MyUni
As an enrolled student, you will have access to the 最新糖心Vlog’s on-line teaching facilities. This is an implementation of the Blackboard system called MyUni. MyUni is accessible from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide’s home-page: www.adelaide.edu.au You will need your student login name and a password.If you do not have access, then either you are not enrolled or the administrators of MyUni do not know of your enrolment.

Please call Ask Adelaide on 8313 5208 (最新糖心Vlog extension 35208) or the IT help desk on 8313 3000 (最新糖心Vlog extension 33000) for assistance with MyUni difficulties.

Course materials will be placed on MyUni. Note also that Announcements about a course are often made on the relevant page of the MyUni site for the course. For example, notifications of a change in lecture venue, updates on availability of course material etc.will be made on the MyUni site.

Email
We assume that students access e-mail and that their address is the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide student address that was assigned on enrolment. This is of the form: firstname.lastname@student.adelaide.edu.au

A notice to a student by e-mail is considered to have been received and read by the student unless there is a transmission error and the postmaster bounces the message back to us. As discussed above, the Announcements page of the MyUni site for this course will also display relevant notices from time to time, so it is essential that students check their student e-mail and to log on to MyUni regularly.

This course is one where independent research is undertaken under the guidance of a supervisor, with whom the student meets fortnightly.

Where a student has not sufficiently acquired specific skills that support efficient research (e.g. search strategies, organising data) they will participate in appropriate workshops or on-line learning, early in their period of enrolment.

Dissertation Parts 1 and 2 are both 6 unit courses, each equivalent to a half-time enrolment of one semester (i.e., generally 20 hours per week over an extended semester of five months).  

Students who undertake a research project involving children or people who are ill, elderly, or vulnerable, are now required to demonstrate clearance by producing a criminal history check, obtained through a Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI check). International students may be required to obtain a certificate from their home country.

Plan of professional activities: Students will write a brief plan of the activities they will undertake for 5 hours of professional activities related to counselling, counselling research, and career development.

Professional activities log/reflection: Students will engage in 5 hours of counselling activities demonstrating skills in leadership, career readiness or competencies related to counselling and public health. They will keep a log of these activities (with evidence), and write, a 500-600 word reflection of these experiences, and how they have contributed, or will contribute to their practice as a health professional.

Oral presentation: Students will present a 15 minute summary of their research project including background, hypotheses/research questions, approach/methodology, results, and conclusions.

Journal article/dissertation: The outcome of the student research activity may be submitted either as a (i) manuscript suitable for submission to an appropriate peer-reviewed journal (some supporting material may be requested to best demonstrate the acquisition of research skills), or (ii) dissertation of 12,000 – 15,000 words (as negotiated with the course coordinator).

All assessment tasks should be submitted via MyUni.

All assessment pieces must be submitted by the specified time on the agreed due date. You should retain a printed copy of the assignment submitted. Feedback will be provided on the marked assessment pieces.

Extensions
All extensions for assignments must be requested, at the latest, by the last working day before the due date of submission.  Extensions will generally be granted only on medical or genuine compassionate grounds.  Supporting documentation must be provided at the time a student requests an extension.  Without documentation, extensions will not be granted.  Late requests for extension will neither be accepted nor acknowledged.

Only the Course Co-ordinator(s) may grant extensions.

Supporting documentation will be required when requesting an extension. Examples of documents that are acceptable include: a medical certificate that specifies dates of incapacity, a police report (in the case of lost computers, car & household theft etc.), a letter from a Student Counsellor, Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) or Disability Liaison Officer that provides an assessment of compassionate circumstances, or a letter from an independent external counsellor or appropriate professional able to verify the student’s situation.  The length of any extension granted will take into account the period and severity of any incapacity or impact on the student.  Extensions of more than 10 days will not be granted except in exceptional circumstances.

Late submission
Marks will be deducted when assignments for which no extension has been granted are handed in late.

All assignments, including those handed in late, will be assessed on their merits.  In the case of late assignments where no extension has been granted, 5 percentage points of the total marks possible per day will be deducted.  If an assignment that is 2 days late is awarded 65% on its merits, the mark will then be reduced by 10% (5% per day for 2 days) to 55%.  If that same assignment is 4 days late, the mark will be reduced by 20% (5% per day for 4 days) to 45%, and so on.

The School of Public Health reserves the right to refuse to accept an assignment that is more than 7 days late.

Assignments submitted after the due date may not be graded in time to be returned on the listed return dates.

Students submitting examinable written work who request (and receive) an extension that takes them beyond the examination period are advised that there is no guarantee that their grades will be processed in time to meet usual 最新糖心Vlog deadlines.

Resubmission
If a student is dissatisfied with an assessment grade they should follow the Student Grievance Resolution Process (/student/grievance/process/ ).  Students who are not satisfied with a particular assessment result should raise their concerns with Course Co-ordinator(s) in the first instance.  This must be done within 10 business days of the date of notification of the result.  Resubmission of any assignment is subject to the agreement of the Course Coordinator and will
only be permitted for the most compelling of reasons
