Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course consists of 12 weeks of different types of learning and teaching activities such as seminar style lectures, moderated discussions on the core topics with relevant industrial examples, guest lectures, students’ presentations and project work. There will be 10-12 seminar sessions led/moderated by the main teaching staff. There will be 6 working sessions led/moderated by the teaching assistants. Each student is expected to spend approximately 12 hours on this course (including the hours spent in seminar sessions and working sessions).Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The following information is a guide.
Each student is expected to spend approximately 12 hours on this course (including the hours spent in face-to-face contact with the teaching staff).Learning Activities Summary
This course includes 12 weeks of teaching and learning activities such as seminar style lectures, moderated discussions on the core topics by stduents and the teaching staff with the relevant industrial examples, exercises, guest lectures, students’ presentations, peer evaluation, and project work.Specific Course Requirements
There are no specific requirements except the required prerequisites knowledge and enrolment in the BE (Software) degree program. -
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
Reviewing and presenting assigned article (15%) - Individual assessment but group presentation.
- Quizzes (15%) – Individual assessment.
- Exercises (20%) – Individual assessment.
- Software Requirements Project (50%) – (Group 30% and individual 20% assessments).

Assessment Related Requirements
Hurdle Requirement: If your overall mark for the course is greater than 44 F but, your mark for the software requirements project is less than 40%, your overall mark for the course will be reduced to 44 F.Assessment Detail
Assessment Components
- Reviewing and presenting assigned article (15%) – Group presentation, Individual Assessment – An article will be assigned to a group of students for reviewing and presenting. Each member of a group will critically review the article and write one page summary of his/her understanding of the article (7.5%). Each group will make a presentation (7.5%) on the assigned article; each of the members in the group is expected to actively participate in the presentation and Q&A as the assessment is individual. Each member of the team will be assessed based on the performance in the presentation and Q&A.
- Quizzes (15%) – Individual assessment – The quizzes will be based on the material discussed (or to be discussed) in the class. That means the students are expected to come to class after preparing the material that is going to be discussed in the class. There will three quizzes without any prior announcement.
- Exercises (20%) – Individual assessment – There will be take home (or in class) exercises based on the material discussed in the class or other relevant material/tasks assigned by the teaching staff. There will be four exercises.
- Software Requirements Project (50%) – (Group 30% and individual 20% assessments) – This assessment will be a multi-phase activities in which the students will be working on a requirements engineering project that would purport to elicit, specify, validate, and model software requirements.
Submission
Work will be submitted by the MyUni site for the course and hardcopy submission in some instances.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.

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.
