Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Weekly lectures will introduce students to important
theoretical knowledges and cultural debates around embodiment and identities.
Lectures will be recorded and posted on MyUni. This will enhance access and
flexibility for many students, and will support the learning efforts of,
students from non-English speaking backgrounds, including international
students.
Weekly seminars will be devoted to in-depth discussion of
lecture materials, and to close reading and discussion of the set texts
inspired and guided by student presentations, with a view to expanding
students’ knowledge. Seminar presentations will involve some small group
preparation outside class, and in class discussions will take place in both
small and large groups in order to facilitate greater participation in
discussion by all students. In the context of both small and large group
discussion, students will have maximum opportunity to articulate their thinking
and will continually learn from each other.
Writing activities will allow student to research, process, reflect on and write on texts, topics and ideas presented in the lectures and seminars.

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.

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.
