AGRIBUS 7062A - Research Project Part 2 - Theoretical Frameworks and Research Design

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 2 - 2022

The purpose of the Research Project is to enable students to analyse real-world agribusiness problems or opportunities. The assessment of the Research Project will have oral and written components taking into account the students' workload and participation at workshops organised by the Centre for Global Food and Resources. Students apply and utilise the appropriate conceptual and theoretical models and skills developed through their participation in AGRIBUS 7061 to address the relevant issue or opportunity identified in their proposal. Students will be aligned to an appropriate academic supervisor, and throughout the course students are required to meet regularly with their supervisor to ensure successful completion of the research project. Given the diversity of the project types, subject to the supervisor's approval students can present the project report in the form of a traditional academic paper or a formal business report. Whilst the structure of the Research Project Report can be different between projects, students are expected to follow the guidelines and discuss with their supervisors if a modification of the Report structure is needed.

  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    There are no required resources or readings to complete ahead of this course.
    Recommended Resources
    Not applicable – this will be discussed further in the workshops. See MyUni Research Project guidelines document.
    Online Learning
    Some of the content for this course may be offered online.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This is a continuing course, linked to 7062B – where the assessment for the courses will be due. See 7062B course site for full assessment details.
    The basis for this research project is the proposal completed in AGRIBUS 7061. Students will be assigned supervisors to help guide them through their research project. To meet the requirements for this course, students must meet regularly with their supervisor (and the lecturer if needed) to ensure that they are on track and progressing their research project. Assistance from the supervisor may include advice about research design, writing, presentations and (light) final report editing.
    Workload

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

    Students are expected to attend all workshops and approximately 360 non-contact hours to study the full 9 unit course. It is highly advisable that students engage with the lecturer/supervisor during the trimester in face-to-face meetings aimed at working through the draft proposal and any questions that arise along that process.
    Learning Activities Summary
    As a continuing course, there is no formal assessment for this course. All major assessment will be due in the AGRIBUS 7062B delivery period (usually Trimester 3).
    Specific Course Requirements
    None.
  • 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
    Again, note that all assessment for the course is due in AGRIBUS 7062B (usually in Trimester 3 each year). However, in that teaching period the following assessment will fall due:
    Assessment Task Task Type Length Weighting Learning Outcome
    Written Report Individual 8000 words 70% 1,2,3,4
    Student presentation Individual 10 minutes 15% 1,2,3,4
    Supervisor Assessment Individual Ongoing 15% 1
    Total 100%
    For specific due dates and assessment detail please see MyUni. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they are progressing well toward these assessment goals throughout the AGRIBUS 7062A teaching period, and that they are meeting any supervisor expectations or agreed commitments.
    Assessment Related Requirements
    None.
    Assessment Detail
    See AGRIBUS 7062B course website on MyUni for full assessment details. As a continuing course, the full assessment will be expected as a major part of that course, but where your effort during the teaching period for AGRIBUS 7062A will contribute significantly to your assessment outcomes.
    Submission
    The course is a continuing mode of delivery, and thus all assessment is due in AGRIBUS 7062B (usually in Trimester 3).
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing

    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.

  • 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.
