Assessment
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 Summary
Group Seminar Presentation 20%: Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7
Critical Survey 30%: Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8
Research Essay 40%: Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
Participation 10%: Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4
Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.
Only one assessment task is materially affected: group research presentations (20%). These have been pushed back a week to allow for time to get used to the new teaching and learning arrangements. While there will be a group component in terms of collaboration around tasks, individual students will write up their contribution and the 20% will be attached to this individual part of the assessment, which will include a reflection on working with the group.
Other minor amendments include moving the quick quiz originally scheduled for week 4 to week 5, and making it available for longer.
If you chose the creative option in the Major Assessment task, and what you produce is a physical object (eg: a painting, a sculpture, an arrangement of physical objects) rather than a text (eg: short story, play, dialogue) then you can submit photos of it. A written exegesis must also be submitted electronically.
The Critical Survey (30%) remains unchanged in terms of submission date (13 April 2020).
The due date for the Major Assessment Task (40%) is now 12 June 2020.Assessment Related Requirements
Students must attempt all assessment requirements / all assessment items in order to pass the course. Other assessment related requirements will be able to be found in the Department of English and Creative Writing Policies and Procedures, and the relevant Course Guide.

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.
