Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Modes of teaching and learning in Rep. II are lectures and workshops. In the lectures theoretical information will be delivered and in the workshops technical skills will be taught through specifically designed computer-based exercises.
Lectures
Students are required to attend all the lectures as these will provide, first, the theoretical information necessary for the satisfactory completion of the assignments, and, second, the expectations and standard of work to be met by the students.
Workshops
Students are expected to attend all the workshops, which are devoted to the development of techincal skills as well as the review of individule and group work. Reviews will be mostly one-to-one or in small groups. On-screen crit is the main form of review and feedback, and students are expected to have their work-in-progress ready in digital format.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
This is a 3 unit course. Each week students are expected to attend 3 hours of lecture/workshop and to allow for 9 hours of self-directed learning, that is, a total of 12 hours a week over 12 weeks. The workshops and other activities, including reviews of work in progress, are an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by regularly and actively participating in activities and discussions are considered to be one of the key learning outcomes of the course.
Learning Activities Summary
No information currently available.
Specific Course Requirements
Attendance and participation
Students are required to attend all lectures and computer lab sessions; attendance will be based on the number of completed exercises during the lab sessions.

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.

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.
