  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    All resources will be available through MyUni or made available through 最新糖心Vlog portals.
    Online Learning
    All lectures will be conducted on-line to cover important material to assist in project development. These will be supported by regular Zoom sessions with the lecturer. 
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    Lectures will be delivered on-line, pre-recorded and asynchronously, and drop-in and Q&A sessions will be held to support these. Other activities will be held on campus, with a remote option. While the project work is individual, there is emphasis placed on group work and team support as part of the activities. Students will engage wide range of skills, technical and non-technical.

    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    Students are expected to allocate 10 hours per week for study-related activities, with an additional 30 hours in total for the two project assignments. This is a total of 150 hours for the course.
    Learning Activities Summary

    Students will take part in lectures (pre-recorded with interactive support sessions), and workshop sessions on a weekly basis. The workshop sessions will serve to develop skills and provide an opoortunity work on project and assessment related activities.

    Specific Course Requirements
    Despite the lack of formal pre-requisites, students are assumed to be able to code to some extent and have some awareness of information technology. No formal project management or team work experience is required.
  • 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 Summary

    The assessment consists of a number of items, all related to coursework and activities within the course itself. There is no formal examination for this course.

    The main areas of assessment, and their weight towards the final marks, are:

    • Project Specification (30%)
    • Project Implementation (35%)
    • Collaboration (5%)
    • Theory tests (20%)
    • Lecture Quizzes (10%)

  • 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.

    This is the first instance this course so no SELT information 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.
