Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The purpose of the Study Tour is to immerse students in the corporate management system of a number of organisations based in Boston and New York and will consider the role of strategic leadership in the corporate direction (including governance), strategic direction, innovation practices, implementation and execution capability, and impacts of the local and global business environment on strategic decision making. This is an experiential course.
Prior to the tour departure the students will have 1 class room session here in Adelaide to introduce the course outline and assessments, along with the trip agenda and housekeeping matters.
Whilst in NYC and Boston the students will spend approximately 36 hours in field trips and group work to facilitate experiential and immersive learning. Students will attend multiple field trips to organisations in Boston and/or New York to hear directly from industry subject matter experts on the development and implementation of strategic initiatives, as part of leading the corporate management system within the organisation. These case studies will provide the learning on which to demonstrate their knowledge of corporate management systems through the assessments.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.
