TEACHING & LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Course materials are to be explored during the lecture and tutorials. Classes will be held weekly commencing the week beginning Monday 3 March. Workshops (computer) will be held in weeks 5 to 9, during which no tutorials will be held. Note that all scheduled teaching (lectures, tutorials and workshops) and participations in these activities are essential to your learning and success in this course.

MyUni: It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to always check the course on MyUni regularly as all important Course-related announcements will be communicated via this means. Course notes and assignments must be downloaded from MyUni. Please download relevant course notes in advance (before the lectures/tutorials for the related subject). No other handouts will be given during the lectures or tutorials, except for some materials that cannot be uploaded to/downloaded from MyUni.

Email: Check your student email REGULARLY (daily) as course-related announcements are also communicated via email. Note that the only ways of communicating announcements in this course are via email and MyUni. It is assumed that students will always read their email and course announcements, and no such excuse as: “I haven’t read my email” will be accepted. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to always check your email and course announcements.

Discussion Board: Individual e-mail communication about course issuesWILLNOT BE responded to by teaching staff. Students with any questions regarding the course must post these on the Course Discussion Board. This will be monitored by teaching staff and queries responded to within 2-working days (not over weekends). Only personal matters, not course-related issues, can be communicated by email to the Course Coordinator.

Recorded Lectures: Although most lectures will be recorded, students are expected to attend the lectures they will better engage with the materials when involved in the class discussions, which often occur during lectures. Note also that Pop Quiz (i.e. unannounced quiz) happens during lectures.

WORKLOAD

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.

 
See Weekly Time Table avaialble on MyUni.

Failure to attend teaching due to medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances is dealt with the School Policy, administered by the School Office. Submit the appropriate application for supplementary consideration together with the original signed medical or other relevant officer, to the School Office. If you foresee a problem contact the Course Coordinator BEFORE the problem actually occurs. Otherwise, contact the Course Coordinator as soon as possible and submit the appropriate application for supplementary consideration to the School Office.

Attendance at tutorials, seminars, practical work and studio sessions is taken into account in decisions about offering Replacement/Additional Assessment and/or examinations. Students who regularly do not attend sessions and do not carry out the associated work may be precluded from and regarded as having failed the course.

ALL ASSESSMENTS ARE SUMMATIVE:


Assignment 2: 25%   G  Building Analysis Report
Assignment 3: 30%   I   Technological explorations
Assignment 4: 30%   I   Final Submission

See Individual Assignment Sheets.

When the assignments are to be presented during a tutorial, students must arrive and submit their work at the beginning of the tutorial. Students who arrive later than 10 minutes after the tutorial commences will not be allowed to present and will receive 0 mark.

See Individual Assignment Handouts available on MyUni or in the Course Reader.

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.

Feedback for in-class submissions will only be available during the tutorial as oral critique in the style of studio wall-crits. Students should arrange with peers to make notes for reference.

All assignments must be submitted at the time and place as indicated above. Note that NO LATE submissions will be accepted unless it is due to illness and other accepted circumstances as explained in the School's Student Handbook.

As with the School Policy, students are allowed to improve and resubmit a piece of work that receives a Fail grade or below, for a maximum mark of 50 (P). 
 
Submissions:

(General)

· All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number.

· Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.

· In addition, all assigments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.

· 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.

 
Early Submission:

· There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

 
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:

· The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%. However, this does not apply to the Class Test or Quiz as this is exempt from this rule. The deadline for all re-submissions is 12pm on Friday 14 June 2013.

 
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 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.

 
For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Assessment Task Extension(s) & Additional Assessment guidelines. 

 

Modified Arrangements
