CRWR 2014 - Writing China In Country

North Terrace Campus - Winter - 2014

The course introduces students to intercultural dialogue through responsive reading and creative writing, with special reference to China. Students will encounter modern and contemporary Chinese literature in English translation and be introduced to Chinese language and culture through intensive study at Beijing Foreign Studies University. The course builds on CRWR 2012 Asia-Pacific Conversations in developing the capacity to interpret the experience of China through discussion, critical reading and creative writing. Pre-departure briefing sessions will prepare students and in-country peer-led workshops will help students produce written work for submission on return. Students are encouraged to explore the various contexts of their interactions with China and to respond in appropriate ways.

  • 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.
