Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is delivered during 7 intensive days of teaching over the trimester period. During these 6-hour sessions (which of course will include lunch and short breaks) students will engage in lectures, tutorial discussions and applied problem solving via case studies. The focus of the course will be an interactive research project with one of our industry mentors and fellow group members. For students studying remotely, all lecture and tutorial sessions will be recorded as with interviews and debriefs with our industry mentors. However, it is expected that group members will maintain close contact between intensive sessions in order to complete the required tasks and maximise learning outcomes.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
This information is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. The University expects full-time students to commit approximately 9 hours for a threeunit course of private study outside of your regular classes. Students in this course are expected to attend sessions in this intensive delivery mode course if at all possible. Students studying remotely must review session recordings and stay in touch with the lecturer and their group members as required to maintain contact and group cohesion.Learning Activities Summary

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
A description and explanation of each assessment is provided below. Please note, this course is not exempt from Assessment for Coursework Programs policy.
Assessment Task Weighting Due Date Learning Outcome Peer Assessment 10% With final report Meeting Minutes. 10% 2x Week 5, 3x week 9 Mentor Interview Report 20% week 4 Reflective Journal 30% week 11 Research Report 30% week 10 Total 100%
NOTE: Specific dates and times will be specified on MyUni.Assessment Related Requirements
Each assessment must be attempted, and an overall grade of at least 50% must be achieved to pass the course overall. Additionally, a poor peer review rating by fellow team members (lower than 5 out of 10 for all team related performance elements assessed) will result in a 5% reduction in a student’s overall grade.Assessment Detail
1. Peer assessment (Individual Assessment) 10%
Working in a group setting can, and usually is, challenging. This is true whether it is in a study or work context. However, the reality of life (especially our working life) is that we must just ‘get on with it’ and work productively with others to achieve common goals. Something that makes this easier is each person making a commitment to sharing work appropriately, allocate tasks according to strengths within the team and to making a strong effort to achieve success.
There are 5 criteria that each of your team members will assess each other group in their team against on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is poor performance and 10 is virtually ‘perfect’ performance, the criteria are explained below:- Openness and flexibility
- Trust and cooperation
- Dutifulness
- Dependability
- Achievement of goals and tasks
2. Minutes of team meetings (Group assessment) 10%
Students must supply the minutes of at least 5 team meetings; these will be included in with the final report. These must be more that an account of who attended and how long the meeting lasted. It is expected that from the first meeting decisions regarding what needs to be done, who will do it and when it will be completed for group review will be recorded. Then in subsequent meetings, progress against action items and deadlines will be reported and subsequent actions decided. There will also be information sharing discussions and teamwork towards overcoming obstacles and problems. Remember also that your lecturer (another mentor in the course) is always available to help and can be invited to meetings, or to provide advice/feedback prior or post a meeting. It is not expected that minutes will be pages long – bullet points and summaries of discussions are fine – just so long as it is clear what took place, was achieved and decided. You may minute more meetings but 5 will be assessed. Students that are studying remotely can take part via Skype or telephone or other forms of ‘online chat’ that are available.
3. Mentor interview report (Individual Assessment) 20%
This is a report respective to the successful interview of mentors. It will be approximately 2000 words in length and will provide an overview of your findings from the interview and will include a list of interview questions that were asked by your team and your personal assessment (with examples) of the quality and quantity of the information that was received. It will also include a summary of what was learned from answers to questions posed by other groups and your views of the success of the interview overall. You should also include identification of information that you still need to acquire and where you may source this. It is expected that all groups will record the interviews and share this audio file for your reference. Of course the lecture will be recorded and provided on MyUni for the benefit of students studying remotely.
4. Reflective journal (Individual Assessment) 30%
This aspect of the overall assessment carries as much weight as the investigative report that you are also required to complete. A major focus of this course is to encourage individuals to reflect on the process of learning about a specific topic (and the reporting on that topic) and also to apply critical thinking to this process as well as their individual team experiences. This journal is more than a diary, and mere ‘descriptions’ of events or topics will not justify strong assessment marks. There are a number of readings that will be provided in addition to discussion and explanation in lectures.
5. Research report (Group Assessment) 30%
Each of the mentors will be presenting the class with a ‘problem’ specific to their area of interest. Each group will be assigned to either Ms Harvey’s task or Mr Croser’s and will be required to interview them and to use their information, plus a wide range of information sourced by the team to address the question and complete a report of not less than 7000 words (not including any appendices) that investigates the context of the question and provides some clear strategies and recommendations respective to it.
At our first meeting all students will be allocated to groups (including remote students) and will be assigned to a mentor.
Submission
All assignments are to be submitted by the due date using the Turnitin facility on the course MyUni website. Assignments will be marked electronically and returned that way too. Please remember to keep a copy of all your work. Each assignment must also have an assignment cover sheet as its first page and title page after that.
Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.
Return of Assignments
Lecturers aim to marked and return assignments to student within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback.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.
