The link to the Naxos catalogue is In the Music Resources Guide:
http://libguides.adelaide.edu.au/music - you will find links to both Naxos and Naxos Jazz under “Quick Links” on the left side of the page.
The Music Resources Guide contains quick links to key music databases for scholarly research and online listening. It also contains links to websites of publicly available online scores, collected editions, and professional associations. Here too you can find a regularly updated list of new books, scores, CDs and DVDs available in the Elder Music Library.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.
All assessments will be done online, and now look as follows:
Week 5 assessment 10% - as usual, online
Tech & Rep 20% - classes moving to online. Assessment no longer in person. Students will upload and submit work to Head of Area. Please consult your instrumental teacher regarding exact requirements and upload approx. 10 mins of technical work no later than May 25th.
Performance class 10% - All performances are cancelled. Students will upload performance, 10 mins, of unaccompanied work (no need for accompanist) OR submit 1000 word assignment on performance related topic. As students do not have access to accompanists, the option is provided to do either an unaccompanied work or a 1000 word assignment on a performance related topic. Consult with your teacher about which choice is most appropriate and feel free to be creative with assignment topics!
NB the date for submission of performances /assignments is now June 4th. Submit to either Elizabeth Layton or Elizabeth Koch, depending on which class you were assigned.
Performance exam 60% - In exam week. Exam performances will now be uploaded and submitted online. All exam requirements remain the same and course coordinators will advise about the availability of accompanists and the best way to submit recordings nearer the time.Assessment Detail

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.
