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
There are three 50-minute Quizzes (1-3), worth 20 % of your final mark and one 100-minute Quiz 4 worth 30 % of your final mark. Quizzes will be closed book and run under examination conditions. Each quiz will cover any of the preceding lectures and tutorials with a similar standard of problem. If you miss quizzes through medical reasons, please come and see me. Your quiz 4 mark should be at least 15 marks of the total 30 marks to pass the course (i.e. you have to pass the quiz 4 separately).Assessment Task Due date Weighting Learning Objectives Quizzes Weeks 4, 6, 9, 12 50% 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Design Project 1 April 20 (Fri) 15% 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Design Project 2 June 1 (Fri) 35% 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Assessment Related Requirements
The design report should consist of:
1. START PAGES: Cover page, contents page and executive summary page of about ½ to 2/3 page that summarises all your important findings, deductions and originality. This is not a synopsis of your report.
2. MAIN REPORT: A MAXIMUM of 12 pages for both undergraduates and postgraduates. This must be self contained ie containing all the important tables and diagrams. You do not include your calculations in this report. You include the results of your calculations. In this report you explain what you have done, why you have done it and you discuss the results and draw conclusions. You use this report for in depth discussion and to bring out the originality of your work. This report should contain your thoughts. Use Times New Roman, font size 12, single spacing, with 2.54 cm margins.
3. HAND CALCULATION PAGES: You need examples of all your different analyses to illustrate to me that you know what you are doing. These must be done in PENCIL and the calculations clearly annotated (ie explained in note form). No page limit.
4. SPREADSHEET ANALYSES PAGES: All repeat analyses can be done using spread sheets. No page limit.Assessment Detail
MARKING DESIGN REPORT:
- First go through the HAND CALCULATION PAGES to determine whether you have done the calculations properly. If there are major errors which suggest you have little understanding, then you will be failed.
- The SPREADSHEET ANALYSES PAGES will then be skipped.
- Then go through your MAIN REPORT. There will be clear explanations of why you have done things, in depth discussion of the results, explanations and reasons of what is happening such as in the parametric studies, and evidence of originality.
- A sequential assessment procedure will be used to mark the report. Examples of the application of the sequential assessment are given in the journal paper ‘Assessment of Deep Learning Ability for Problem Silvers’ in your handouts.
- As an example, each component of your Design report will be assessed as in the table below. Report presentation and clarity will determine mark within a grade. If I am unable to understand, then this will be assumed to be incorrect.
Submission
Hand in Design Report 1 by Friday April 20 2012 before 4pm at pigeon hole for student submission specifically allocated for this project.
Hand in Design Report 2 by Friday June 1st 2012 before 4pm at pigeon hole for student submission specifically allocated for this project.
All late hand-ins will be penalised by reduction in the mark of 6% per day late for up to 7 days including weekends after which a mark of zero will be given.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.
Final results for this course will be made available through .

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.
