SOCSCI 4003 - Honours Social Science Thesis

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2025

This course is dedicated to the development and writing of the Honours thesis. It supports students to draw on and apply key theoretical and methodological learnings offered in the first semester of study in the Honours program to dedicatedly and methodically produce the thesis. Students are provided with a supportive context in which to, week by week, present, receive critical feedback on, and produce draft versions of chapter work. Thereafter, students produce the final versions of their chapters, produce orienting materials, such as the abstract, the table of contents, and attend to matters of crucial detail, such as the technically correct production of the bibliography, the error-free production of the substantive text, setting out of images, and the workshopping and selection of a thesis title. The student?s supervisor serves as the main orienting authority in this work, ensuring that all these elements manifest well within disciplinary conventions and expectations.

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.
