Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1.

These skills and practices are expected to be developed to a more mature degree than those achieved during the Music Advanced Minor Project.
2. Exhibit a range of musical, analytical, problem solving, communication, technological and research skills that underpin the independent and imaginative creation and development of a performance, creative or research project. These skills are expected to be in advance of those achieved during the Music Advanced Minor Project.
3. Manifest an informed understanding of the standards required for professional endeavour in Music together with an ability to insightfully assess one’s own work and that of fellow musicians in advance of that required for the Music Advanced Minor Project.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
No information currently available.
Assessment Detail
Assessment in this course will involve the following elements:
1. Project Proposal Presentation: 20%
Each student will present their Project Proposal will to the seminar in Week 3 (usually) of the semester. Further instructions and timelines will be given to the students in Week 1 of the course.
2. Seminar Presentation: 30%
The Seminar Presentation will usually be given in the final weeks of the semester. Further instructions (including a schedule of presentations) will be given to the students in Week 1 of the course.
3. Final Project Submission: 40%
The nature of the Final Project will depend on the student’s Major and the area of specialisation within that Major. The tailoring of the project itself will determine the exact form of the Final Submission. Therefore, the specific details of the assessment will be mutually agreed upon by both the student, the relevant Head of Studies and the Course Co-ordinator following the Proposal presentation.
4. Active participation in seminars: 10%Submission

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.
