Learning & Teaching Modes

This course uses a number of different teaching and learning approaches including:

Lectures (online recordings)
Problem solving tutorials, demonstrations and activities
Quizzes
Laboratory practicals
Design project
Examination

The lectures are supported and reinforced by the additional teaching modes including formal (laboratory and design) and informal activities. The design project allows the skills developed over the course of the semester through the tutorials to be applied to a real-world situation.

Workload

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

Please note that, in general, for each formal contact hour it is expected that a minimum of 2 additional hours of independent study are undertaken. The following table shows an estimate of students' workload:

Activity	Contact Hours	Independent Study Hours	Total
Lectures	30	18	48
Tutorial Assignments	8	18	26
Laboratories	5	8	13

Learning Activities Summary

Further information on the learning activities is provided on MyUni.

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.

This assessment breakdown complies with the University's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.

Assessment Related Requirements

Safety and Behaviour in Laboratories
Students are required to follow the Occupational Health and Safety requirements of the laboratories. Any student not complying with the requirements maybe removed from the laboratory and receive a zero for that practical.

Groupwork
This course includes peer assessment for the tasks undertaken within groups (i.e. the design project). Further detail of the peer assessment is contained on MyUni. To maintain the integrity of the assessment task(s) there is a requirement that all students within a group contribute to each assessment task. Where there is evidence that group members have not sufficiently contributed to a group assessment task, the Academic Integrity Policy may be applied.

Hurdles
Consistent with School policy, in order to pass the course, students must obtain at least 40% in the examination.
Where the exam hurdle is not met students will receive a course result of the lesser of their calculated grade and the nominal
grade of 45 Fail. An additional assessment exam will be available to eligible students. Students should refer to the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy for eligibility criteria.

In addition, and in accordance with the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment policy, students must complete all specified mandated assessment tasks/course activities* to be eligible for an Additional Assessment.

* i.e. Attendance to Laboratory practicals and submission of laboratory reports

Students must attend their scheduled laboratory sessions, make up sessions will not be allowed. Students who miss a session due to illness should contact the course co-ordinator as soon as possible and provide a medical certificate.

Assessment Detail

Full details of each assessment task will be provided through MyUni.

Submission

Submission Format
All submissions for the course will be electronic, through MyUni.

Deadlines
Deadlines are an integral part of an engineer's professional life, and the discipline of getting work finished on time is an essential one to acquire. A penalty of 10% per 24 hours (or part thereof) will apply for late submissions.

Students eligible for special consideration (e.g. elite athletes, students with access plans) are requested to advise the course coordinator as early as possible where alternate arrangements will be required. Extensions requests on medical, compassionate or extenuating grounds must be requested in line with the Modified Arrangement for Coursework Assessment Policy (MACA Policy) using the associated form with appropriate documentation attached.

Academic Integrity Policy
The Academic Integrity Policy applies to all students, and students are advised to be familiar with the policy. Software (e.g. TurnItIn) may be used to verify the originality of submissions.

Course Grading

Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
Grade	Mark	Description
FNS		Fail No Submission
F	1-49	Fail
P	50-64	Pass
C	65-74	Credit
D	75-84	Distinction

Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

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.
