ARTS 3100 - Community Engagement Learning Project

North Terrace Campus - Winter - 2018

This course is focused on matching student skills to community government and business needs in organisations in the public, NGO and community sectors while developing cultural awareness, a sense of social justice and community engagement. It is a 4 week course in intensive mode (or equivalent) with an external study option available for students. The course will be offered in internal mode in Winter semester only. Students have two options to engage with host organisations: (i) find their own host organisation for a work placement where they will engage in the day to day activities of the organisation and develop skills that will make them better able to contribute to society s global citizens. Students whose placement is with an overseas or interstate organisation or who opt to take the course in the semester 1 and 2 periods or summer semester, will need to enrol in external mode. External mode students need to have their placement authorised by the Faculty office and if taking up an overseas placement, with the Global Mobility office also. (ii) engage in a group project under the auspices of a local host organisation. Group work projects will investigate and answer a real life challenge that the organisation is facing. They will work with the host organisation to research this and related issues, providing solutions and appropriate responses to the needs of the host organisation. This option is only available to Winter semester students. All students will submit a reflective learning journal which enables them to reflect on their experience and their use of knowledge and skills gained throughout the course.

  • 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.
