The first four weeks of the course provide two x 3 hour intensive applied skills workshops per week in the studios of Radio Adelaide. The next ten weeks of the course consist of a weekly 3 hour supervised on air and online program production session at Radio Adelaide in which small groups of students put a one hour radio program to air. Students are required to complete program content in their own time prior to commencement of the program production session.Small Group Discovery Experience
Program production workshops, in which groups of ten students work in close collaboration with each other and the course coordinator, are at the heart of this course. Students are guided in developing the program format and content for their weekly programs including how to select and research a story, identify news worthiness, find appropriate sources and shape a story for broadcast. These sessions engage students in the intellectual challenge of the scholarship and practice of discovery by fostering the research and communication skills expected of a broadcast professional. -

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.
