Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The lecturer will guide the students through the course material in 30 lectures. Students are expected to actively engage with the material during the lectures. Interaction and discussion of any difficulties that arise during the lectures is encouraged. Students are expected to attend all lectures, but (when possible) the lectures will be recorded to help cover absences and for revision purposes. Students will be expected to participate in active tutorials every second week. In the tutorials, students will solve problems together in small groups. Short online quizzes will be given following the tutorials to help develop understanding. Fortnightly assignments help develop understanding of the theory and its applications, and timely feedback allows students to gauge their progress. A group project with a written report further develops research skills, teamwork skills, and communication skills.Workload

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.

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.
To support the changes to teaching, the following revisions to assessment have been made:
On-line examination: During the regular examination period: 60%
Homework assignments: 5 spread across semester worth 25%. (As you have had one already I will give it the original weighting of 3% and make the remainder 5.5%)
On-line mid-semester test: Week 7 15%Assessment Related Requirements
An aggregate score of 50% is required to pass the course.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.
The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
