On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1.	Outline the historical development of the architecture, urban design and cultural landscapes of South Australia since the impact of modern/European settlement in the early 19th c
2.	Synthesise theoretical and cultural relationships between built form, content, context, concept, and construction that may be revealed in the case of South Australia, with particular reference to Aboriginal Australian and other non-European peoples
3.	Articulate and interpret factors (social, economic, technological and aesthetic) that may influence the design and development of built environments
4.	Compose a critical argument and communicate this in a clear and concise analytical text employing academic writing & referencing conventions
5.	Demonstrate enhanced research skills in the use of primary sources as well as on-line resources to conduct original historical inquiry
6.	Apply discipline-specific knowledge and skills (including architectural drawing) as prospective design professionals to document and assess a building as a contribution to built heritage

There is no prescribed reader for this course, but specific readings may be assigned and/or made available through MyUni. Students will also be expected to make extensive use of the Barr-Smith library and its architectural collections, The State Library of South Australia, The City of Adelaide Archives, as well as the specialist collection and archival resources of the South Australian Architecture Museum (which is housed at the UniSA School of Architecture).

The BSL library, Hub-Central, as well as the Learning support team of the Faculty (ECMS) provide a variety of resources including self-help guidelines, regularly scheduled workshops, and individual consultations by appointment, to assist students with challenges in academic writing referencing. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of these resources.

A list of recommended readings associated with South Australian history, architecture and planning/ landscape (some of which are available in BSL) will be provided at the commencement of the course. But students are also encouraged to extend their reading to Australian architecture, urban and landscape history more broadly, in consultation with their tutors.

Please refer to MyUni for details of recommended readings and websites

Speaker Series:
The School has a fortnightly lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field deliver a public lecture on contemporary practice in the architecture, landscape and and urban design disciplines. In order to expand your knowledge of contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend these sessions. The exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website.

Lectures are the key mode of content delivery and critical exposition in this course. There will normally be two distinct 50 minute lectures delivered each week in the two-hour lecture session, one by the principal course lecturers, the other by an expert guest lecturer.

Tutorials and workshops are scheduled periodically throughout the semester (but not every week, so please check the schedule carefully). Students will usually meet with their assigned tutor for a one hour session. However ‘workshop’ sessions will entail up to two hours of contact with one or more teaching staff

Out-of-classroom learning opportunities may also be exploited through short walking visits to nearby buildings and institutions including temporary exhibitions and the permanent collections of neighbouring public galleries and museums.

Assignments are designed to facilitate self-guided learning. These generally reflect the sequence the lectures, and will give students opportunities to explore and develop a self-selected topic or issue introduced in the lectures.

The tutoring staff and the guest Lecturers are primarily professional historians and architecturally trained heritage professionals. They bring current knowledge and substantial experience to the subject area.

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

The University expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management (delete as appropriate):

For a 3 unit course:
Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs

For a 6 unit course:
Total workload hours: 24 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 312 Hrs
Total contact hours: 6 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 72 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 312 Hrs – 72 Hrs = 240 Hrs

For a 12 unit course:
Total workload hours: 48 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 624 Hrs
Total contact hours: 12 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 144 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 624 Hrs – 144 Hrs = 480 Hrs

These 120 or 240 or 480 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.

SUBMISSIONS

All details about the individual assignment submissions and online participation tasks will be provided on MyUni / Canvas.

Please note the following general points about Submissions:

General
All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.

Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.

Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.

On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission:
There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box. Online submissions can be made prior to the due date.

Models for in-class presentation cannot be handed in early.

Late Submission:
The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.

Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance. Online submissions can also take time when file sizes are large and this can result in delayed submissions. The School recommends submissions < 50MB.

Re-submission:
The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%.

Good practice:
Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations as hard-disk crashes are an unfortunate reality. When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid unnecessary delays. Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.

For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Assessment Task Extension(s) & Additional Assessment guidelines.

Modified Arrangements (General)
Students can apply for extensions or modified arrangements based on Medical conditions or other Extenuating circumstances. However, students need to submit their application along with supporting documents within 5 business days of the condition becoming applicable.

The application form (the 'Blue Form') is available from the Front Office and needs to be submitted at the Front Office along with any supporting documentation. It is not sufficient, for example, just to submit a medical certificate. If you are sick a medical certificate needs to be appended to the Blue Form.

Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance and the Course Coordinator will inform the applicant if the application is accepted. Please DO NOT contact the Course Coordinator directly.

Medical Reasons:
In case of an extended medical condition which makes it impossible for the student to submit the work on time, an Application for Assessment Task Extension due to Medical Circumstances (Blue Form) may be lodged with the Front Office along with a doctor’s certificate within 5 business days.

Extenuating Circumstances:
If the student is unable to submit the work on time due to extenuating circumstances an Application for Assessment Task Extension due to Extenuating Circumstances (Blue Form) may be lodged with the Front Office. Please note that this is only available for certain military, religious, or legal obligations and does not extend to minor personal problems.

Compassionate Grounds:
In case of certain extraordinary personal problems students can apply for extensions based on compassionate grounds (Blue Form). However, these must first be discussed with the Course Coordinator in person through appointment during the assigned office hours.

Student Support:
For a full range of student support services visit https://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/

Additional Assessment:
If a student receives a Fail grade for the course with an overall mark between 45 and 49, they may be eligible for an Offer of Additional Assessment which would allow them to get a maximum of 50 Pass for the Course.

Additional Assessment offers are made by the School and the student will be informed directly once these are made available.

Disability:
Students who have a disability and wish to seek modified submission or assessment arrangements can contact the
University Disability Services at https://www.adelaide.edu.au/disability/ and then communicate this to the Course Coordinator in person by appointment.

Elite Athlete:
Students who have national/international sporting commitments and wish to seek modified submission or assessment
arrangements need to register with the University Elite Athlete Support Scheme at https://www.adelaide.edu.au/eliteathletes/ and then communicate this to the Course Coordinator in person by appointment.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Please respect the facilities throughout the University.

In the School of Architecture and Built Environment students are required to fabricate models, projects and other hands-on creative activities. Of course, you will make a mess in the process! No problem! Please clean up after yourself. If the materials are recyclable and you don't want to reuse them yourself, put them in the recycling bins. Don't leave paper/cardboard/offcuts on the floor or table, put them in the bin. Don't leave broken blades etc. on tables, put them in a sharps bin. Don't leave work (models, drawings etc) in a space (tutorial room, computer lab, studio) and expect to find it when you come back. The facilities are shared. The School recommends that you store your work in a locker available from ASA or in Hub Central.

The tables in the learning and teaching spaces (tutorial rooms, computer labs, studios) are NOT cutting mats. Would you use an exacto knife or a scalpel to cut model making materials directly on your dining table at home? No? Don't do it at the University. Use a cutting mat. If you don't have one, buy one. All students should have a cutting mat in their Equipment Kit. You are expected to bring this with you if you are model-making, using glue etc.

Students are permitted to bring food and drink into the learning and teaching spaces. Please respect your peers. When you have finished your bottle of water, coffee cup, bubble tea, Coke, juice, Boost, Red Bull etc. etc. put it in the bin. Don't leave your takeaway meal festering on a table cultivating mould. Put it in the bin.

The importance of hygiene and cleanliness is amplified during COVID 19. Respect your peers. Respect your facilities. Please clean up after yourself at all times. This is your responsibility.
