Learning & Teaching Modes

Lectures will explore a range of theoretical aspects related to Western art music. The theory lectures will incorporate an analytical approach to thematic, harmonic, stylistic and formal aspects of various works. Theoretical topics will be explored through discussion of key concepts and through analysis of a range of set works by various composers including Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Bizet and Schumann.

Tutorials will be oriented towards application of the theoretical aspects of the course, and will enable students to gain first-hand experience of these aspects through problem-solving harmonization exercises and analysis of relevant repertoire.

Workload

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

In addition to the 3 contact hours per week, it is anticipated that students would spend 6-9 hours per week in reviewing lecture notes, preparing for tutorials, listening to repertoire, preparing assignments, undertaking suggested readings, and practising theoretical skills.

Specific Course Requirements

Attendance and participation expectations are as follows:

Lectures: Although attendance at all lectures is expected, leave applications will not be required to be submitted to the lecturers due to logistical reasons. Students are advised that poor attendance at lectures will very likely have a significant negative impact on their ability to complete assessment tasks.

Tutorials: Any student who fails to satisfactorily attend their Tutorial may be ineligible for assessment in the other course components.

Penalties: Any unapproved absences from the Tutorial will incur a deduction of 5 marks per absence which will be applied to the final total mark for the course – i.e. after all other assessments have been completed and calculated.

Test and Exam Attendance: All students are required to sit the tests and exam on the scheduled dates. No exceptions will be made except on certified medical grounds or on professional/compassionate grounds if approved by the coordinator well in advance of the scheduled exam.

If you are Ill on the Day of a Test or Exam: You should not sit a test or exam if you are ill, both because you could infect others and because you will likely not perform at your best (note: once you sit an exam you cannot request a supplementary due to illness-induced poor performance). You should visit a doctor and obtain a medical certificate for the day of the test/exam, required for medical supplementaries. You should also notify the coordinator at your soonest opportunity to request a medical supplementary assessment. Requests for medical supplementaries will only be considered if the coordinator is contacted within a short period of the missed test or exam.

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

All of the following assessment tasks are summative in nature. Formative tasks, in the form of tutorial or homework exercises will assist in the completion of the summative assessment tasks.

Assessment Task	Weighting	Date	Learning Outcome
Assignment #1	15%	Set in Week 2 DUE in Week 4	1, 2, 4
Test #1	15%	Held in Week 6	1, 2, 3, 4
Assignment #2	15%	Set in Week 8 DUE in Week 9	1, 2, 3
Test #2	15%	Held in Week 11	1, 2, 3, 4

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.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

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.
