MUSHONS 4004 - Honours Music Minor Project

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This course is intended to provide students with the skills and understanding to produce an initial written or performed project relevant to their specialisation. This will involve a performed program of approximately 25 minutes duration or a written work of approximately 6,000 words or original performed composition of equivalent musical significance. Projects must demonstrate adequate facility in the handling of appropriate creative ideas bearing upon the specialisation concerned and deemed to be at Honours level. Preparatory work will be supervised individually or in small groups as approved by the Conservatorium and will involve the student in developing knowledge, skills and insights bearing upon the project to be completed. Effective research and the development of creative output are central to this project. To assist with the completion of this project study will include individual or small group (maximum 4 students) supervisions/lessons with specialist conservatorium staff.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Both the 25 minute recital and the written work are hurdle requirements.

    100% attendance is required for all supervisions, forums and ensembles.
    Assessment Detail
    For students in the performance specialisations the Minor Recital forms a core component, providing a focus for their studies in research and performance skills leading to outcomes in their own realisation of musical works. For non-performance specialisations the written paper or performed original composition provide a similar focus for the development of research or composition skills and understanding.

  • 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.
