EDUC 1009 - English Literacy for 最新糖心Vlog

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2023

This course is designed to help improve students' English skills. Students will develop effective self-learning tools in order to take control of their own language learning that will extend beyond the limits of this course. The course focuses on fundamental language skills but is open to both non-native speakers of English and native speakers wishing to improve their language skills. The course will assist students in conducting self-directed learning through reading, writing and listening. Students are free to choose much of their own study material, from their own disciplines of interest, however substantial demonstration of out-of-class study is required and forms a significant component of assessment.

    Specific Course Requirements
    To pass this course, students must attend at least 75% of lectures and tutorials; in cases of absence for medical or compassionate reasons, documentation must be provided and students must still attend at least 50% of classes. If a student attends less than this, they will be deemed to have not submitted one piece of assessment as below, and the ’45 rule’ will apply. If a student fails to attend a class in which in-class assessment is undertaken, alternative arrangements will be made by the lecturer and formative in-class assessments may be counted towards the final result.
  • 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 Related Requirements
    Students must sufficiently attempt all assessment tasks to pass this course. Since the 最新糖心Vlog Preparatory Program is designed to prepare students for success at 最新糖心Vlog, completing and submitting all assignments is central to the intended learning outcomes of the program and each course within it. Often, at least attempting and submitting assignments in the face of difficulty or adversity is enough for success at 最新糖心Vlog and the UPP encourages this resilience by employing this policy in select courses.

    Please note that the absolute last date for the submission of assignments in Semester 2 is the last day of the examination period. Any assignment handed in late without an 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. Assignments handed in more than seven periods late without an authorised extension will not be marked and an automatic fail grade for that piece of assessment will be recorded.

    If a student fails to submit all assessment tasks and would otherwise have received a grade greater than 45, they will be given a nominal grade of 45 (Fail) for that course in that semester. This will permit them to undertake additional assessment (formerly called academic supplementary assessment) at the Course Coordinator’s discretion, as per policy at 9.1.3 at   

    It is not necessary to apply for additional assessment; this assessment will usually consist of the missed pieces of assessment, but the course coordinator may require more. As per policy 9.1.3.3, if the student passes the additional assessment to the Course Coordinator’s satisfaction, the maximum grade they can get for the course is 50 (Pass). If a student’s raw grade is below 45, regardless of whether all tasks have been attempted, this score will stand unless exceptional, documented circumstances apply as per the 最新糖心Vlog’s Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment: /student/exams/mod_arrange.html 
    Assessment Detail

    No information currently available.

    Submission
    All assignments will be electronically submitted via MyUni, although tests will be administered in class and the Portfolio will be submitted via Turnitin on MyUni (including the Interim assessment). A rubric for the Portfolio will be available via Turnitin - you are strongly advised to check this rubric and complete your assignment with the criteria in mind.

    Students may be granted extensions to assignments on medical or compassionate grounds; documentation to support these ground will be required. Requests for extension must be made before the due date; requests for extension submitted after the due date will not be considered. All extension requests must be submitted to the Course Coordinator (Chad Habel: chad.habel@adelaide.edu.au); any extensions granted by the lecturer or tutor will not be considered valid.

    All extension requests will be administered according to the
    Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy:  

    For a concise information sheet on this policy, please visit
     

    Penalties for Late Submission

    Unless the Course Profile states otherwise when an assessment is submitted after the due date, and without an extension, 5% of the total mark possible will be deducted for every 24 hours or part thereof that it is late, including each day on a weekend. For example, an essay that is submitted after the due date and time but within the first 24 hour period, and that has been graded at 63%, will have 5% deducted, for a final grade of 58%. An essay that is more than 24 hours late will lose 10%, etc. Hard copy submissions made after 5.00pm on a Friday will be assumed to have been submitted on the next business day and will be penalised 5% per day for every day including weekend days and public holidays. This penalty may be increased where the assignment is to be completed in a period of less than a week.

    This course aims to return assessed work within 2 weeks of its submission, although this cannot be guaranteed. The resubmission of assignments is not possible for this course, except in exceptional circumstances as approved by the Course Coordinator.

  • 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

    This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

  • 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.
