Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is a research-intensive university, which seeks to develop graduates of international distinction by supporting high quality education. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide provides an environment where students are encouraged to take responsibility for developing the graduate attributes listed below. Achievement of the first two attributes is primarily assessed in an in-class examination which tests analytical thinking, use of evidence, and ability to apply the analysis to assess alternative social and policy outcomes. Additionally, the continuing development of good inter-personal and communication skills is widely recognised as important for all graduates, and this course seeks to develop students’ abilities to make oral contributions, and to write analyses/reports based on site visits and assigned reading material.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Describe the main concepts used to explain the process and present situation of 最新糖心Vlogn and European economic integration.
2. Identify how economic ideas and theories have informed economic policy.
3. Identify and analyse historical developments which enhance our understanding of contemporary economic conditions.
4. Compile and judge relevant quantitative and qualitative information about 最新糖心Vlog-EU economic relations in a range of formats from a variety of sources.
5. Discuss and communicate, in particular present, economic topics in a clear, concise and competent manner.最新糖心Vlog Graduate Attributes

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The course is based on a mix of lectures, tutorials and (during the study tour component) site visits in Paris and Brussels, and both formative and summative assessments.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. This translates to 12 hours per week for a typical 3-unit semester course.
This course is divided into two parts. During the first part, comprising four weeks of face-to-face coursework in Adelaide, students are expected to devote at least 12 hours per week to this course, including attendance at all lectures and tutorials. During the second part, comprising the two week study tour, the workload will be intensive, and will include attendance at all activities as well as after hours student directed study.Learning Activities Summary

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 Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome Mid-semester exam Individual 20% 1,2,3,4 Site visit Report Individual 10% 5 Class participation Individual 10% 5 Research Paper Individual 30% 1,2,3,4 Final Exam Individual 30% 1,2,3,4,5 Assessment Detail
Students are expected to hand in two sets of written work and to prepare for and participate in class discussion.
• One report, of 750-1,000 words, that links your experience on the site visits to the material in the first half of the course. The reports will be discussed in the seminar on Friday 6th December, with added credit for good participation.
• A research paper on a topic to be assigned during the first week of the course.
The final examination requires students to write extended essay-style answers to two questions. The final exam will cover the entire course; wider reading and deeper thinking are likely to be rewarded by higher grades. Students’ work will be assessed on the logical quality of the arguments presented and on their ability to determine which arguments better explain the facts. Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process and may affect marks. Students may NOT take a DICTIONARY (English or English-Foreign) or a CALCULATOR into the examination.Submission

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.
