  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Due to the intensive nature of this course it is a requirement that participants attend 100% of the scheduled seminars.  Consideration will be given for medical and compassionate reasons for non attendance but supporting dpocumentation will need to be presented with these requests.  if 100% attendance is not met sudents will be ineligible to sit for the exam.  Students in this course are generally also working full time therefore work commitments do not exempt students from this attendance requirement.

    As with all intensive executive style programs students are expected to contribute to all discussions and be positively interactive.  There is a strong assumption that students will engage in seminar discussions in an informed way.
    Workload

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

    Students are required to complete 1 assignment between intensive 1 and intensive 2 for this course as well as set aside time to study for the exam.

  • 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.
