3.8 Marking and Selection Practices
Regarding Minute 11 Meeting 7/94, the Committee noted that Dr Baldwin would submit the requested descriptive paper concerning marking practices to the Committee at a later date.
4. GRADUATE STUDIES WORKING PARTY
4.1 Graduate Diploma Awards
At Meeting 4/94, the Education Committee referred a proposal (Agenda Item 10.7) from the Faculty of Business and Economics to the Graduate Studies Working Party. This proposal stated that
...it be adopted as a general principle that where a lower level course (graduate certificate or graduate diploma) is a prerequisite for a higher level course (graduate diploma or masters degree), the student be permitted to take out both qualifications, but where there is a transfer of credit from the lower level course to the higher then only one qualification be awarded.
The working party recommended to the Education Committee that the proposal be rejected, on the grounds that the proposal would disadvantage students wishing to transfer within the University from one level course to another and that the working party could not see the need to prevent the lower level award from being made.
The Committee returned the proposal to the Faculty of Business and Economics with the recommendation that the principle not be adopted at this time.
4.2 Graduate Course Titles
At Meeting 4/94, the Education Committee referred a proposal (Agenda Item 10.8) from the Faculty of Business and Economics to the Graduate Studies Working Party. This proposal stated that
...graduate diplomas be differentiated and renamed to reflect the difference between broad entry requirements, viz, the designation "graduate diploma" be used where applicants have graduated in another disciplinary area to the diploma, and "postgraduate diploma" where applicants have graduated in the same discipline as the diploma and have three years of sequential knowledge.
The Committee noted that the proposal was rejected by Council in 1991. The working party recommended to the Education Committee that once again the proposal be rejected, as the distinction would prove too difficult to make.
The Committee returned the proposal to the Faculty of Business and Economics with the recommendation that the principle not be adopted at this time, noting that the working party's report had not yet been received and that the decision may need to be reviewed when the working party finalises its report.
5. BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
The Committee noted the correspondence concerning the additional information requested by the Education Committee. The Committee also noted that the course proposal will be resubmitted to the 22 February meeting of the Education Committee, with the additional information requested concerning the structure of the course, and that faculty responses to the course proposal would be submitted to the 5 April meeting of the Education Committee.
6. STUDENT REPRESENTATION
At meeting 7/94, the student representatives requested more time to consider the proposed changes to student membership of the Education Committee. The changes to student organisations passed by Council meant that the student membership of Education Committee subsequently needed to be altered.
The Committee noted that 1995 would be a year of transition for the student organisations, and agreed to await the outcome of the meeting organised by the Secretariat with student organisations to discuss this issue before amending the student membership of the Education Committee. The Committee agreed that current representatives would remain until formal amendments were made, and acknowledged that Ms Morgan would remain on the Committee as the representative of students in Graduate Diploma programs for the interim although she is no longer a student.
7. ACADEMIC MEDALS, VALEDICTORY CEREMONY AND SCHOLARSHIP ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
The Committee received a discussion paper. After discussion of the number of medals to be awarded, the administrative procedures to be used, and the title of the scholarship enhancement program, the Committee agreed to request another version of the paper prior to its submission to the Academic Board. The Committee once again expressed general approval of the proposals.
8. MATTERS REFERRED FROM ACADEMIC BOARD
8.1 Amendment to Regulations for the honours degree of the Bachelor of Arts
The Committee endorsed for transmission to the Academic Board the proposal that Schedule J, Part II, to the Bachelor of Arts regulations be amended by deleting the reference to psychology as an Honours discipline.
8.2 Handbook relating to Assessment in Undergraduate Subjects and Responsibilities of Examiners
The Committee received the document prepared by the Faculty of Law, and commended the paper to all Faculties with a view to the adoption of a comparable document if one is not already in use in the Faculty. The Committee noted the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of the handbook in general.
8.3 Amendment to regulations for the degree of Bachelor of Science
The Academic Board, at Meeting 8/94, agreed to amend the regulations of the BSc degree in order that no person may be awarded the pass and honours degree of Bachelor of Science on the same day. The Education Committee considered, in light of this amendment to legislation, the general question of whether one person should be permitted to take out both a pass and an honours degree. The Committee agreed to advise the Academic Board that at this time one person should be permitted to take out both a pass and an honours degree, but referred the matter to CADeT for greater investigation into the matter. Dr Rodan agreed to provide a discussion paper for CADeT.
