Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

Students are strongly suggested to attend all classes to understand, discuss and write about each topic. Participation in lectures and tutorials, including responses to other students' oral presenations, will be carefully recorded and included to the participation mark.

Assessment Task 1

Wattle-based class preparation

• Wattle-based class preparation is essential in this student-initiated course for the best result in language learning.
• There will be online tasks to be submitted fortnightly before a new topic starts.
• The tasks are going to test the students' pre-study of the texts in the form of timed-quizzes on Wattle, such as explaining meanings of new expressions, summarising the text and finding the best words to describe a words in the text. Students are expected to read given texts thoroughly and answer the questions to attain marks.
• The marks for the quizzes will be posted on Wattle in two weeks after each submission deadline.

Assessment Task 2

Bi-weekly essays

• Bi-weekly essays are designed to enhance reading and writing skills at a professional level and to improve analytical and critical research skills in examining the

designated topics.

• Every fortnight when the class finishes a topic, students are expected to write an essay to discuss the topic in 500 words or more using at least 3 references. An essay for higher mark will include summary of the phenomenon discussed in class, the student's original interpretation of the topic and critical use of references.
• There will be 5 essays in total throughout the course and each essay is due on Sunday of Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 by midnight.
• The feedback on the bi-weekly essays will be provided in two weeks after each submission deadline.

Assessment Task 3

Oral presentation

• Individual oral presentation followed by Q&A is designed to enhance speaking skills and communicative strategies.
• Students are required to study a designated reading that they choose from the topics of the course and give an oral presentation to the class in a tutorial for 20 minutes. The presentation is expected to include summary of the reading text, explanation of difficult or important words in the text, the student's own interpretation of the text and the cultural background and possible relation or extended discussion to the main reading text discussed during the lecture. In addition to the contents of the presentation, how it is delivered, such as fluency, choice of words, grammar and pronunciation, is also marked.
• A presentation material such as PPT slides or a Word document file needs to be uploaded on Wattle by the day before the oral presentation.

Assessment Task 4

Final paper

• The Final paper will reflect the culmination of the learning done over the course of the semester, not only in terms of lanauge proficiency at a professional level but also acquisition of relevant historical and sociocultural knowledge through reading and writing about the weekly topics. The essay should conform to proper academic style, using appropriate level vocabulary, grammar and discourse patterns as well as providing a clear thesis statement with supporting data.
• Students choose a topic among those covered in the course and write a 1500 words essay to critically discuss the phenomenon using 10 references or more. A higher mark will be given to a student who effectively shows his/her understanding of the topic by adapting accurate expressions in a well-developed structure. It is also critical for students to present their own perspectives to the phenomenon rather than simply repeating what is said in the readings and to refer to relevant references where appropriate in their argument for better marks.
• The Final paper is due on the 10th of November.

Assessment Task 5

Class participation

• The course is heavily discussion-oriented, so class participation is particularly important. Spoken activities will promote language proficiency and students will learn how to generate interesting questions and express their point of view effectively.
• Actual attendance and participation in class like answering to questions of the instructor, asking questions or making comments to other students' oral presentation and exchanging opinions in the discussions for each topic will be counted as class participation for every lecture and tutorial. It is not a matter of quality of the speech but is about the active attitude, so students are encouraged to speak freely and more in class.
