General
information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-student-architecture/current-student.

This course consists of a series of 50 minute lectures followed by a two-hour tutorial. It is a requirement that students attend all scheduled lectures and tutorials. Although attendance will not form part of the assessment for this course. Attendance will be taken. 

Lectures will be the mode of delivering information and developing the intellectual and practical substance of this course. Tutorials provide the setting for further discussions of this material and for students to present their project work in progress so they can receive feedback and guidance on its development. In tutorials the primary mode of learning is for students to actively participate and engage with their tutor. This is primarily a group activity where all students will participate and contribute rather than one-on-one tuition. Where  specified in the course handout students will be asked to engage in more specific activities or present material to the tutor and other students in a more formal way, the presentation of the key texts for example.

For all School requirements related to attendance at scheduled teaching activities, submission of assignments, late submissions, medical and other issues related to submission and attendance please consult the Student Handbook 2014  which is available on the School's website.

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

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.

Assignment One
Group work 30%
Summative assessment
Construction Research Report
Due in tutorials week 3

Assignment Two
Individual work 30%

Preliminary Construction Study
To be submitted with Studio Cultures assignment in week 7

Assignment Three

for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the
guidelines.· In addition, all assigments need to have an

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.·

box. 

Late Submission: · The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will

by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%. However, this does
not apply to the Class Test or Quiz as this is exempt from this rule.

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