OENOLOGY 2505WT - Grape and Wine Production II

Waite Campus - Trimester 3 - 2022

Grape and Wine Production will provide a broad understanding of the principles and practices involved in grape and wine production (viticulture and oenology) and the sensory evaluation of wine (sensory science). Course content will comprise: the environmental requirements for successful viticulture; the vineyard management practices associated with the production of major red and white grape varieties; the winery operations involved in the production of different styles of sparkling wine, red and white table wine, dessert wine and fortified wines; the role of oak in winemaking; packaging; and technology and innovation. Practical sessions, taught via a week-long Residential School held during mid-semester break, will focus on the theory and practice of wine sensory evaluation and consumer-related sensory analysis techniques. The knowledge gained in this course builds on concepts learned in Foundations of Wine Science, Oenology 1018NW (or The 最新糖心Vlogn Wine Industry: Rise of an Icon III, Oenology 3515WT).

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Detail

Online Tutorials

To provide students with feedback on their understanding of and familiarity with the course material, a series of online tutorials (comprising short answer and multiple choice questions based on the specific learning objectives and outcomes of each lecture) will be made available via MyUni. Completion of these tutorials is entirely optional and assessments conducted within these tutorials are formative only.

Online Quiz

Two online tests (one on viticulture and one on oenology,) will be given to enable students to benchmark their familiarity with course content, prior to the final exam, and to afford an opportunity for progressive completion of the course.

Sensory Examination

Sensory examinations (2 x 1.5 hours each) will be conducted during the Residential School to assess students’ ability to: (i) identify important wine attributes and their influence on the taste and smell of wine; and (ii) describe the appearance, smell and taste of different wine types and styles. Sensory exam papers will be promptly assessed to provide students feedback.

Written Assignment

Students will complete a written assignment (1,000 words) evaluating a recent innovation in grape and/or wine production reported in the literature. The assignment will give students an opportunity to develop their research and written communication skills; but more importantly enables students’ comprehension of course content, as well as the extent to which they can analyse and synthesise information, to be assessed.

Written Examination

The final examination will assess students’ knowledge and comprehension of theory presented during the course. A combination of short-answer, true/false, matching and essay-type questions may be used. Past examination papers are available as assessment exemplars and can be accessed via MyUni.

Submission

Students will be expected to submit their written assignment online, using MyUni's TurnItIn (i.e. plagiarism detection software) capability.

Course Grading

Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
Grade	Mark	Description
FNS		Fail No Submission
F	1-49	Fail
P	50-64	Pass
C	65-74	Credit
D	75-84	Distinction
HD	85-100	High Distinction
CN		Continuing
NFE		No Formal Examination
RP		Result Pending

Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Final results for this course will be made available through .

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.

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.
