Sudio Cultures is a design studio and requires your active participation and commitment to be successful and learn.

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.

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

Activities include lectures, site visits, demonstrations, student presenations, in-class workshops, student presenations, design review, desktop review and final formal presenations

Assignment details will be handed out in class and posted on MyUni.
There will be three Assignments:

Design Research  20%
Mapping 20%
Major Design Project 60%

SUBMISSION

All assignments must be submitted at the time and place as indicated. Note that NO LATE submissions will be accepted unless it is due to illness and other accepted circumstances as explained in the School's Student Handbook.

Selected submissions of the Final Assignment will be included in the All-In Exhibition at the end of the semester.

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.


In addition, all assignments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.


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.


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.

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)
