WINE 7011B - Wine Business Research Project Part B

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 2 - 2024

The purpose of the Research Project (B) is to enable students to analyse real-world wine business problems or opportunities. In this part of the course, students will present their draft research findings to their peers and industry partners (where relevant). Feedback from the presentations will then be used to develop the final research report. Whilst the structure of the Research Project Report can be different between projects, students are expected to follow the guidelines and discuss with their supervisors if a modification of the Report structure is needed.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Draft Findings Presentations (10%)

    Final Project Presentations (10%)

    Final Report (70%)

    Tutorial Participation (10%)
    Assessment Related Requirements
    All assignments are to be lodged prior to the due date and time. A late assignment where no extension has been granted will be penalised by a reduction of 5% of the mark given for each day, or part of a day, that it is late.

    Assignment extensions must be submitted in conjunction with reading the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy which outlines the rules for extensions. Extensions to the due date of individual assessment may be granted under special circumstances. An extension request based on illness or compassionate grounds can be completed online: https://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/assessment-applications/assessment-extension

    For assessments weighted 20% or less, or for extensions of less than 24 hours, please speak to your Course Coordinator before completing the form as in this situation, the documentation requirements may be reduced or not required.
    Assessment Detail

    Draft Findings Presentations (10%)

    You will be required to develop and deliver a brief Draft Findings Presentation that outlines your chosen data analysis techniques, the data analysis process that you took (including data preparation and manipulation, if relevant), and a summary of your key findings based on your analysis to date.

    Final Project Presentations (10%)

    You will be required to develop and deliver a brief Final Presentation that provides an overview of your entire project, including research background, scope and positioning with the literature, methodology and design, analysis, and conclusions.

    Final Report (70%)

    You will be required to submit your final thesis/research report. Your final submission should follow the outlined format guide available on MyUni. Examples of final theses/research reports are available on MyUni to support you in developing your final submission. Please note that these are for illustrative purposes only—the final structure of your submission should adhere to the format guide and be appropriate for the context of your own research project. 

    Tutorial Participation (10%)

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
