Your Feedback to UsMonash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students, employers and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The University’s student evaluation policy requires that every unit is evaluated each year. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied and areas for improvement.

For more information on Monash’s educational strategy, see:www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/directions.html and on student evaluations, see: www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluation-policy.html

This unit adopts learning and teaching approaches that is both student-centred and research-led. A student-centred approach places students at the centre of the learning process, allowing and equipping them to learn about Ethnic Relations through the learning materials and assessment tasks. Research-led teaching complements this approach by facilitating students’ understanding and experience of research and its contribution to the knowledge that underpins National Language A.

You can also find information on inclusive teaching practices for students with learning disabilities or mental health conditions at: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/inclusivity/

This unit adopts a pastoral care approach to your academic progress and overall wellbeing as a student. University is a time of change, which induces many responses including anxiety, stress and negative thoughts. This time is more stressful with other changes within our lives outside of University. If you do need assistance to manage these changes, or even just talk to someone, there is a lot of support available and support that will help. If your first contact cannot assist directly, they will know who can, so please take the first step and ask.

If you are presenting academic at-risk triggers, including missing classes, late submissions, failing assignments and the like, you may be contacted by your lecturer or Unit Coordinator enquiring if further support is needed. Please take advantage of these opportunities. If you are not contacted, though feel you are at risk, please ask for support. Again, it is unfortunate though normal part of university life to be faced with some difficult situations – there is help to deal with these so please ask for it.

Assessment SummaryA student is required to undertake, attempt, complete and submit all assessment tasks prescribed as the requirement for undertaken, completion and passing of this unit.
