  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course consists of a set of integrated learning activities designed to provide students with the opportunity to achieve the course learning outcomes, in a supportive and relevant context. Activities within this course include online multimedia content, workshops, tutorials, quizzes/assignments, a long term project and an examination. Many of these activities are designed to be participative and directed at problem based learning. This course will set the scene and develop skills necessary for further courses in project management throughout the Bachelor of Construction Management.

    A detailed activity schedule is provided in MyUni (see the course info module) that sets out the specific course activity requirements (i.e. completion of online content, workshop and tutorial activities, assessment items and key deliverables) on a week-by-week basis.


    Workload

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

    Note that 最新糖心Vlog guidelines suggest that the average (full-time) student should spend 48-52 hours per week to achieve a Credit. Consequently, the total workload for this course is 12-13 hours per week (156 hours in total) for an average student to achieve a Credit.

    Learning Activities Summary

    Specific Course Requirements
    The class is structured with online multimedia content instead of formal lectures with material expanded upon and applied in workshop and tutorial sessions. Students are expected to engage with the online material ahead of the relevant activity sessions (see the activity schedule on MyUni) as this is important for participation within the sessions.

    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

    A more detailed breakdown of the specific assessment items is provided below in 'Assessment Detail'.

    Submission
    Submission Format
    All submissions for the course will be electronic through MyUni.

    Deadlines and penalty for late submissions
    Deadlines are an integral part of a project manager's professional life, and the discipline of getting work finished on time is an essential one to acquire.

    The deadline for all submissions will be provided on MyUni at the start of the course. A penalty of 10% per 24 hours (or part thereof) will apply for late submissions (excluding myuni quizzes which will become unavailable at the deadline). Note that multiple attempts are allowed with the quizzes, but the last submission thay you make will be the one that is counted. If the deadline passes whilst the quiz is being attempted, only that portion of the quiz that was completed will be counted.

    Students eligible for special consideration (e.g. elite athletes, students with access plans) are requested to advise the course coordinator as early as possible where alternate arrangements will be required.

    Extension Requests
    You may be eligible for an extension if your capacity to demonstrate your true level of competence has been or will be significantly impaired as a result of medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances. As soon as you become aware that you may not be able to complete the assignment on time, contact your course coordinator. It is expected that you do this well before the due date.

    If you need to request an extension for any of the assessment items you will need to provide justification based on grounds of either medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances and you need to provide documentary evidence (e.g. form signed by Medical Practitioner - the type of evidence required is indicated on the form) to support your case in line with the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy. For guidance on these grounds refer to this page.

    Applications should be supplied on the appropriate, available here, before the assessment deadline. Please email the completed form (i.e. with the required signatures and attached documentation) to your course coordinator for consideration.

    Academic Integrity Policy
    The Academic Integrity Policy applies to all students, and students are advised to be familiar with the policy. Software (e.g. Turnitin) may be used to verify the originality of submissions.

  • 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.
