No appointment is necessary. For greater assistance, please bring your course guide, assignment question, comments from your lecturers/tutors, and drafts of your writing.

Speaker Series
The School has a fortnightly lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field  deliver a public lecture on contemporary practice in architecture and  landscape architecture. In order to expand your knowledge of  contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend  these sessions. The exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

All course information including references, required texts, copies of assignments handouts and provisional marks will be available on MyUni. The discussion board on myuni can be used to communicate with other students and staff in relation to questions and issue that arise within the course.

University Email:
The school uses the University email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

Noticeboard / Handbook:
General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at . Students can also access a copy of the Student Handbook available on the School's website.

MyUni / Canvas
In addition to the above resources, further assignment resources are  available on MyUni / Canvas. These may include further reading material  for the lectures and studios, reading material that will assist with the preparation of assignments and appropriate links to assist students  with academic writing including essay writing as required. MyUni / Canvas is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate  information regarding the course including details of assignments and  interim grades. There are many other learning resources and assessment  pieces that rely on the MyUni system for delivery.

Therefore it is  recommended that you familiarise yourself with the various functions of  MyUni and employ it to its fullest extent. https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

Lecture Recording
In certain cases the recording of the lectures is made available in  electronic format for students to listen through on their own time and  make notes, and is provided through Canvas. However, this service may not include guest lectures. Furthermore, where the presentation content  is subject to copyright or the guest speaker is uncomfortable with the  recording of the content, the lecture recording will not be made  available online. So students should not rely solely on this mode of  learning and arrange to attend or get lecture content from peers.

The schedule of teaching and learning modes can be viewed on Course Planner.
Full details of individual lectures, required reading material and preparation for specific classes will be available on MyUni/Canvas.

The University expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:

Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs

These 120 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.

Full details of the learning activities will be available on MyUni/Canvas in O'Week.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Please respect the facilities throughout the University.

In the School of Architecture and Built Environment students are required to fabricate models, projects and other hands-on creative activities. Of course, you will make a mess in the process! No problem! Please clean up after yourself. If the materials are recyclable and you don't want to reuse them yourself, put them in the recycling bins. Don't leave paper/cardboard/offcuts on the floor or table, put them in the bin. Don't leave broken blades etc. on tables, put them in a sharps bin. Don't leave work (models, drawings etc) in a space (tutorial room, computer lab, studio) and expect to find it when you come back. The facilities are shared. The School recommends that you store your work in a locker available from ASA or in Hub Central.

The tables in the learning and teaching spaces (tutorial rooms, computer labs, studios) are NOT cutting mats. Would you use an exacto knife or a scalpel to cut model making materials directly on your dining table at home? No? Don't do it at the University. Use a cutting mat. If you don't have one, buy one. All students should have a cutting mat in their Equipment Kit. You are expected to bring this with you if you are model-making, using glue etc.

Students are permitted to bring food and drink into the learning and teaching spaces. Please respect your peers. When you have finished your bottle of water, coffee cup, bubble tea, Coke, juice, Boost, Red Bull etc. etc. put it in the bin. Don't leave your takeaway meal festering on a table cultivating mould. Put it in the bin.

The importance of hygiene and cleanliness is amplified during COVID 19. Respect your peers. Respect your facilities. Please clean up after yourself at all times. This is your responsibility.

Some students are enrolled in different Program pathways due to mid-year entry or otherwise. This may lead to a clash of due dates for assignments. If you have any concerns about the due dates, or conflicts arising with those of other courses, these concerns must be communicated to the course coordinator by Monday of Week 2.


Due to the current COVID-19 situation, modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.

All lectures and tutorials are being recorded and available to all students on ECHO360. 

All assignments are modified with a flexible mode of delivery to suit all students in and off-campus. 

For assignments submitted in tutorials it is a requirement that students pin up and present their work. Feedback will be verbal feedback in the tutorial session. Students are advised to ask one of their peers to make notes of the feedback for later reference.

Marking & Feedback (General)

• Final results for the course will only be available through Access Adelaide and students should not contact the course coordinator or the tutors for the same.
• Feedback for in-class submissions will only be available during the tutorial as oral critique in the style of studio wall-crits. Students should arrange with peers to make notes for reference.

Submissions (General):

• All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.

• In addition, all assigments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.

• Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.

• Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.

• On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission:

• There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

• Models for in-class presentation cannot be handed in early.

Late Submission:

• The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.

• Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Re-submission:

• The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%.

• Note the date for the deadline for all re-submissions in the Student Handbook 2019.

Good practice:

• Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations as hard-disk crashes are an unfortunate reality.

• When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.

• Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.
