    Workload

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

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

    A student enrolled in a 6 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend a total of 300 hours on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g. approx 280hrs work placement), as well as non-contact time (e.g. 20hrs for preparation for placement and completing the required assessments).
    Learning Activities Summary
    The STEM internship course will be an excellent opportunity for students to strengthen and build employability skills such as communication, time management, problem solving and resilience. Self-directed online activities and this first assessment task, an introductory video, will assist students in preparing for their work placement. During the work placement students will prepare either a technical report, portfolio or diary (depending on their discipline) and finally students prepare and submit a personal reflection once their 280hrs of work placement is complete. Finally, students will submit an updated CV formatted according to their discipline (including details of their internship work placement). This course is largely a self-directed and self-managed work integrated learning experience.
    Specific Course Requirements
    Students must apply for a suitable internship as advertised on Career Hub or organise their own work placement and contact the internship team for assistance in establishing the placement.

  • 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.

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.
