PLANNING 7035 - Planning Theory and Practice

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

This course presents and analyses the development of planning theory over the twentieth and twenty first centuries. It seeks to provoke a process of reflection on the scope and purpose of planning by contrasting the development of thinking about the fundamental purpose of planning and how it should be carried out in practice. This reflection leads in turn to a discussion of the ethics of planning practice which includes a range of practical scenario situations which students must address in interactive and role playing sessions.

  • Learning Resources
    Recommended Resources
    Please refer to MyUni for details of recommended readings and
    websites

    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

    最新糖心Vlog Email:
    The school uses the 最新糖心Vlog email system to get in touch with the students.
    So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date
    with any new announcements.

    MyUni:
    MyUni is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate
    information regarding the course including details of assignments and interim
    grades. There are many other learning resources and assessment pieces that
    rely on the MyUni system for delivery. Therefore it is recommended that you
    familiarise yourself with the various functions of MyUni and employ it to its
    fullest extent. https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

    Discussion Board:
    The MyUni Discussion Board can be used to interact with other students and
    tutors and is an essential tool to discuss information and increase your
    understanding of issues.

    Lecture Recording:
    In certain cases the recording of the lectures is made available in electronic
    format for students to listen through on their own time and make notes, and is
    provided through the MyUni system. However, this service is only available for
    lectures with essential course content and may not include guest lectures.
    Furthermore, where the presentation content is subject to copyright or the guest
    speaker is uncomfortable with the recording of the content, the lecture
    recording will not be made available online. So students should not rely
    solely on this mode of learning and arrange to attend or get lecture content
    from peers.

    Noticeboard / Handbook:
    General information about the activities at the School is available online
    from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    Weekly lectures followed by tutorials which explore issues raised in the lectures. These will be based on defined readings and exercises relevant to the lecture themes.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    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 (delete as appropriate):


    For a 3 unit course:
    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:  9 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 117 Hrs
     
     
    These  117  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.

  • 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.
