  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Seminars are 3 hours each week.  The classes will be a mix betweeen discussion, class exercises and/or student presentations along with the presentation of a new topic by the lecturer.  Students in this course are expected to attend all classes throughout the trimester. 

    Students will be expected to have reviewed the topic to be discussed and attempted any set questions/exercises prior to each seminar.  There is a strong assumption that students will engage in seminar discussions in an informed way as class participation is a major aspect of the learning experience. As some students are offshore due to COVID 19, there will be a participation question each week they can send through by the required deadline on the MyUni site to gain participation marks. 

    Students will be involved in a marketing simulation exercise and must be prepared to fully participate in a a group in order to make ongoing strategic decisions.

  • Student Feedback

    The University 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 University 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.
