Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Lectures will introduce students to the historical period out of which Modernism emerged, and some key conceptual terms relating to Modernism, as well as introducing them to the set texts and some of the critical frames through which they have been read. In seminars students will explore the set texts and conceptual terms in greater depth, focussing on areas of difficulty through tutor-directed tasks and questions, and student led-discussions. Student research skills will be developed through student-led discussions, seminar research essays and the major research essay. As this is a new subject, it is not anticipated that there will be nay students new to university study. The course convenor will negotiate suitable support mechenisms for international and study abroad students, and students with Access Plans and other special circumstances.Workload

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.
