COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ecology is the study of the relationships between plants, animals, people, and their environment and importantly, the balances between these relationships. It includes studying and understanding the ecology of a place and the patterns and balance of relationships between plants, animals, people, and the environment in that place. 

Advanced Ecology guides students to explore and demonstrate an understanding of the importance of ecological principles in planting design, hydrology, habitat restoration, planting installation, and maintenance for sustainable and healthy landscapes. Advanced Ecology students will gain first-hand experience in growing, maintaining, planting, and identifying plants in collaboration with specialists in both landscape architecture and horticulture.  This course encourages a creative and sustainable approach to planting design based on a deep understanding of ecology. Creative and clear representational methods are developed to communicate a range of aesthetic and ecological values such as planting community structure, plant texture, and plant form. Products developed within the course include a planting concept and planting set-out plan.

By creating an open dialogue with horticultural and conservation disciplines and a range of leading landscape architecture practitioners, students gain a practical and holistic understanding of the horticultural process in landscape architectural projects. Further students are supported to develop their own ethical and philosophical approach to ecology and planting design based on the relationships between living things, constructed and natural environments, and place. 

This course prepares students for a future career in landscape architecture and the foundation skills for life-long learning in planting design and the design of constructed ecologies. Students are expected to have a high level of graphic and visual communication skills or invest time in developing these skills. All assignments include hand drawing and some include Rhino, CAD, InDesign and other design softwares provided by the university via the software centre.

Online Learning:
Lecture summaries, image pdfs, handouts, links for further reference and additional material will be posted on the MyUni website following the relevant class.
Discussion board will form the initial point of contact for a course related enquiries. Discussions will be opened up each assignment and will act as an online collaborative learning environment with student engagement and peer assistance vital.

University Email:
The school uses the University email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

Noticeboard / Handbook:
General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-student-architecture/current-student. Students can also access a copy of the Student Handbook at the following link: https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-student-architecture/current-student

This course uses lectures, tutorials, site visits, and presentations to develop required knowledge. To do well in this course students must bring their draft assignments for review on a weekly basis. Receiving feedback, from your tutors and peers is critical to developing design thinking and successful design outcomes. It generates opportunities to improve and develop concepts and ideas.

Lectures
Engagement with lectures is compulsory and required to effectively develop assignments with the necessary conceptual accuracy and depth. Lectures will be via zoom. We will have a series of high-profile guest masterclasses. All students are to give their best attention and engage positively with the guests.

Tutorials
Tutorials will be undertaken in a studio mode. Studios are project-focused learning modes where participants "learn by doing". Students are expected to be present and engage either via zoom or face to face. Exploratory design exercises and progress crits will encourage strong exploration of contemporary design approaches and presentation techniques.

The University expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:

Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs

These 120 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely. This is a 3unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend three hours lecture, tutorials, site visits and studio each week and devote 9 hours of self-directed learning to this course. Tutorials and studio are an important component of your learning in this course. The communication skills developed in tutorials and practical sessions by regularly and actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

Marking & Feedback (General)
Final results for the course will only be available through Access Adelaide and students should not contact the course coordinator or the tutors for the same.
Feedback for in-class submissions will only be available during the tutorial as oral critique in the style of studio wall-crits. Students should arrange with peers to make notes for reference.

Submission/Notes on Assessment
For information on the University’s Good Practice Guidelines for assessment, refer to:
http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/700/

1. Assessment criteria will be used to assess students’ work. The criteria for each assignment will be
    indicated on the assignment handout.
2. To gain a pass in this course, all assignments need to be passed in all their parts (> 50%).
    Students can redeem failed assignments by resubmitting the work as academic supplementary assessment
3. The quality of English expression is considered to be an integral part of the assessment process.
    Marks may be deducted because of poor language skills.

All studio presentations and pin ups to be completed and ready for presentation/pin up at prior tutorial start time, or as assignment states, late submissions will not be accepted and automatic fail grade applied.
Project 2B to be submitted to the Submission Box by Thursday 30th April by 3pm, late submissions will not be accepted.

The submission dates and locations for various assignments associated with this course are:

Submissions:
All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number.

General:
Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.
In addition, all assignments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.
Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.
Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.
On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission:
There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

Late Submission:
The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.
Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Re-submission:
The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%.

Good practice:
Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations as hard-disk crashes are an unfortunate reality.
When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.
Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.

For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Assessment Task Extension(s) & Additional Assessment guidelines:

Modified Arrangements (General):
Students can apply for extensions or modified arrangements based on Medical conditions or other Extenuating circumstances. However, students need to submit their application along with supporting documents within 5 business days of the condition becoming applicable.
The application forms are available from the Front Office and at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/mod_arrange.html and need to be submitted at the Front Office along with any supporting documentation.
Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance and the Course Coordinator will inform the applicant if the application is accepted. Please DO NOT contact the Course Coordinator directly.

Medical Reasons:
In case of an extended medical condition which makes it impossible for the student to submit the work on time, an Application for Assessment Task Extension due to Medical Circumstances may be lodged with the Front Office along with a doctor’s certificate within 5 business days.

Extenuating:
If the student is unable to submit the work on time due to extenuating Circumstances an Application for Assessment Task Extension due to Extenuating Circumstances may be lodged with the Front Office.
Please note that this is only available for certain military, religious, or legal obligations and does not extend to minor personal problems.

Compassionate Grounds:
In case of certain extraordinary personal problems students can apply for extensions based on compassionate grounds. However, these must first be discussed with the Course Coordinator in person through appointment during the assigned office hours.
To maintain privacy relating to personal issues students can contact the University Transition and Advisory Service at 8313 0100 or transition@adelaide.edu.au, or approach the Counselling Service on 83035663 for an individual appointment.

Additional Assessment:
If a student receives a Fail grade for the course with an overall mark between 45 and 49, they may be eligible for an Additional Assessment which would allow them to get a maximum of 50 Pass for the Course.
Additional Assessment offers are made by the School and the student will be informed directly once these are made available.

Disability:
Students who have a disability and wish to seek modified submission or assessment arrangements need to contact the University Disability Services at 83135962 or disability@adelaide.edu.au for supporting documentation and then communicate these to the Course Coordinator in person through appointment during the assigned office hours.
