Students will be required to:
1. apply their knowledge and understanding of material covered in the lecturers to unfamiliar problems;
2. research information from a variety of sources
3. analyse data and produce charts, diagrams and discuss
4. synthesise solutions to novel problems
5. evaluate and critique information.
Food Commodity Poster (20%, includes 5% from peer review)
Groups of 3-4 students will develop a poster which describes, analyses and evaluates the food processing techniques involved in the manufacture of one food commodity chosen from a list provided in Week 1. This poster will be made using the UoA poster template. Each group will present their poster to the class in Week 11, giving a 10-minute talk. Each group collectively assesses the other groups’ posters and presentations. This peer assessment will contribute 5% to the overall mark for this assessment.
Students will be required to:
• Research information about this food commodity and the processing technique/s involved in the manufacture of this commodity
• Analyse, evaluate and critique the information gathered in relation to the technique/s
• Summarise their findings using text, table/s, graph/s and diagram/s to aid in the delivery of their findings.
Final Written Theory Exam (40%)

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.
