Assessment Detail

Attendance and Participation

Students are expected to attend 100% of forums. 5% will be deducted from each semester’s final mark for every unexplained absence. Participation means: taking part in any practical activities in workshop time; asking questions of presenters; engaging in discussions; providing feedback to presenters; taking part in any scheduled presentations or performances; NOT reading email, Facebook, etc during class time.

1. Individual Presentations

Individual presentations are limited to 10 minutes and will normally involve the presentation of only one work/presentation. Presenters are expected to be able to articulate ideas and processes clearly and be able to answer questions. Written documentation of the presentation (300 words) is required to be submitted on MyUni by 12.00 Monday following the oral presentation at latest. Presenters should be organised so that no time is wasted searching for files, trying to get CDs to play, etc.

There are two kinds of presentation: research presentations, and presentations of the student’s own work . For presentation of own work, clear, well organised presentations are essential – describing the creative rationale behind the presentation, the process by which it was realised, and a critical evaluation of the outcome. For research presentations, multiple sources must be researched (not just Wikipedia) and the presentation must be concise, organised and display critical insight into the research topic. Students will be given their research topic (or area of research) well in advance of the presentation.

2. Performance Presentations

Performance presentations are group presentations to develop and perform music using contemporary technology, conventional instruments and other sound sources as appropriate. Assessment will be based on creative content of the finished presentation, efficient management and delivery of the performance, oral presentation and the ability to articulate ideas and processes. Under normal circumstances a mark will be given equally to all members of the group, unless there is obvious inequality in individual contributions.

All students are expected to attend and take part in the end-of-semester performance.

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.

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.
