Year 12 Comms or Studies. Note: If you chose a language based Unit for your first assignment, you must do a literature based Unit for the second assignment and vice versa.

    What you send in:
    • An outline of the class and any special needs you must address.
    • An outline of the whole Unit and how it fits into the course.
    • A list of resources.
    • All lesson plans, indicating where and how you will differentiate for those with special needs and differing abilities.
    • All associated worksheets for the Unit.

    Preparing for Assignments 1 and 2:
    • Include an outline of the class, including details of any students with special needs and how you intend to address those needs. Create details.
    • Remember that units do not stand alone: you will need to outline the learning context, the location of the unit in the full year plan and what will follow and build on what you have taught in this unit.
    • Give a list of resources required.
    • Outline your rationale for text and task choices.
    • Make sure you teach every element you wish your students to learn: the ideas, the form, the language, every element of the marking criteria.
    • Differentiate the plans for the top, middle and bottom of the class,. You may differentiate by the process, the product, the content and/or the environment.
    • Show how your unit fits in with the SACE requirements and the SACE outcomes for the exact year level you have chosen.
    • Include work sheets, homework, tasks and as much of the teaching as you can.
    • Use the four part lesson plan I will teach you in class. There are ideas for starters, developments, shared and individual writing, grammar and plenaries in the course book – get to know it well. Remember the texts in there are the right level, so they are good ideas.
    • Make sure you include the full unit and all teaching plans. Notice that I specifically require you to show how this unit will move the young people forward in their learning: busywork has no place in the contemporary classroom.
    • Be creative, dedicated and detailed.
    • I will not count words: successful whole units usually come in at about 6-12 pages, depending on the way you set them out. Length is not a guarantee of success but units which are only a couple of pages long rarely contain sufficient detail to access the highest grades.
    • Unit cover sheets are not essential but they do look professional.
    • Do your best and seek help early. I am not sympathetic to late requests for extensions. That said, you must tell me if you have a serious problem so I can help you work around it.
    Submission
    Assignment 1 is due on Monday Week 4.
    Assignment 2 is due on Monday Week 6.

    All work must be submitted as a Word document. Do not send a PDF or any other format. Please use Times New Roman, 1.5 spacing, 11 point size.
    If you borrow from other people’s work, acknowledge all your sources. If you develop something from someone’s else’s work use the phrase ‘based on... by... accessed on....’. This avoids accusations of plagiarism.

  • 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.

  • 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.
