    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The workload in this course is based on the 成人大片 guidelines .

    A student in a 3-unit course is generally expected to invest approximately 156 hours over 13 weeks (12 hours/week) of "total" work to achieve a “Credit”. Total work includes contact + non-contact time, and time invested into assessment tasks.

    The formal contact hours for the course include ~30 hours of tutorials and ~15 hours of outdoor practicals. Lecture content is available online and comprises approx 20 hours of content.

    The remaining ~90 hours of non-contact time is expected to be devoted to private study and  completion of assessment tasks.Higher marks, such as “Distinction” and “High Distinction”, will require substantially more quality time and effort.

    Tutorial questions

    Tutorials provide students with the opportunity to test their knowledge and understanding of key concepts , principles and theory presented in the learning units.

    Design Project
    The project is relatively "open-ended" and seeks inspiration from practical engineering design problems.

    Practical
    The practical focuses on testing the practical knowledge of the surveying component of the course.

    Exam
    The exam tests overall student knowledge and is conducted after the end of the teaching period.

  • 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.
