  • 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
    Assessment task Assessment type Assessment weighting % Hurdle Requirement Course learning outcomes being assessed
    Quizzes Formative and Summative 2x10% No 1-4
    Case Studies Formative and Summative 2x20% No 1-4
    Group Assessment Summative 20% No 2, 4
    Executive Summary Summative 20% No 1-4
    Assessment Detail
    Quizzes (2x10%)
    The content in the course will be assessed with 2 online quizzes (10% each) which will include multiple choice questions as well as short-answer questions.

    Case Studies (2x20%)
    Students will be given 2 case studies on topics covered within the course to complete individually. The case studies will require the students to investigate a new or emerging trend in food and nutrition science and answer questions using appropriate references.

    Group Assessment (20%)
    Students will be required to work in groups to describe a recent advance in the food and nutrition area to the class. The students can select whether they will develop a video, a pamphlet or presentation. Peer assessment will also be included. Workshop time will be allocated for students to work on this in their groups.

    Executive Summary (20%)
    Students will be asked to write an executive summary of ~1000 words. The summary needs to be written for a broad audience including stakeholders, industry partners, food scientists, nutritionists and government.
    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.

  • 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.
