Of the subjects proposed under this item, sixteen are new subjects for establishment, forty-two are new subject by virtue of a change to credit points and fourteen are new subjects by virtue of an additional year level of offering.
For information, members are invited to note additional information about the proposals under this item:
The new subjects GSC4309, 4310 and 4311 will be offered in a combination of on and off-campus mode;
Further information about the INM subjects provided by the Faculty of Arts: The INM Study Abroad subjects are proposed as a consequence of the ruling that every subject must henceforth have a single points value. In the past, there was one subject code at each year level that was given various points weightings, depending on the subjects the student was taking at the overseas university. With the new codes proposed, there will be separate codes for 6, 12, and 24 points at second and third year:
INM2990 (existing code) becomes 6 points
INM2991 is 12 points
INM2992 is 24 points
INM3990 (existing code) becomes 6 points
INM3991 is 12 points
INM3992 is 24 points
At fourth year, Arts will henceforth approve coursework at 6 and 12 points only, not at 24, so there are codes just for those values. The Faculty has been advised that at Honours level, for Callista purposes, to distinguish mid-year entry students, there are three separate codes that are all at 12 points (one for first semester, one for second semester, and one for summer semester); and
The INM and INS subjects listed will be offered off-campus in Indonesia with students attending classes at the Gadjah Mada University (Yogyakarta) in Indonesia, with which Monash University has an existing agreement.
