CHIN 5005 - Special Topic Course for MA(TTC) Program

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2014

As a conversion program, one of the main objectives of the new MA (Translation and Transcultural Communication) program is to 'make it possible for aspiring graduates without an Honours qualification from Australian universities to undertake a PhD' in this Faculty. This Special Topic course is designed for the MA students to have access to the upper level courses in the Faculty to acquire the necessary disciplinary content required for future PhD studies. When students enrol in this 'Special Topic Course', the assessments will be adjusted to the standard postgraduate coursework level in consultation with the course coordinator and MA program convenor. By the end of the course each student will have gained specific discipline knowledge appropriate to their chosen field of research. The course will be offered in close consultation with course coordinators to ensure that no student will be disadvantaged due to specific prerequisites or prior knowledge. This course will offer breadth to the MA training program in the MA Translation and Transcultural Communication program.

  • 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.
