Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The course is comprised of 2 hour Lectures and 1 hour Seminars.
Attendance is required at Seminars, and is strongly encouraged at Lectures as this Course has a highly participatory element, exploring how to teach improvising and composing to students in individual instrumental lessons, group ensembles and classroom situtions.
Students will form small groups to engage in improvising and composing activities themselves, learning through 'doing' how to engage students in creative music learning activities.
Examples of participatory music making covered in this course include: improvisation over a set harmonic bass line; improvisation to a given stimulus from another art form (eg. painting/ poem/ story); improvisation to enhance theoretical and technical development; embellishment of a given melody; and composition activities suitable for a range of student ages and abilities.Workload

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.
