Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The course is fully flipped. This means that all technical content is delivered by pre-recorded sessions in MyUni. The pre-recorded sessions need to be done in advance of the lectures and tutes. Lecture and tutes then become formative sessions where support in the form of exam type questions/solutions is provided on the learning acquired via MyUni.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The amount of work required in the course should not be underestimated. Students need to be organsied in the manner of their learning and ensure that they understand the application of knowledge. This is particulary relevant for the online deliveries where students need to be proactive with their learning and ensure that they keep up to date.Learning Activities Summary
Introductory Accounting I (or its equivalent) and Business Finance is a co-requisite for this course. Students who have enrolled in Accounting Methods but have not met the prequisites will be unenrolled from Accounting Methods. -

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.
