  • 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.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Point % of final marks Learning objectives assessed
     1 Practical report 1&2 20 5,6,10
     2 Case study 20 2,5,6,9
    Oral topic presentation 10 1-10
    4 Exam
    2 hours, closed book
    50 1-10
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Attendance to 80% of the practical sessions is compulsory. Students must sign their name on the class register at the commencement of the practical class.  

    Assessment Detail
    Practical Reports:

    Two practicals reports need to be submitted.

    Practical report 1 should meet the following criteria:
    1. write introduction to operational machinery, mass balance and heat transfer(4 marks)
    2. draw a flow chart for the process (3 marks)
    3. identify and tabulate the unit operations and compare process steps with unit operations (4 marks)
    4. do the unit mass balance diagram (3 marks)
    5. show all data in mass balance diagram (3 marks)
    6. assuming all ingredients approximately had 80% moisture and 40% pizza base before baking calculate moisture loss% (3 marks)
    7. calculate yield of the final finished product (2 marks)
    8. briefly discuss practical method, mass balance, yield and variables in the process
    (6 marks)
    9. Reference in text and include reference list (2 marks)

    Practicals report 2 include:
    I List all the steps in Microbrewery beer brewing process.
    Identify Engineering equipment needed to do the necessary tasks in each step.
    Include brief description of the equipment with diagrams. (8 marks)

    II Discuss 2 different sanitary fittings for liquid transfer in Brewing industry (6 marks)

    III Finding the solutions for the bottling lines and calculation. (6 marks)


    Case Study:

    As a food technologist you are asked to provide advice and guidance to the company that will address each of these issues. Specifically, you are asked to:
    1. Develop a new design for the factory that prevents cross contamination and which complies with the Food Standards Code.
    2. Identify new methods of freezing and new equipment that will increase the freezing rate of the seafood and which results in less damage to it.
    3. Determine if fittings (e.g. pipework, threaded couplings, etc) in the factory could be replaced with more modern sanitary fittings that improve the hygiene and sanitation standards of the plant.
    4. Identify how the application of hydraulics and pneumatics can improve material handling in the plant.
    5. Considering the current process is mostly manually operated, suggest how the production processes could be improved by introducing automated methods of process control.
    6. Methods of liquid waste treatment to meet EPA requirements; refer to Appendix I for specifications.
    7. Strategies to reduce power consumption.

    Oral presentation:

    This include students choosing one engineering concepts topic, research and presenting to the class for 10 minutes with question time.

    Final Exam:

    Held in department closed book for 2 hours covering questions from all the lectures, oral topics and practicals.
    Submission
    All assessable components must be handed in at the Applied Food Studies Office, Regency TAFE by 12.00 pm of the due date.

  • 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.
