Your Feedback to Us
Monash 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:

Learning and Teaching Approach
This unit employs an active learning strategy with a blended learning approach; combination of face-to-face learning and
online learning each week for at least 12 weeks. All students in this unit are expected to develop the independent learning
skills required for university study and professional life.
All students must ensure they have access to the resources required for successful completion of this unit. The minimum
resources required for this unit include the following:
● Internet access for accessing Moodle and online materials;
● Computer / laptop / tablet / mobile phones to access Moodle and watch online videos;
● Good, above average high quality headphones or earbuds for audio listening;
● Other related resources such as handouts provided by the lecturer, the unit’s Moodle site, and academic articles
from the Monash library databases and other related and required information.
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 Islamic and
Asian Civilizations 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
Islamic and Asian Civilizations.
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
7
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.
