Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course has three contact activities: lectures, practicals and workshops. Each of these activities is used to support and build on each other, they do not repeat material.
Lectures will be used primarily to introduce the core theoretical material of the course - these will be recorded online in echo 360 shortly before each lecture session. A live structured Q&A session will be held to review content and answer questions.
The practicals are focussed on developing core programming skills in C++ both individually and collaboratively. They will include a small number of individual practical exams. You should also spend a significant amount of time on programming outside of these sessions.
The workshops are hands on collaborative sessions with groups of students sharing computers working on activities that may reinforce lecture material or introduce key skills required by the practicals.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Students are expected to spend 10-12 hours per week on this course.
There will be 5-6 hours contact time for learning and teaching activities and students will be working in groups and individually 3-5 hours to carry out the required learning and teaching activities for acquiring the expected knowledge, understanding, and skills in this course.Learning Activities Summary
The topics covered will include:
- Basics of Computer Architecture
- Arrays and Pointers
- Programming Languages, Grammars, Compiling
- Object Oriented Design
- Classes, Objects, Inheritance
- Abstract Classes, Polymorphism
- Planning, Design
- Solving Problems with OOP
- C++ templates and STL
- Static Members
- Exception Handling
- Debugging

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 Related Requirements
Hurdle Requirement: If your overall mark for the course is greater than 44 F but, your mark for the final written exam is less than 40%, your overall mark for the course will be reduced to 44 F.Assessment Detail
Individual practical exams will take place in the practical sessions of weeks 3, 5, 7 and 12. Marks for each practical exam will be awarded by GradeScope, the web submission system, based on functionality.
In the workshop of weeks 4, 6 and 8, the previous week's practical will also be marked by practical demonstrators who will be able to give some individual feedback. No marks will be awarded if no one in a group attends the workshop in which the additional assessment takes place.
All other practicals can be undertaken individually or in a group of up to three students. A mechanism for registering groups will be provided so that only one student from each group needs to submit the work. Marks for these practicals will be awarded by the web submission system based on functionality.
In the workshop in week 12 the practical covering weeks 8 to 11 will also be marked by practical demonstrators who will be able to give some individual feedback. No marks will be awarded if no one in a group attends the week 12 workshop in which the additional assessment takes place.
Workshops will be undertaken in groups of up to three students. A mechanism for registering groups will be provided for each workshop. Marks for workshops will be awarded by the web submission system based on functionality provided that the submission is made whilst attending a workshop session.
If tutorial submissions are made by the Sunday before each tutorial session, some individual feedback will be provided. Tutorials do not contribute to the final mark for the course.
Small Group Discovery projects will be assessed as a group based on participation, presentations and/or a final report.
The final examination will assess all of the skills developed during the course and your ability to apply them as an individual.Submission
Submission details for all activities are available on MyUni but the majority of your submissions will be online and may be subjected to originality testing through Turnitin or other mechanisms. You will receive clear and timely notice of all submission details in advance of the submission date.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.
