Course Learning Outcomes

1	Demonstate an awareness of the physical and chemical properties of packaging materials and how these affect the 'shelf life' of wine.
2	Understand the principals of filling machines and make correct decisions in matching filling machine types to particular wine types
3	Demonstrate an awareness of modern packaging materials & products including containers, closures & bottle decorations.
4	Understand how to prepare a wine for final packaging and have an awareness of how to treat difficult or problem wines prior to packaging.
5	Understand how modern bottling lines are prepared, operated, monitored and shutdown.
6	Understand how taints can be caused in wine, how agrochemical maximum residue limits are derived for wine and how taint contaminants and agrochemical residues are assayed in wine
7	Understand and accept quality management disciplines, techniques and attitudes and how they apply and are increasingly being applied to the wine industry.

Learning & Teaching Modes

Lectures and practicals.

Workload

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

A full-time student should expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hours per week on
their studies. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g.
lectures, tutorials, practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g. reading and revision).
For a 3-unit course, the expected workload would be, on average, 12 hours per week.

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.

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.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
