Learning Resources

Required Resources

Learning resources from a number of other courses on the Master of Property program are relevant as this is a courses which seeks to synthesise knowledge and skills across the program. Resources specific to the study location will be collected and provided on the course MyUni site by the course co-ordinator. Much of this latter material is likely to consist of market data and economic reports which are published by government and industry rather than pure academic resources such as journal articles and text books.
Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

The learning and teaching mode is an intensive active project carried out in an unfamiliar location. It requires students to apply property research and appraisal concepts and skills already developed in the program to a novel situation. The project focuses on a development solution for a specified site or sites in an international location. Students will carry out some preparation for the project before departure (see below) but the majority of the work will be undertaken in an intensive period of a few days with appropriate tutor support available on a regular basis.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Students are required to attend pre departure preparation workshops. These may be delivered face to face or virtually via the MyUni portal. One assignment deliverable is required pre departure. The project work itself will be scheduled as an intensive residential block over 6-8 days.
The time allocation should reflect the assessment weighting in the schedule below.

Learning Activities Summary

Essential information on property specific research and approaches to development appraisal are provided in a range of courses namely PROP 7005 Introduction to Property and Valuation, PROP 7001 Property Research and Marketing, ECON 7200 Principles of Economics, PROP 7000 Development & Construction. Students are asked to apply this range of knowledge in the project which forms the central component of this course. Essentially, this course consists of “learning by doing”, applying a broad range of conceptual knowledge and practical skills to a development project in an unfamiliar context. Students will work intensively over a period of several days with tutor support and input from local practitioners and academics to address the development problem specified.

Specific Course Requirements

You need to have successfully completed PROP 7000 and have completed at least 24 units of study in the Master of Property

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 Detail

Assignment 1: A property market report on the country/ city here the project will take place. This should specify and use a variety of sources to identify specific risks, rewards and opportunities relating to property development in the specified location. This is an individual piece of work which should be presented in report format (maximum 2000 words) before departure for the project destination.

Assignment 2: This consists of a group oral presentation delivered on site at the end of the project field study. It should build on assignment 1, utilising a structured, highest and best use approach to present a costed and fully justified design solution for the designated site, in the target international location.

Assignment 3: This is an individual summaryreport ( maximum 1000 words) which relates to the group presentation outlined in Assignment 2. It should consist of an executive summary style report of the entire project. The assignment should be delivered within 2 weeks of returning from the project location.

Submission

All work should be submitted electronically using the course MyUni site. Students should ensure that work is submitted on time on or before the due date
Late work will not be marked.
Extensions will be granted for valid reasons such as illness but these must be arranged with the course co-ordinator before the submission deadline.
Where appropriate, Harvard referencing conventions should be used.

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.
