OENOLOGY 3520WT - Advances in Wine Science III

Waite Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

Current research and advanced practices in viticulture and oenology will be examined through lecture/tutorial-based discussion. Viticultural topics will include water relations, water and nutrient use efficiency, climate change, salinity, organic and biodynamic practices and genetic advancement. From an oenological context, emphasis will be placed on grape and wine phenolics and flavour compounds; methods of analysis in wine science; yeast biochemistry, ethanol toxicity, wine stability, yeast aroma compounds; malolactic fermentation. The course will consist of lectures, lab-based practicals, topic debates and a final sensory skill presentation based on sensory skills developed over the course of the Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology Program.

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

This course will be delivered by the following means:

Lectures: 2 hours per week
Practicals: 4 hours per week
Tutorial: 1 hour per week

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

Learning Activities Summary

The course will consist of lectures, group reports and presentations on set topics and individual sensory presentations that utilise and build on skills developed through prior courses in the undergraduate or postgraduate oenology programs.

Specific Course Requirements

The teaching staff will attempt to assist students in all reasonable ways but ultimately you are responsible for your own learning. You should ensure that you are familiar with the course arrangements and work requirements and deadlines as set out in this course outline.

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 of assessment	Percentage of total assessment for grading purposes	Hurdle (yes or no)	Learning outcomes achieved
Consultancy assignment	Formative & Summative	25%	no	1,3,5-6
Sensory presentation	Formative & Summative	25%	no	2,4

Submission

Plagiarism, Collusion and Related Forms Of Cheating:

Students are required to familiarise themselves with the University Policy on Plagiarism. This can be obtained from the following URL;

Useful guidelines on how to avoid plagiarism, plus other learning tools, can be obtained from the Centre for Learning & Professional Development website at:

Penalty for late submission of assignments:

Clear articulation is required on the penalties associated with late submission of assignment. Details of the exact penalties are left to the discretion of the course co-ordinator.

Assignments must be submitted by their deadline. There will be a penalty of 10% of the total mark for each day (or part of a day) that an assignment is late, up to a maximum penalty of 50% of the total mark. The examiner may elect not to accept any assignment that a student wants to submit after the assignments for the rest of the class have been marked and feedback provided. Extensions of deadlines may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Extensions of deadlines should be negotiated with the course coordinator before the assignment is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time.

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

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.
