Written components to each of the assignments should be submitted through the Turnitin portal for each assignment. For the Literature Review and the Essay, this means the complete assignment is submitted this way. There is a short descriptive component to the Creative Work Assignment which should also be submitted via Turnitin. Other aspects of the Creative Work Assignment may take different forms and submission/performance details will be discussed in-class.

The Faculty of Arts Policy regarding the late submission of work will be applied for all submissions in this unit. Even though there are no "time sensitive tasks" in this unit (see below), the complete faculty policy is as follows:

Late Assessment Submission Penalty  

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a mark of ‘0’ (zero) will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11.55pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical issue.    

This late penalty will apply to non-timed sensitive assessment (incl essays, reports, posters, portfolios, journals, recordings etc). Late submission of time sensitive tasks (such as tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, scheduled practical assessments/labs etc) will only be addressed by the unit convenor in a Special Consideration application. Special Consideration outcomes may result in a new question or topic. 

Delivery of Lectures and Tutorials

It is expected that students will attend all lectures and tutorials in the unit, and attendance will be taken. In addition, students should visit the iLearn site for the unit in order to keep track of assignment details, topic descriptions, extra resources, and reading materials. Students should read the readings set for each week's topic before the lecture and tutorial.

In most cases, the lecture for this unit will be delivered face-to-face in Room 187 at 10 Hadenfeld Avenue. Lecture and tutorial times may be found on the central timetable system. There will be some occasions when guest lectures have to be delivered in an online pre-recorded format. In such cases, students will be reminded of the online format through the iLearn announcement system. For this reason students MUST organise to receive the unit iLearn announcements in a consistent way.

The recordings of all lectures (whether delivered live or pre-recorded) will be placed in the ECHO 360 online system in iLearn. However, it is expected that students enrolled internally will attend the live lecture prior to attending their tutorial for that week. Students enrolled externally will need to access the lecture recording through the ECHO system prior to attending the online tutorial.

Tutorials will normally not be recorded.

As is normal, there is a cap on student numbers for each tutorial. Students should sign up for the appropriate tutorial through e-student. Because of the nature of online delivery, learning strategies and procedures for the online tutorial will be slightly different to the in-class face-to-face tutorials. Naturally, learning topics, readings, assessment tasks and learning outcomes will remain the same for all students.

Tutorials are designed to focus on the assessment tasks for the unit - particularly the final Creative Work for the unit. In addition, specific tutorials will provide details for the Literature Review and the Essay assignments. Nonetheless, many of the tutorials will be of a practical nature in which students will be introduced to musical traditions and sounds from around the world.

Yes - Tutorials begin in Week 1
