  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    The course requires students to engage in studentdriven research in a small team context working under the guidance of Prof Orth. To properly craft and refine their brand concept they must devise an appropriate research strategy to locate information from selfdetermined sources and, working together, rigorously evaluate the information using criteria based on experience, expertise and literature. They must identify specific knowledge gaps and determine and appropriate methodology for synthesising, organising and applying the knowledge to fill those gaps.

    The art and science of successful brand management requires adopting a highly structured approach that applies the insights obtained through the lectures to creatively solve a practical problem. In addition, students are required to persuasively communicate their brand concept to a range of audiences using discipline specific and appropriate language.

    Hence, this course aims to develop and enhance the skills needed to effectively create and manage a brand, work in a small team context, show leadership and cooperation to achieve the required outcome. This involves data collection, interviewing, and ultimately, report writing including strategic recommendations. Finally, the continuing development of good research, teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills is widely recognised as important for all graduates.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
