ANIML SC 4040ARW - Advanced Animal Science Pt 1 (Hons)

Roseworthy Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

Students completing this course choose to either complete all requirements of an appropriate Level III course in a similar discipline or another course in a different discipline as approved by the coordinator; or to evaluate a current problem in Animal or Veterinary Science, unrelated to their Honours research project, and to present this in the form of a written literature analysis, research proposal and seminar presentation. This course aims to develop knowledge and skills in a particular discipline area, and to develop the skills required for the practice of independent scientific research.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    Learning and teaching modes will vary depending on which module the students choose. For those students choosing to complete coursework the Learning and Teaching modes will be specific to the chosen course. For students choosing the literature review and research proposal of an Animal Science topic, there are no structured activities. Students work independently to complete this activity. They are assigned an academic mentor, who supervises the process and provides assistance and feedback as required

    Workload

    No information currently available.

    Learning Activities Summary
    The Learning Activities will depend on the module chosen by the student. The Learning Activities for coursework will be dependent on the chosen course. For students choosing the literature review / research proposal of an Animal Science topic there are no structured activities. Students work independently to complete this activity.
  • 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 for students who select the coursework module will be dependent on the chosen course.

    For students who choose the literature review and research proposal module, the below assessment will apply.

    Assessment Detail
    Assessment will be dependent on the module chosen. The assessment for students who select the coursework module will be dependent on the chosen course.

    For students who choose the literature review and research proposal module, the below assessment will apply:

    Literature Review (unrelated topic) (60%)
    The literature review (max 4000 words) should be a critical review of published work. It should state the aim of the review, identify gaps in knowledge and highlight outstanding research questions establishing why research in the project area is important. This task is submitted in April (semester 1 intake) or October (semester 2 intake).

    Research Proposal (unrelated topic) (30%)
    The research proposal (1500 words) should outline a hypothetical project in the student’s area of interest, and include a brief analysis of the literature to provide context for the project. It should formulate hypotheses and experimental aims to address the questions identified in the literature review, and include a description of the experiments that would be performed if this investigation was conducted. Students choose a topic, in consultation with the Honours coordinator, their Honours supervisor and an academic mentor. This task is submitted in April (semester 1 intake) or October (semester 2 intake).

    Seminar (unrelated topic) (10%)
    Each student will present a 12 minute seminar describing the results of their review. Students are assessed on content and structure of the seminar, understanding of the research area, and their oral presentation. Seminars are assessed by all attending academics. This task is submitted in June (semester 1 intake) or November (semester 2 intake).
    Submission
    Late Submission
    If an extension is not applied for, or not granted, then a penalty for late submission will apply.  A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.
