Learning Resources

Required Resources

The following required resources are available on MyUni:

Lecture notes: these will be made available as the course progresses

Tutorial questions: these will be available on the MyUni website in the week leading up to the tutorial.

Recommended Resources

Reference Books

The course lecture notes should provide sufficient information for most students, however you may find the following reference book useful if you are have difficulty with the material or are interested in learning more about any of the topics in this course.

Copies of the following book is available in the Barr Smith library.

G.M. Masters : “Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems”, Wiley.

Online Learning

All course announcements will be made via MyUni. They will be available on the MyUni announcement board. In addition, important announcements will also be emailed to all course participants.

The use of the MyUni discussion boards is strongly encouraged for questions relating to course material. Anonymous posts will be permitted, offensive posts will not. Lecturers will make a best effort to respond promptly to questions raised on the discussion boards.

The MyUni Gradebook will be used to return continuous assessment marks. Students should check the Gradebook regularly and confirm their marks have been correctly entered.

Course lecturers may choose to make audio (and if facilities are available, also video) recordings available on MyUni. These recordings are normally available within one working day of the lecture. The video recordings consist of the image displayed on the digital projector.

In addition, the following material will be provided on MyUni at the start or during the course of the semester:

Lecture notes and tutorial questions

Learning & Teaching Modes

The material is presented in lectures and supported by problem-solving tutorials.

Tutorial problems should be attempted before the tutorial and this preparation is assessed at the start of each tutorial. The lecturer will also go through selected questions on the board and students will be given opportunities to ask questions.

Specific Course Requirements

Laboratory clothing restrictions apply to the workshop sessions: closed-toe shoes; covered shoulders; long hair must be tied back. In addition, students must remove all hand and wrist based jewellery (including material bracelets), and must not eat or drink in the laboratories. Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in your removal from the laboratory.

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.

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.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
