    Speaker Series:
    The School has a fortnightly lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field deliver a public lecture on contemporary architectural practice. In order to expand your knowledge of contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend these sessions. The exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

    Online Learning


    All course notes are available on MyUni of this course. Students are required to obtain these course materials.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    TEACHING & LEARNING ACTIVITIES

    Course materials are to be explored during the lecture and tutorials. Classes will be held weekly commencing the week beginning Monday 29 February. Workshops (computer) will be held in weeks 4 to 8, 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 issues WILL NOT 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.

    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.

    Learning Activities Summary

     
    See Weekly Time Table avaialble on MyUni.

    Specific Course Requirements

    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.

  • 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 Summary
    ALL ASSESSMENTS ARE SUMMATIVE:

  • 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
  • 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.
