Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The Honours Advanced Course enables students to enhance their knowledge and appreciation of their chosen areas of scientific research. The first research area will be directly relevant to their Honours research project and will require the analysis of the literature and the development of a research proposal. Knowledge of the other research area will be enhanced through either coursework or specialised written essay. While these activities are largely independent, students will be given guidance/mentorship by their supervisor(s) and be provided with workshops to aid in their learning.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
A student enrolled in a 6 unit, full year course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. For the Literature review and research proposal and for students undertaking the Essay assessment item, this time will encompass reading and synthesis of the relevant scientific literature and development of the research proposal. For students choosing to undertake a 3-unit course in place of the Essay, this will include formal contact time required to that course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision) as required.Learning Activities Summary
Workshops are provided during this course to support students towards course assessment and learning outcomes. Example workshop topics include:
- Communication skills & academic writing
- Statistics and data analysis

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.

This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.

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.
