Course Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of metric spaces and topological spaces, and their role in mathematics.
- Demonstrate familiarity with a range of examples of these structures.
- Prove basic results about completeness, compactness, connectedness and convergence within these structures.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The lecturer will present the course material in 30 lectures. Students are expected to actively engage with the material during the lectures, and interaction and discussion of any difficulties that arise during the lecture is encouraged. Students are expected to attend all lectures, but (where possible) the lectures will be recorded to help cover absences, and for revision purposes. Students will be expected to present solution to fortnightly tutorial problems. Fortnightly assignments helps increase understanding of the theory and its applications, and timely feedback through these problems allows students to gauge their progress.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

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.

It is expected that each student will present at least once in the tutorials. Tutorial presentations will be worth 6%. This may have to be adjusted depending on enrolment.Submission
Homework assignments must be submitted on time with a signed assessment
cover sheet. Late assignments will not be accepted. Assignments will be
returned within two weeks. Students may be excused from an assignment
for medical or compassionate reasons. Documentation is required and the
lecturer must be notified as soon as possible.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending 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 Access Adelaide.

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’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
