Specific Course Requirements

Knowledge of course requirements:

Attendance and participation is compulsory and all students are expected to complete the School placement, DCSI working with Children approval letter and RAN Training certificate required for placements in schools, attendance to lectures and tutorials. If you cannot attend due to sickness or other valid reason then you must follow this procedure. By week 11, you need to hand to me personally copies of doctor’s certificates for each missed session plus the 500 words of summary to the reading and lecture for each missed session. Put a cover sheet with your name, number and tutorials missed in summary form. Failure to do this will result in you being considered absent.

It is a student’s duty to acquaint himself/herself with course requirements. Misunderstanding of course requirements due to a student’s non-attendance at lectures or tutorials is not an acceptable reason for non-fulfilment of any requirements.

Special Consideration:

Students who wish to seek special consideration because of illness or special circumstances should apply to the lecturer in charge with relevant documentary evidence. This is usually a doctor’s certificate.

Extensions and deadlines:

If due to illness or other valid reasons, a student is unable to meet a deadline, he/she must contact the lecturer before the deadline in order to seek an extension (which may or may not be granted). Students are required to produce original documents to support their application for an extension.
Any assignment handed in late, without authorised extension, will be penalised at a rate of 10% of the assigned mark per 24-hour period late, to a maximum of 7 periods.
Assignments handed in more than seven periods late, without authorised extension, will not be marked and an automatic fail grade for that piece of assessment will be recorded.

Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is “the reproducing of someone else's intellectual work and representing it as one's own without proper acknowledgment”. Examples of plagiarism include: direct copying or paraphrasing of someone else’s words without acknowledging the source; using facts, information and ideas directly derived from an unacknowledged source; and producing assignments which are the work of other people.

Small Group Discovery Experience

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 Related Requirements

Course requirements:

Tutorials:

Each week there are tutorials in which we will discuss the topic and the reading listed for that week. All students are required to read the relevant chapter of their textbook for this and complete the 'Review and Reflect on Your Learning " secion. It is not meant to be another lecture. The success of the tutorials depends on everyone participation and group discussion.

Students must bring along to the tutorial their textbooks and prepare all answers to the above request from the weekly relevant chapter. All participatns are expected to take part and complete the question / answer part to fulfill the course requirements.

Analysis of a Teaching:

It is very important to start planning from day one your topic and to start collecting materials for the writing. The weeks tend to go quickly and before we know it we are running out of time. The writing must meet normal academic and scholarly requirements and will be 1000 words (maximum) in length. Please note that this also includes quotations but not references. All sources and materials used must be referred to in the paper itself and not simply appear in the bibliography or reference list.

Assessment Detail

Details for assessment:

- Double space the lines. Use at least 12 point and a clear and legible font. This makes it easier for the maximum grade to be awarded by staff that wear multifocal spectacles but are otherwise kind and caring, full of compassion, slow to anger and rich in mercy.
- Leave a margin of at least one inch on the left hand side of the paper.
- Use a footer or header with your name, course and page number.
- A title page should be placed at the front of the assignment. This should contain your name, the subject, the title of the assignment, the name of the lecturer concerned, and the date. All assignments must be accompanied by an Essay Cover Sheet, which includes a Statement of Authorship
- Students who wish to submit assignments via the postal system must ensure the envelopes are post marked no later than the due date for submission and are sent by registered mail. Students are advised that the School of Education takes no responsibility for assignments sent by post.
- Assignments will not be accepted for marking after other work in that subject has been returned unless a special consideration request has been approved.
- The completed assignment should be stapled or fastened in the top left hand corner. Please do not use manila or other forms of folders and please do not under any circumstances place each separate page in a separate plastic envelope.
- Keep a hard copy of your essay and other submitted work. Sometimes accidents do happen, mail fails to arrive or computers crash.

Note: Failure to follow these prescriptions will result in a lower mark on the essay.

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.
