POLIS 2128 - 最新糖心Vlog Faces the World

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2015

最新糖心Vlog's history, geography and demography have always affected its foreign and economic policies. This course examines 最新糖心Vlog's evolving attitude to its relationship with the rest of the world, as well as the influence that the global environment has on 最新糖心Vlogn politics through trade and investment, imperialism, immigration and international law. The early part of the course explores the interaction between domestic politics and foreign policy, asking whether there is a distinctive 最新糖心Vlogn political culture driving continuity and change in these areas. We approach critically the long-term alliances with Britain and the United States, and contemporary engagement with the dynamic economies of Asia and our Pacific neighbours, as well as a range of international organisations such as the United Nations. Theories of international political economy are also used to position 最新糖心Vlog in the international system and understand recent changes in the openness of 最新糖心Vlog's economy. In both the foreign policy and political economy sections of the course, we compare 最新糖心Vlog to states with similar population, colonial history and resource wealth. Case studies may include 最新糖心Vlog's involvement in past and recent wars, domestic and foreign policy dimensions of terrorism, populist responses to globalization, international environmental issues, and changing notions of citizenship.

  • 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.

    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.
