Online Learning

Students will need to regularly access the Food Processing Technology IIl, My Uni course site for:

1. Course announcements, including information regarding changes to the course program.

2. Copies of the lecture power points. These will be uploaded onto the course My Uni site prior to each lecture. Students are expected to download the PowerPoint as lecture handouts and bring these with them
to the lecture.

3. Copies of assignments and assessment information

My Uni can be accessed via http://myuni.adelaide.edu.au/.

Learning & Teaching Modes

Lectures supported by practicals to develop the material covered in the lectures. Time allocated to lectures and practicals can be used for tutorials on request.

Workload

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

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

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 Detail

Task 1

Practical report 1 & 2

Format
Answer questions will be based on practical aims, outcomes and skills learnt. Students required interpreting and discussing the results. This includes costing, suggestions for improvements and minimising error.

Some practical may require full formal practical write up including Aims, Introduction, Materials & Method, Results, Discussion and Conclusion

Students will be required to:
1 apply their knowledge and understanding of the principles of hygiene, food handling, cross contamination, cleaning and sanitising and working through the process chart and application of HACCP
2 research information about food preservation techniques and food spoilage from a variety of sources
3 analyse the data collected and evaluate and critique information gathered in relation to the observed results
4 produce table, graphs and diagrams

Further details of this report will be given during the practical sessions.

Assessment Criteria
Practical report 1 & 2 contributes to 20% of the overall mark for this course.

Task 2

Format
Long answer questions.

Students will be required to:
1. apply their knowledge and understanding of material covered in the lecturers to unfamiliar problems;
2. research information from a variety of sources
3. analyse data and produce charts, diagrams and discuss
4. synthesise solutions to novel problems
5. evaluate and critique information.

Further details of this assignment will be given during the lectures.

Assessment Criteria
Assignments contribute to 20% of the overall mark for this course.

Submission

All assessable components must be handed in at the Applied Food Studies Office, Regency TAFE by 2.00pm of the due date.

If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.

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
HD	85-100	High Distinction
CN		Continuing
NFE		No Formal Examination
RP		Result Pending

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.
