Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
International trade in agricultural goods and food involves a set of highly specialized business skills with a great deal of variability in expertise from one product to another. Varying from bulk transport of commodities to specialized high-value niche products, each product brings its own challenges and needs and the course looks at the full supply chain for different types of goods.
On successful completion of this intensive course, students will be able to:
1 Appreciate and explain different national models for agricultural production and trade and their implications for the trading system; 2 Understand and interpret special agricultural trade policies and policy instruments; 3 Explain how agriculture and reforms affect economic development and food security – with a special focus on the developing world; 4 Understand how global food processors and retailers manage the supply chain; 5 Understand how value chain analysis can be applied in specific sectoral contexts to help in the identification of export opportunities; 6 Appreciate changing global patterns of consumption and distribution of food and how market access is affected by private standards; 7 Gain an in-depth view into the operations and governance of global markets for food and agriculture; 8 Research the practical applicability of concepts addressed in the course to real life situations in international trade and investment University Graduate Attributes

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.
