  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    Students onsite must bring earphones and/or the ability to connect with the online class (laptop or tablet or mobile phone).

    Students will be researching and resourcing core materials, so there is no required text.

    Recommended Resources
    Will be found in the Reading Room on MyUni.
    Online Learning
    Business Data & Cyber Security is run on heutagogical principles, and is very much a research-based course, so there will be considerable online activity both in class and out.

    This is a mixed cohort class. That means there will be students attending both onsite and online only (from many time zones) simultaneously. Reminder - onsite students must bring earphones to class. As classes are delivered simultaneously to students on campus in Adelaide and to students with only online access, many classes and sessions will be delivered online. On-campus students
    must check schedules and watch announcements for sessions and classes when the academic will be online only and not in the classroom. On such occasions on-campus students are free to attend the online sessions in the class lab which remains reserved for the class as scheduled, or join online.

    When possible, sessions will be recorded. However – occasionally recordings fail. As much of the content is acquired through team research, presentation, discussion, and sharing - for the most part, online recorded sessions will not be very satisfactory replacements for live attendance, whether on-site or online.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    BDCS will be taught in time blocks that will (usually) be comprised of 2-3 separate components each week of guest speakers, teaching teams, interactive lecture/workshop, and tutorial/computer lab.

    The time blocks within the 3-hour seminars are flexible, adjustable for guest speakers, and therefore erratic and unpredictable. When possible, the class will run as closely to 3 x 50 mins sessions with 10-minute breaks as can be managed - but this usually does not happen.
    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 means that students are expected to commit approximately 12 hours per week to this course (including class time and the research, collaboration, online, & study time outside of your regular classes).
    • Students are required to attend all class sessions.
    • Students are required to complete class preparation (posted in MyUni) before the start of class.
    • A considerable proportion of this course will be in team-mode. It is recognised that outside commitments can mean that team-work is challenging in terms of compatible scheduling, but much of the teamwork can be managed online, so full participation in out-of-class teamwork is expected.
    Learning Activities Summary
    The 12-week schedule is extremely flexible and subject to sudden changes, depending on availability of guest speakers. Therefore, the following is only a loose guideline, indicative of topics, but not necessarily of the order in which they will be worked. A more accurate - but still flexible - schedule can be found in the course MyUni site.

    Each of the 12 weeks will incorporate, as learning activities, a combination of some or all of:
    • Guest speaker
    • Teaching Teams
    • Workshop
    • Research and problem-solving activities
    • Class discussion and debate.

    Specific Course Requirements
    As this class has a mixed cohort (simultaneous on-site and online students),
    • onsite students are expected to bring earphones or other means of being able to communicate with online classmates from the class lab;
    • all cohorts are expected to make the extra effort required to communicate across technological and other challenges, including consideration for students in other time zones.
    There is an extremely challenging administrative maangement load in this course, and students are required to carefully read provided instructions and course advice before contacting a course academic for information already supplied. ie:

    Before contacting a course academic with a question:
    • Read the course outline.
    • Read the assessment descriptions.
    • Read the rubrics (all the cells).
    • Read all announcements as they arrive.
    • Check the FAQ section.
    • Check past announcements.
    • Check the Discussion Boards: Course Admin and Social.
  • 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 Related Requirements
    This course has a strong focus on collaboration without collusion.

    Collaboration (working with others, seeking help from others, helping others, using materials and sources from others - including publications, online material, classmates...) is encouraged so long as it is acknowledged.
    Collusion (using other person’s work or help, unacknowledged, with or without their consent) is considered cheating, plagiarism, dishonourable, and deserving of a Fail grade.

    Please collaborate. Acknowledge all collaboration and sources.
    Do not cheat or collude.

  • 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.
