CRWR 3005 - Asia Pacific Conversations

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2016

The course aims to introduce students to the possibilities of cross-cultural and inter-communal dialogue through responsive reading and creative writing. We will discuss contemporary work, in English or English translation, by authors from the Asia Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, and Indigenous writing. How do we, as readers, interpret this work? How does it travel? How can we, as writers, contribute to this conversation? Students will be encouraged to explore their own cross-cultural interactions with the Asia Pacific. In this setting international students will have an opportunity to articulate their experience of living in Australia.

  • 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.
