ARTS 3005 - Liberal Arts & Sciences Internship

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2018

This Internship will enable students within the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences to develop their career readiness skills by working with selected scientific and cultural organisations. `Interns? will spend a semester (or equivalent) completing an agreed research project for their host organisation, spending about 1-2 days a week within the organisation and will also be assigned an academic supervisor within the University who will supervise and mark their research project. In general, the project will examine `real world? problem-solving from interdisciplinary perspectives, and in particular the intersections between the `arts? and `sciences?. The Internship will also be supplemented with a series of seminars on research and report writing as well as on topics related to career readiness. The final research report (up to 7,500 words or equivalent) by the student accounts for 70% of the final grade for 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.
