Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
One one-hour lecture per week: Weekly lectures will introduce students to the idea of Modernisms and to important contextual material and critical debaes pertaining to specific texts. Lectures will be recorded and posted on MyUni to facilitate access for students with clashes and to enable deeper engagement with the material for all students, including those from non-native speaker backgrounds.
One two-hour seminar per week: Weekly seminars will be devoted to in-depth discussion of lecture content, and to close reading and discussion of the set texts. Student presentations in small groups will allow students to develop their own interpretations, and to develop their leadership and collaborative abilities. This will facilitate greater involvement of all students and build confidence in speaking in class. Students will have maximum opportunity to articulate their thinking and to learn from each other.
Writing tasks will develop students' analytic and interpretive skills and facilitate research capacity, while allowing them to absorb and reflect on course content.Workload

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
Assessment task weighting:
Close reading task 1000 words (35%)
Class presentation & participation 500 word equivalent (15%)
research Essay 3,000 words (50%)
Assessment Detail
A close reading exercise of 1,000 words will require students to perform a close analysis of a selected passage. Students will be offered a choice of passages from set texts. This will be set early in the semester to allow students to get early feedback on their work. (35%)
In small groups, students will prepare a 15 minute presentation to deliver to the class on a selected topic related to the set text of the week, and will prepare questions for class discussion, which they will manage. This is the equivalent of 500 words per student, and the PowerPoint will be submitted via MyUni for marking. (15%)
Students will write a 3,000 word essay on a set text in response to set questions, drawing on relevant scholarly materials. (50%)Submission
Submission of all work is via the online portal on MyUni, and will be processed via the anti-plagiarism and AI detection Turnitin software.

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.
