HIST 3034 - Migrants and the Making of Modern 最新糖心Vlog

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2025

The Tampa crisis, widespread fears of 'people smuggling', and the revelations about the condition of asylum seekers in detention centres ignited debates about 最新糖心Vlog's immigration policy and the way that we treat refugees. There is a perception that 最新糖心Vlog has already 'done its bit' in generously accepting waves of displaced persons and refugees since World War II, and that further large-scale intakes will destabilise the 最新糖心Vlogn economy and threaten our 'way of life'. Yet others argue that 最新糖心Vlog's post-war Displaced Persons Scheme was self-serving and oriented towards sourcing cheap labour for dangerous public works projects, and that while 最新糖心Vlog opened its border to Asians and East-Europeans for the first time our preference was always for British migrants who continued to constitute the overwhelming majority of new arrivals. From this perspective the 最新糖心Vlogn government's current stringent migrant and refugee intake quota simply reflect the continuation of a long-standing and generally hard-hearted immigration policy. We will examine these different points of view, alongside the testimony of migrants and refugees who left behind everything and everyone they knew to make a new life in 最新糖心Vlog. The course examines a range of other issues and debates concerning migrants in 最新糖心Vlog, beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing until the present day.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Lectures will be recorded and made available on MyUni each week. Watching/listening to these lectures is essential because they provide the context for the tutorial discussions and introduce themes and personalities that you will encounter in the more sophisticated tutorial readings (i.e. they are closely entwined with the tutorial program). The final quiz will also be based on information provided in the lectures.

    Participation in tutorials (one per week) is a compulsory component of the course. You must attend at least 80% of tutorials to qualify to pass the course (unless a medical certificate is provided). Please inform your tutor prior to the tutorial if you are unable to attend. It will generally be possible to attend a 'make-up' tutorial in another time-slot.

    Please note:
    Lectures AND tutorials begin in Week 1 of semester.
    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.

    Students will need to devote approximately 12 hours per week to this course (divided over 12 weeks of study). This consists of watching/listening to the lectures and participating in a one-hour tutorial each week, as well as approx. 9 hours per week of independent study, during which time students will prepare for tutorials and work on assignments.

    Please note that the standard workload for a 3-unit course in the Faculty of Arts is designed on the assumption that all learning and assessment activities (including lectures, tutorials, preparatory work, research and writing of assignments etc.) will require approximately 156 hours.

  • Assessment

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

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

    Assessment Summary
    There are three assessment tasks for this course. The group project will give you an opportunity to make some new friends, test your creativity and enhance your skills in oral communication. The research essay will develop your skills in critical analysis, evaluation of evidence and written communication. The final quiz will test knowledge gained throughout the course, with questions derived exclusively from the lectures. Students who work consistently throughout the semester, reading widely and attending classes, will be rewarded in the final quiz.

    1. 2,500 word research essay

    2. Student choice, either:

    (a) Organised debate between teams (to be presented during tutorial time); or
    (b) 2,000 word critical analysis of two academic texts (an individual written assignment)

    3. One or two short-answer quizes
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Discussion of the lecture material and tutorial readings constitute the core learning activities in this course. Due to the importance placed on tutorial discussions – where students will have the opportunity to problem-solve and test what they understand - students must attend 80% of tutorials in order to qualify to pass the course. Make-up tutorials are generally available for students who cannot attend the odd tutorial (i.e. due to a family emergency or illness).
    Assessment Detail
    There are three assessment tasks for this course. The first offers students a choice: to join a group and participate in an organised in-class debate or to write a critical review of two texts. The group project will give students an opportunity to make some new friends, test their creativity and enhance their skills in oral and visual communication. The second task is the research essay, which will develop students' skills in critical analysis, evaluation of evidence and written communication. The final quiz will then test knowledge gained throughout the course, with questions derived mainly from the lectures.

    1. Research Essay

    Students are required to write one 2,500-word research essay, based on both primary and secondary sources. You may choose from a list of topics (to be provided), or devise your own question with the approval of your tutor.

    2. Student Choice - either (a) or (b) detailed below:

    (a) In-Class Group Debate
    Students will form teams of 3 members and have 2-3 weeks to prepare an argument 'for' or 'against' a proposition relating to a historical issue. Teams will then present their argument in the form of an Oxford-style debate to take place during tutorial. For example, if the statement is 'The policy of multiculturalism has failed in 最新糖心Vlog', individuals on one team will take turns in making arguments in agreement with this statement and they will be opposed by a team disagreeing with them. Students will be assessed on the basis of the logic and validity of their argument, their use of examples to support their points, their level of organisation and team-work, and their ability to communicate with passion and persuasion.

    (b) Critical Review of Two Texts
    Students who choose not to participate in the group project will write a 2,000-word critical review of two seconary source texts selected from the reading list corresponding to a tutorial topic. One of them must be a book. Students are required to read the texts in their entirety before the applicable tutorial. Students are advised to discuss their text choices with their tutor and must not choose 'primary sources' (such as memoirs) or edited collections of essays as any of their texts.

    In writing their critical review, students should consider the following points:

    1. What do the authors argue?
    2. How do the authors deal with opposing arguments?
    3. What types of evidence do the authors use to construct their arguments? Is this evidence convincing? What evidence do the authors ignore?
    4. Are the authors influenced by a particular theory or methodological approach? Is this approach warranted?
    5. Are the authors' arguments convincing? (You should assess this by comparing the different arguments and evidence presented by each author. You might also consult 2-3 other texts on the same topic.)
    6. What special tricks or strategies do the writers employ to make their points? These strategies may include the organisation of the text and the choice of language and examples.

    3. Quiz

    The quiz will consist of short-answer questions. They will be based entirely on content delivered in the lectures. Thus students regularly watch the lectures and review their notes will be rewarded.

    To help students prepare for the quiz, an online wiki will be created where students can post questions that they think might be asked. The course coordinator will occasionally 'cull' these questions to eliminate the implausible ones. A portion of the quiz questions will then be selected from the suggested questions that remain.
    Submission
    Essays must be submitted on/before the due date. A record will be kept of the date of submission. Instructions about how and where to submit will be given when the essay questions are distributed. Short extensions might be granted on the grounds of hardship or illness, but students will need to apply to the tutor in writing (with medical certificate or other evidence) and in advance of the due date. Students requiring a longer extension need to submit the relevant form to the School office (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/mod_arrange.html) at least five days prior to the due date for the assignment.

    Late Submission
    The Department of History has adopted a standard policy for assessing assignments that are submitted late. For work that is late without formal extension, 2 marks will be deducted from the percentage mark for every day the work is late (including weekends and public holidays). For example, an assignment that is 3 days late: raw score of 80% - 6 marks lateness deduction = 74% final mark. For students who have been granted an extension, this policy will apply from the extended due date.

    Essays will only be accepted for 7 days after the due date. After this time, the mark of zero will be recorded.
    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.

  • 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.
