MUSTHEAT 3003 - The Project

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

The Project will consist of either a cabaret project or a theatre project (play or song cycle). The Cabaret Project will consist of individually devised performances from each student. They will create a short (10 minute) cabaret performance to be publicly presented as part of a performance season. Students will participate in workshop and tutorial learning with the Director and Accompanist/MD to curate an original idea/concept and a structure for their cabaret style. Students will develop a distinctive vocal and musical interpretation for 'cover' songs as well as be encouraged to write their own material. Students will write their own 'patter' (script) and shape material in an effective dramatic and/or comedic form. All repertoire for the project will be selected by the students and approved by the supervisors. The Theatre Project will consist of either a fully staged play or a staged version of a song-cycle or smaller musical work. Students will collaborate to technically manage the performance season, including but not restricted to; production and stage management, stage and costume design, lighting, sound and program.

  • 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.
