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.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome 3 x Quizzes Formative and Summative 25% 1,2,4 Group Oral Presentation Formative and Summative 25% 1,3,4,5,6 Reflective Journal (Throughout the semester) Formative 20% 5,6 Final Project Formative and Summative 30% 1,2,4,5,6 Assessment Related Requirements
Students are encouraged to attend and actively participate in all sessions, both workshops and tutorials as part of their learning process and assessment.Assessment Detail
Quizzes (25%): Students will answer questions on course content and/or analyse a fragment of text in the form of a well-structured paragraph via MyUni.
Group oral presentation (25%): Students will complete a 15-minute oral presentation in groups of 3-4 students on selected topics that complement the course content. Students will present in front of their peers, answer questions, and receive oral and written feedback. Students are expected to design a multimodal slide deck as support material for their presentation.
Reflective Journal (20%): Students will write a 200-word journal entry once a fortnight (in Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) following the prompt provided on MyUni. This assessment will be graded on the basis of Complete/Incomplete.
Final Project (30%): Students will engage with the course content in a creative way by moving away from a traditional essay format. This assignment offers students the possibility to show their learning through a different mode and will also prepare students more adequately for projects similar to those carried out in professional contexts. In the first iteration of the course, students will record a 7-minute podcast episode discussing some of the main ideas studied in the course, making references to primary and secondary sources, and then write a 500-word exegesis. All final projects should include the podcast episode script and reference list following MLA.Submission

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.
