Learning Resources
Required Resources
If any school resources are to be used on your project (e.g. laboratories) you are required to submit Labs and Workshop Work Request Form and supporting documents. These documents should be completed in collaboration with your project supervisor. Details for the resource application are given on MyUni.Recommended Resources
Discuss with your project supervisor.Online Learning
All resources for this course are available on MyUni. All students are required to use MyUni Groups to manage their Research
Projects (or alternative online project management portals, e.g. Teamwork, Asana, Trello etc). MyUni Groups will provide your group with a usable web space to exchange files, communicate to one another and your supervisor through Discussion Boards, and develop collaborative projects through a Wiki.
The recommended uses of MyUni Groups are:
- Discussion Board: use to communicate with your group members and project supervisor
- File Exchange: use to exchange files and store data obtained for your project
- Wiki: can be used for developing the report before the final formatting in Word
- Email: allows easier communication with your supervisor
- Blog: use to clearly illustrate the current roles of each group member and allocated tasks for each week
- Journal: store agendas and minutes for your group meetings -

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.

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.
