    Learning & Teaching Modes
    1 x 2 hour lecture and 1 x 4 hour practical per week

    Students unable to attend face to face practicals can undertake alternative online assignments.

    On the final day of the course, the class will put on an Expo – emerging trends in the food & beverage industry. This expo will take the place of the usual lecture and practical format.
    Workload

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

    A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

    Specific Course Requirements
    Specific Course Requirements:

    This course takes place off-site at Regency Park, TAFE SA, making use of the TAFE specialised facilities and industry expertise in the relevant areas of food production.

    One-day timetabling is used to decrease travel time between campuses.

    Each lecture block is followed by a practical. Students will be divided into 2 practical streams and rotated through a series of practicals over the semester, 1 per week.

    Attendance at practicals and the expo is mandatory

    The lectures prior to the practical sessions provide the theory and concepts required to complete the practical.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Submission
    Hard copies of assignments must be submitted to the Administration office in Corridor 2 of K Block by the date and time that will be specified. Submission dates will always be dates on which lectures are delivered to avoid the need to travel to the TAFE campus on other days. A cover sheet is required and will be provided via MyUni. Assignments will not be accepted more than 1 week after the due date. Students are urged to contact the lecturer by email if they are unable to submit an assignment by the due date. Assignments will not be accepted after 1 week beyond the due date. Assignments are usually marked and returned with model answers 2 weeks after the due date.

    Late submission of assessments
    If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply.  A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.

  • 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.
