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

Assessment Task	Type	Due	Weighting %	Learning Outcome

Assessment Related Requirements

Attendance at all practicals is compulsory,

Assessment Detail

Details will be provided at the start of each assessable activity.

The written assignments include the following tasks:

1. Tasks that require recall and application of knowledge given in lectures, practicals and readings

2. Tasks that require comprehension and application of relevant scenarios to food processing operations

3. Tasks that require the application of knowledge, laws, principles and guidelines to unfamiliar problems/processes

4. Tasks that require the analysis of data/information that is applied to hypothetical scenarios

6. Evaluation and critical appraisal of novel information

The final exam also challenges students with tasks of the type listed above.

Submission

All assessments must be handed in ‘hard copy’ to Regency TAFE Applied Food Studies Administration.
Draft assignments must be submitted at least 5 working days prior to assessment due date.
Further details will be provided at the start of each assessable activity.

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.
