  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Composition Folio

    Due date: various
    A composition folio, applying the concepts discussed in lectures will be developed creatively applying the concepts discussed in the lecture series, - possibly including:
    • A composition demonstrating both Vertical and Horizontal approaches to melody
    A composition demonstrating ‘Ingoing’ Melody
    A composition demonstrating ‘Outgoing’ Melody
    A composition demonstrating 12 tone row(s)

    With each composition you will submit a short (250-300 words) discussion and analysis of your work, and with your final piece submitted you will also submit a short (300 words) discussion and evaluation of the overall compositional processes you have followed.
    15% 1, 2, 4
    Ongoing Assessment: Short assignments to be handed out & discussed during lectures/tutorials 15% 1, 2, 3
    Examination The examination will consist of questions relating to the content discussed during the lecture series and its application,
    Date and venue to be advised.
    70% 1, 2, 3

    Rationale for assessment: Ongoing assignments within jazz theory apply the fundamentals delivered within the seminar, requiring students to research topics and exercise the techniques discussed. They are marked and returned to students, providing critical feedback (Learning Objectives 1, 2, 3,& 4). The theory examination comprises a formal written paper and assesses knowledge and application of theory topics taught and discussed (Learning Objectives 1, 2, 3 & 5).
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Attendance at Lectures and Tutorials is compulsory. Applications for Leave of Absence can be made in accordance with School policy.

  • 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.
