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.
Here is a summary of changes to assessment in this course as a result of the transfer to virtual model of teaching.
Assessments 1 (completed), 2, and 3 are submitted online and there are currently no changes to these, including submission dates.
We understand that the new virtual model of delivery might still be challenging to students. For assignment #2, I will send out a survey in Week 5 (workshop) to ask if groups are still ok with the original deadline. Else we can discuss an extension.
Assessment 5 (worth 10%) is similar in contents to the other assignments (including submission), but the information is collected by each group conducting an interview another group (a review of their assignment) - more information in future lecture videos. This is due in Week 12.
Assessment 6 is an individual assignment, but is very similar to the other assignments in these courses. The assignment is completed and submitted individually by each student in Week 13.
Assessment 4 is a quiz conducted in Week 10 during the workshop session, worth 10% of the course. This will be an online quiz (no change in weighting). Once the quiz is set up, I will post an announcement about the details - after the Term break. There are no changes to the contents or format of the quiz, as yet.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.
