ABORIG 3000 - Indigenous Research Issues: Applied Knowledge

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This capstone course will provide students with the ability to synthesise their learnings within the Indigenous Knowledges and Society major and minor. It will allow students to apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate competency in the areas of Indigenous research, the environment, history, languages and more with a well-developed awareness of alternative worldviews. The focus will be on a placement with work integrated learning that allows the student to use advanced theoretical and technical knowledge within a multidisciplinary and multi-knowledge framework that centres Indigenous knowledges. Students will demonstrate an awareness of Indigenous research methods and protocols and take into account the ethical considerations of working with Indigenous peoples, organisations and communities through their chosen field. Students will work in collaboration with Australian Indigenous peoples developing skills and knowledge to apply as professionals operating in culturally sensitive 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.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
