Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is based on the principles of experiential learning and requires you to be places in the a face-to-face or virtual business environment with workplace supervision and mentoring.
You will also be expected to meet one-on-one with an Academic Supevisor to discuss the nature of the academic project for assessment.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 you are expected to commit approximately 12 hours per week for a 3 unit course (150 hours)
Although for this course some time will be spent in the workplace environment, there is still an expectation for the students to be completing individual study nd meeting with the Academic Supervisor outside of this.Learning Activities Summary
As well as regularly attending the workplace or participating in virtual work-related activities, you must meet with the Academic Supervisor to discuss assessment requirements and tasks.
The academic staff member will be available throughout the duration of the Internship to advise or assist you with academic issues and issues you may face on the workplace.Specific Course Requirements
Students need to work with a host organisation in a formal and structured industry managed work experience program, with a registered organisation. Approval must have been granted from the Faculty of Professions for this work placement to be counted as experiential learning towards their degree.
Should the host organisaton be dissatisfied with the student's performace this will be addressed by the Host and the Faculty giving the student a chance to recitfy their behaviour. Should the unsatisfactory performance continue and The Host decides to terminate the placement before the end date, the student will recieve a Fail grade for this course. -
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.

1. Online Modules
You are required to complete three online modules to demonstrate understanding of industry expectations about professional skills and capabilities and practice of reflection on and critical evalution of one's experience to identify development needs and opportunities.
2. Reflective Journal
Reflective journal will document the activities you have undertaken during the internship, preferably on a weekly basis, as well as key insights and evaluation of your experience in light of international management knowledge and skills. You must identify your cultural values, attitudes and communication style and evaluate how they support or hinder your performance in the workplace; assess your cultural intelligence across its three clusters, identify areas for improvement and devise improvement strategies; discuss critical international management issues or tasks that you faced and how you responded to those; and articulate lessons learned as a result of reflection. You should take weekley notes and use these as a basis for a discussion with the course coordinator during the semester to get feedback and enable you to act on that feedback to prepare your final 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.
