reading list relevant to topic discussions will be provided. However,

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is scheduled to be delivered over 6 intensive days of
teaching over the trimester period. Due to the completcity of the
subject however, these days are often more focussed on one-to-one
discuissions with the lecturer and group time for project development.
(For online students thi swill mean a teleconference meeting with your lecturer).
The focus of the course will be an interactive research project with one
of our industry mentors and fellow group members. For students studying
remotely, all lecture and tutorial sessions will be recorded as with
interviews and debriefs with our industry mentors. However, it is
expected that group members will maintain close contact between sessions
in order to complete the required tasks and maximise learning outcomes.Workload
No information currently available.

- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.

Assessment Detail
1. Peer assessment (Individual Assessment) 10%. Working
in a group setting can, and usually is, challenging. This is true
whether it is in a study or work context. However, the reality of life
(especially our working life) is that we must just ‘get on with it’ and
work productively with others to achieve common goals. Something that
makes this easier is each person making a commitment to sharing work
appropriately, allocate tasks according to strengths within the team and
to making a strong effort to achieve success. There are 5
criteria that each of your team members will assess each other group in
their team against on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is poor performance
and 10 is virtually ‘perfect’ performance, the criteria are explained
below: Openness and flexibilityTrust and cooperationDutifulnessDependabilityAchievement of goals and tasksThese elements will be explained in more detail in class, although
students are encouraged to seek additional insights via personal
investigations and discussions.
2. Minutes of team meetings (Group assessment) 10%. Due dates October 15 (3 x meetings) October 29 (2 x meetings) Students
must supply the minutes of at least 5 team meetings; these will be
included in with the final report. These must be more that an account of
who attended and how long the meeting lasted. It is expected that from
the first meeting decisions regarding what needs to be done, who will do
it and when it will be completed for group review will be recorded.
Then in subsequent meetings, progress against action items and deadlines
will be reported and subsequent actions decided. There will also be
information sharing discussions and teamwork towards overcoming
obstacles and problems. Remember also that your lecturer (another mentor
in the course) is always available to help and can be invited to
meetings, or to provide advice/feedback prior or post a meeting. It is
not expected that minutes will be pages long – bullet points and
summaries of discussions are fine – just so long as it is clear what
took place, was achieved and decided. You may minute more meetings but 5
will be assessed. Students that are studying remotely can take part via
Skype or telephone or other forms of ‘online chat’ that are available.
3. Mentor interview report (Individual Assessment) 20% This
is a report respective to the successful interview of mentors. It will
be approximately 2000 words in length and will provide an overview of
your findings from the interview and will include a list of interview
questions that were asked by your team and your personal assessment
(with examples) of the quality and quantity of the information that was
received. It will also include a summary of what was learned from
answers to questions posed by other groups and your views of the success
of the interview overall. You should also include identification of
information that you still need to acquire and where you may source
this. It is expected that all groups will record the interviews and
share this audio file for your reference. Of course the lecture will be
recorded and provided on MyUni for the benefit of students studying
remotely.
4. Reflective journal (Individual Assessment) 30%. This
aspect of the overall assessment carries as much weight as the
investigative report that you are also required to complete. A major
focus of this course is to encourage individuals to reflect on the
process of learning about a specific topic (and the reporting on that
topic) and also to apply critical thinking to this process as well as
their individual team experiences. This journal is more than a diary,
and mere ‘descriptions’ of events or topics will not justify strong
assessment marks. There are a number of readings that will be provided
in addition to discussion and explanation in lectures.
5. Research report (Group Assessment) 30% Each
mentor will be presenting the class with a ‘problem’ specific to their
area of interest. Each group will be required to interview them and to
use their information, plus a wide range of information sourced by the
team to address the question and complete a report of not less than 7000
words (not including any appendices) that investigates the context of
the question and provides some clear strategies and recommendations
respective to it. At our first class all students will be allocated to groups (including remote students) and will be assigned a mentor.Submission
All assignments are to be submitted by the due date using the Turnitin
facility on the course MyUni website. Assignments will be marked
electronically and returned that way too. Please remember to keep a copy
of all your work. Each assignment must also have an assignment cover
sheet as its first page and title page after that. Late Assignment Submission Students
are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair
and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for
medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be
emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date.
Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without
prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day
that it is late. Return of Assignments Lecturers aim to marked and return assignments to student within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.
Final results for this course will be made available through .

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.

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.
