  • 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


    a.       Critical analysis (1500 words)                                          40%                       Learning Objectives: 1,2

    b.       Creative/research project class presentation                  10%                       Learning Objectives: 3,4

    c.       Creative/research project final submission                       50%                       Learning Objectives: 3,4

    Assessment Detail


    1.     A critical analysis of a significant work of literature, poetry, music, visual art, performance art or other art form, relevant to this course. It is recommended that this critical analysis focus on an in-depth study of a single work (e.g. a poem by Ted Berrigan, a song by Bob Dylan, a film by Ken Jacobs), rather than a superficial analysis of a larger work (e.g. an entire album by Bob Dylan, a
    poetry collection by John Ashbery). An exception might be made when a series of works is closely related (e.g. painting of soup cans by Andy Warhol.) (1500 words).
     

    2.   A creative project (e.g. musical work, film, poetry, interdisciplinary art, visual art, conceptual art) on a relevant theme, accompanied by an exegesis of c. 1500 words; the details of the project are to be negotiated with the course co-ordinator. The exegesis must contain a description of the sources of inspiration for the work, frame of reference, structural or formal considerations, and methodology.

     

          OR: A research project in an area relevant to this course: Essay: 3500 words.

     

    All student creative and research projects must be presented in class in Weeks 11-
    12. The work may be presented in a draft or incomplete form at this stage.

     

     

    Submission
    All work is submitted online, unless by prior arrangement. Alternative forms of submission are possible where file size or the nature of the project require it.

  • 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.
