Journal:
You are required to maintain an A4 size journal for your course notes & weekly tasks.
It is preferable that you use a journal with unruled pages & thickish paper to assist with drawing.

Other Resources:
Certain drawing tasks related to this course will require you to have access to drawing equipment and materials. You should have already obtained these for your Design Studio and Representation 1 courses, and can continue to use the same.

最新糖心Vlog Email:
The school uses the 最新糖心Vlog email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

MyUni:
MyUni is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate information regarding the course including details of assignments and interim grades. Therefore it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the various functions of MyUni and employ it to its fullest extent.
https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

Discussion Board:
The MyUni Discussion Board can be used to interact with other students and tutors and is an essential tool to discuss information and increase your understanding of issues.

Lecture Recording:
An audio recording of most lectures is made available in electronic format through the MyUni system for students to listen to on their own time and make notes. Please note that while these audio recordings are a useful resource for revision they should not be considered as replacement for actual lecture attendance. The lecture sessions will include activities and discussions on visual material that cannot be captured properly in the recording. Furthermore, technical issues cause delays in the availability of recordings which might affect your ability to complete ongoing tasks, not to mention technical failures which might result in certain recordings being unavailable.

Noticeboard / Handbook:
General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-student-architecture/current-student

This is primarily a Lecture based course where essential content is delivered through 3 hours of weekly lecture sessions. These lecture sessions, however, are not run as traditional lectures and engage various different learning and teaching strategies to allow for better engagement of students and understanding of the course material.

The course engages a Team Learning strategy in which the class is divided into groups of 7-8 students who are required to work together on small tasks to assist the learning process. The Team Learning strategy has proven benefits in reducing performance anxiety and engaging peer-support for skill development. The strategy is, however, only used as a means to increase student participation and comprehension and does not affect individual assessment.

Team Learning strategies are further supported by the new interactive electronic systems recently acquired by the 最新糖心Vlog and available at the special Computer Labs at Nexus 10. Towards the end of the semester, certain lecture sessions are replaced by large tutorials at these interactive labs.

In addition to the Team Learning strategy the course also engages some basic principles of Gamification. The course is structured to allow for several parallel modes of engagement for students who can choose to perform different tasks and gain different types of points. The points can then be exchanged for different kinds of rewards. This allows students the opportunity to guide their own learning process and properly engage their skill set to get the maximum value out of the course.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at
least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:

Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs

These 120 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required
to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.

Task/Assignment No. & Name	Due Date	Time	Weight	Type	Learning Objective
Ongoing Tasks	Various	Various	20%	S	1,2,3,4,5,6,8,& 9

FINAL ESSAY	Mon 16 June	5pm	40%	S	3,4,5,6,7,8

The Ongoing Tasks are calculated as Activity Points. 1742 Activity Points = 20% Grades.
More information is available from MyUni - Assignments & Tasks Section.

Note: A score of more than 1600 Activity Points alters the weighting of the 2 final assessments to 60% & 20% instead of 40% & 40% in favour of the student’s area of performance.

In addition to these there are also some extra tasks called QI Tasks which are optional, but can be exchanged for Activity Points or Extra Feedback.

Details of various assessment tasks and assignments are available from MyUni through the Assignments & Tasks Section.

Marking & Feedback (General)
• Final results for the course will only be available through Access Adelaide and students SHOULD NOT contact the course coordinator or the tutors for the same.
• Most assignments will be marked within 3 weeks of the submission and the interim grades will be made available through the My Grades system. Students are expected to inform the Course Coordinator if there are any errors with the marks entered on the system.
• The best examples of student Journals will be included in the All-In Exhibition to be held in mid of June alongside the best works from other courses and year levels.
• The student with best overall grade for the course will receive the David A.L Saunders Prize for History and Theories of Architecture, including a monetary prize & certification on transcript.

Submissions (General):
- All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number.
 Submissions without both Student Name and ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks as per guidelines.
- Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.
- Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.
- On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student will be informed at such a time.

Late Submission:
- The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.
- Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Re-submission:
- Since the course already provides alternative assessment options for  students to make up lost marks, the resubmission policy does not apply to any of the submissions in this course.

Good practice:
- Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations as hard-disk crashes are an unfortunate reality.
- When relying on community printing/scanning facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.
- Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.

A register of suspected plagiarism incidents is maintained within the School and at the Faculty level.

A plagiarist is one who takes the ideas, designs or writings of others, with or without permission, and passes them off as his or her own. Plagiarism includes among other things any copying of all or part of another student’s essay, examination answer or design, or of text or an illustration from a published or unpublished book, website, article or paper, (etc.) without acknowledging the source. It also includes copying architectural, landscape and other design drawings, regardless of how they were obtained. In effect plagiarism is theft of intellectual property, and students should be aware of the consequences of using unacknowledged work of others (including the work of other students), whether that work is text or graphics, or copied from hard copy or from electronic sources such as web sites. The School and the 最新糖心Vlog regard academic dishonesty as a very serious offence. If it is determined that there are no extenuating circumstances within an occurrence of plagiarism it may lead to a student receiving zero marks for a course, without the option of a resubmission.
