ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This thesis has been written with the help and support of a long list of people to whom I am most grateful. It is to them that I dedicate this thesis.

First and foremost, I owe a great debt of gratitude to my supervisor Professor Li Yuanyuan for her well-informed guidance and great patience in introducing me to the wonderful realm of linguistics and literature over the past two and a half years of my study at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Had it not been for his insightful advice and his constructive comments, especially her painstaking revisions of every draft of each chapter of this thesis, it would never have taken the present form.

Last but not least, I must mention some of those people for whom I come to realize how lucky I am. I am indebted with the greatest gratitude to my parents and my husband, without whose continuous spiritual and financial support it would have been hard for me to pursue my academic study. I cannot forget my best friends Ms. Wu for always being there for me with much tolerance and no demand of me ever since we first met five and a half years ago, and Ms. Wu for sharing my joys and sorrows.

As backed up by Australian government, AQAA (Australian Quality Assurance Association) possesses the abundant resources and information including financial, people, equipment support and capacity to ensure commitment of quality offered. As a member of CQU, AQAA has the eligibility and accountability to monitor and manage the educational quality and service launched by CQU.

In order to inspect CQU’s operation home and abroad and ensure same delivery, AQAA makes use of various methods to evaluate quality control especially joint program in other countries. AQAA periodically sends observer and inspector to RDI in the hope of visiting and filtering appropriate and suitable procedures to be executed. Moreover, experienced and qualified teachers are encouraged to report their teaching and research progress according to prescribed curriculum and teaching syllabus for regularization and standardization.

Aside from these, AQAA develops quality control surface that organizes and manages major operation of joint program to record merits and demerits. This surface conforms with international standard of ISO9001. (姜吉林, 2003)

A Student Identification Card is essential and crucial for students gain entry to examination venues, and may be required for online library surfing and lending. Once enrollment procedures are completed, CQU will mail cards to RDI for dissemination.

4.3 Course and Teaching Methodology

The joint program curriculum activates the multi teaching methods to avoid traditional and over theoretical oriented teaching leading to impact of losing study passion through the student. To achieve overall outcome of interactive learning and teaching, lecturers may enters the workshop or studio if student’s request is really helpful and constructive. Moreover, field trip and mentorship are also applied to help the student solve the problem and cultivate their tackling skills in real environment devoted to business sectors. As a result of this, both sides have poured a large amount of funds to establish advanced and practicable base such as auditorium, ladder room and others in order to enliven class atmosphere and effectiveness with realistic working scenarios anticipated in their future career and business as well as facilitate learning equipment. Besides, RDI usually invites distinguished guest speakers and experts outside to deliver and speech and seminar, workshop for students in the hope of enlarging their scope of knowledge and broadening extra curricular activities. Teachers together with students visit the company and factory to understand more functional running and operation in business so that they can put learned theory into real practice, and have sensible and sensitive attraction. Group discussion, tutorial, case study, interactive session are all concrete forms and teaching method to meet personalized needs of students. Multimedia used in teaching prevails in all learned subjects. Its application is integration of traditional teaching method and information technology. Students are expected to benefit from multi teaching ways and synthesizing their capacity and aptitude.

4.4 Course and Module Design

4.5 Course and Teaching Evaluation

4.5.1 Significance of Course and Teaching Evaluation

Good teaching encourages student learning in high and efficient way and motivates active engagement in the subject. Evaluation is about course and teaching. It is a process by us to collect information and evidence about teacher’s work and make appropriate judgment. A fundamental responsibility of all academic staff is that of course and teaching. Course and teaching are defined to include not only classroom performance but also contains the design and implementation of the curriculum and course. Student feedbacks are one of key source data to evaluate course and teaching. Evaluation between CQU and RDI can be used for two purposes.

a)To identify and clarify weakness or other drawbacks in course and teaching wit an observation

to the development, remediation and improvement in course and teaching area.

b)To make judicious conclusion about the quality of course and teaching for demonstrating

evidence of promotion and career development.

4.5.2 Research Scope and Target Respondent

The target respondents are RDI’s third year degree students in joint program of CQU. Research scope is containing six categories of hypothesis and investigation.

The first is to focus on clear course objective and criteria.

The second is to explore suitable learning burden and task given to students.

The third is to investigate correct course and performance assessment.

The fourth is to survey sound implementation of good teaching.

The fifth is to know regular teaching method.

The sixth is to probe cognitive circumstance of teaching module.

4.5.3 Research Method and Evaluation Design

Course and teaching evaluation of CQU and RDI is to adopt questionnaire investigation for the purpose of collecting student feedback data. Simultaneously, individual interview and consultation to related material and literature are also applied to sort out and analyze. Taking course and teaching evaluation in academic year 2005 for example, evaluation staff of RDI distributed 202 pieces of questionnaire and retrieved valid 200. In accordance with principles of effectiveness and comprehensiveness, we design questions covering clear goal and criteria, good teaching, correct assessment, learning strategy, learning resource, appropriate course framework and structure, individual effort and other facets to collect evidence and make scientific probe and research. Staff printed out about 202 pieces of questionnaire after completing design and compiling sequence of questions. Meantime, special statistical processing network and software, appropriate equipment was setting up for usage.

4.5.4 Research Data and Outcome

The following charts elucidate research data and outcome of evaluation jointly conducted by CQU and RDI in 2005. The statistical software comprehensively analyzed the data and generated
