PETROENG 7072A - Petroleum Research Project (Part A)

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2025

This course offers students the opportunity to carry out a research project. Students are strongly encouraged to develop their own proposals in line with current or expected professional interests. The final project title and outline must be approved by the Academic Director of the program. It shall be conducted under the supervision of one of the academic staff and may be undertaken outside the University (for example, with an industrial host or sponsor) as long as adequate contact is maintained with the academic supervisor. Evaluation of the project will be conducted jointly by the relevant academic staff and industry practitioners.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    The assessment summary includes:

    1) Progress report (20%)

    2) Seminar (20%)

    3) Final report(60%)
    Assessment Detail
    1) Progress report
    This report is intended for the students to present their work to date in detail and demonstrate progress towards their stated objectives. Major elements required include a detailed literature review, outcomes to date, and a detailed project completion plan. There is a restrictive page limit size, but unlimited appendices are allowed to present supplementary material.

    2) Final report
    This report should comprehensively document the entire project. Assessment emphasises cohesive analysis of the problem, well-executed approach, compelling results and outcomes, and discussion of limitations. There is a restrictive page limit, but unlimited appendices are allowed to present supplementary material.

    3) Seminar
    The Seminar presentations are held in within the school. Students will present their final results to an assessment committee that includes academaic supervisor, an independent academic staff and an industry referee.
    Submission

    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
