ARTS 3100 - Community Engagement Learning Project

North Terrace Campus - Winter - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

This course is focused on matching student skills to community and business needs in host organisations in the government, NGO and private sectors while developing cultural awareness, a sense of social justice and community engagement. It is organised over a 4 week period on an intensive mode basis (or equivalent). Students will be linked up with a host organisation (particularly those dealing with social service issues such as homelessness, aboriginal issues, international aid, social justice, refugees and youth unemployment) and become active participants in the organisation, engaging with members of the community and developing skills that will make them better able to contribute to society as global citizens. They will work with the host organisation to engage with and understand everyday issues that are being faced by the organisation and research and help provide solutions and appropriate responses to such needs and issues in the workplace. Students will complete a research project or professional portfolio, as well as a learning journal throughout the course, which enables them to reflect on their experience and their use of knowledge and skills gained throughout their degree. Places will be reserved for international students, (particularly those doing Liberal Arts and related degrees) who wish to experience a work placement/internship in the Australian context.

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.
