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.
SELT feedback from the 2015 iteration of the course was as follows:
Joy McEntee is an effective 最新糖心Vlog teacher: Broad Agreement 89.83%
Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of this course: Broad Agreement 91.53%
Common issues raised by students:
- Some students did not like being assessed as a member of a group
- Some students did not like the creative adaptation exercise
- More discussion of set theoretical readings in seminars and lectures requested by some students
- As working in a group is a graduate attribute, this will not necessarily be eliminated, but peer evaluation may be introduced
- The adaptation exercise will be reviewed and possibly eliminated
- The course will focus on set theoretical readings in a more concentrated way by changing the assessment (adding an annotated bibliography; changing the instructions for the assignment that calls on students to devise seminar discussion questions)

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.
