Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Effectively describe petroleum well drilling and completion principles, including key features of various components, and use these descriptions in appropriate for design, design analysis and evaluations; 2 Understand identify key design parameters, and estimate them appropriately; and solve the relevant problems through analysing, evaluating and synthesising information; 3 Ability to approach problems in a logical way, be able to formulate an optimum solution and decide what data / information is relevant from a range of sources, how these relate to each other and identify inconsistencies; 4 Ability to work as a part of the team through successful completion of a group project; 5 Ability to work clearly and concisely, and be able to communicate findings in a variety of ways (on paper, electronically).
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia . The course develops the following EA Elements of Competency to levels of introductory (A), intermediate (B), advanced (C):

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
5 tutorial sessions (10%)
4 practical sessions (10%)
Research project (30%) This includes presentation of the outcome of the project to the classroom.
Final exam (50%) No hurdle is applied.Assessment Detail

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.

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.
