Info

Students Should Avoid: - making a series of statements which are obviously derived from elsewhere and acknowledging or marking as quotation some small part of them; - writing footnotes without precise page references - it is not enough to give just the title, author or "Chapter 3"; - having fifteen books or articles in your bibliography and mentioning only three in your essay - there is no point in listing a work at the end if you have not shown somewhere how you have benefited from it in your essay; - re-telling the plot of literary works without any analysis or comment - assume the marker knows the plot and, if you re-tell some of it, then do so in a way that makes points; - citing anonymous opinions or sources, e.g. "it is widely known", "many people say", "some have said" etc.; always identify and document where such opinions or factual statements come from; - exceeding the length requirement at the expense of the quality of what you hand in; this applies particularly to essays in German, where careful checking of what you have written is essential and brings more marks than submitting long ramblings full of errors of the sort you can easily avoid by taking a bit more time and being a bit more careful. NB. Students should make sure they are familiar with the following policies: All University Policies can be obtained from: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/ Academic Honesty and Assessment Obligations for Coursework Students policy and Academic Dishonesty Procedures Assessment for Coursework Programs Copyright Examinations Student Grievance Resolution Process Unsatisfactory Academic Progress by Coursework Students http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/230/ http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/700/ http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/2643/ http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/465/ http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/grievance/ http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/1803/ Learning Support The German Studies staff are always happy to provide you with support in your academic work. Please ASK if you are not sure about anything. You can also obtain assistance from the Centre for Learning and Professional Development. Their Language and Learning Service is located on level 2 of the Schulz Building. It offers students a range of academic workshops, as well as print and online resources to develop language and learning skills at undergraduate and postgraduate coursework levels. The LLS provides sessions for local and international students with language backgrounds other than English. These include a series of workshops on academic writing, conversation tutorials and a volunteer program for individual conversation development. A special series of workshops designed specifically for postgraduate coursework students is offered each semester. Workshops may also be arranged in response to specific requests from students and staff within departments, schools and faculties. For further information: telephone 8303 5771 or email clpd@adelaide.edu.au or visit the website at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/clpd/lls/ 42
Personal Support Sometimes things go wrong. Staff in German Studies are always sympathetic towards students with genuine problems and we recommend that you let us know about any difficulties or disabilities affecting your academic performance as soon as possible. You can also consult the Learning and Disability Access Services or the Counselling Centre, both on the ground floor of the Horace Lamb Building. 43
