Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Overthe course of 30 lectures, the lecturer presents the material to the students and guides them through it. During this time students are expected to engage with the material being presented in lectures, identifying any difficulties that may arise in their understanding of it, and interacting with the lecturer to overcome these difficulties. It is expected that students will attend all lectures, but lectures will be recorded (when facilities allow for this) to help with incidental absences and for revision purposes. In fortnightly tutorials students present their solutions to assigned exercises and discuss them with the lecturer and their peers. Fortnightly homework assignments help students strengthen their understanding of the theory and their skills in applying it, allowing them to gauge their progress.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

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:-
The University will not hold exams as usual this semester. As such it has become necessary to change the assessment
of this course. The new assessment is as follows:
The usual exam will be replaced by an online exam administered through MyUni. It will be worth 50% of the marks.
There will still be 5 assignments but now they will be worth 30% of you overall grade (6% per assignment).
Tutorial participation 10%. As we have already been doing, each student is assigned a question in one of the tutorials. You receive the mark for presenting a solution to this question to me.
Lastly, there will be an online quiz administered through MyUni which will be worth 10%.
Further details concerning the exam and online quiz will be posted in due course.Assessment Related Requirements

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.
