4. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

*4.1 Exam Timetabling Working Party / Academic Year Working Party / Common Vacation Dates
RMO2005/1005

Documentation was tabled at the meeting and is attached to the minutes.

The Education Committee noted the revised recommendations of the Examination Timetabling Working Party, as approved by the Academic Board 6/2005. The revised Week 13 of Semester policy was noted and as advised by the Chair at Meeting 5/05 this would be an interim solution until the underlying issues regarding the academic year had been investigated and resolved.

The Chair updated the Committee regarding progress of a working party reviewing the issue of the length of the academic year, incorporating the mooted issue of the feasibility and desirability of an official swot vac period. Members noted that the Academic Year Working Party would consider various scenarios of semester length and options for a swot vac. The Chair advised that further analysis of the swot vac arrangements at other Australian universities would be conducted, with Melbourne, Deakin and UNSW being the focus of the working party’s investigations. The Committee noted that four possible semester length scenarios would be developed for consideration and assessment by focus groups and student polls.

Further changes to the academic year were also foreshadowed. The Chair advised of the review of common vacation dates by the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee. In response to suggested changes that the spring mid-semester break commence at week 29 (instead of AVCC week 31), the Committee provided feedback and support for change to move the mid-semester break to week 9 (instead of week 11) in semester two, provided a swot vac in that semester could be achieved.

Action: The Committee:

• noted the revised recommendations of the Examination Timetabling Working Party and noted the revised Week 13 of Semester policy; and
• noted the advice of the Chair regarding the progress of the Academic Year Working Party on swot vac and semester length.

On the proposed change to the spring mid-semester break, the Committee approved the recommendation that:

• provided academic staff do not forecast difficulty in adjusting their teaching patterns, and provided a swot vac in that semester could be achieved, a change to an earlier spring mid-semester break could be supported. However, utilisation of a true "mid" semester break should be considered, being located at Week 26 of the AVCC calendar.

Action/Information: Associate Professor T Luff, Mr P Yates, Mr G Toohey

*4.2 Biannual Faculty Reports on Approved Course and Unit Developments RMO2005/0611

Documentation was attached. The Education Committee received and noted the biannual reports of the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences for the periods outlined below.

Mr Peter Yates, Divisional Director, Student and Community Services, was invited to update the Committee regarding progress of a working group looking at the issue of user and business requirements to support faculty compliance in the reporting of course and unit approvals. Members noted that the working group would approach the issue from a business requirement perspective and consider the issues regarding assessment of repositories and methodology to be applied.

The Chair confirmed that a review of 2004 course approvals was being undertaken and requested faculties to provide their assistance to the exercise. Members noted Ms Eileen Wilson, a former faculty manager at Monash, was commissioned for the review. The results of the exercise would be reported back to the Education Committee.

Action: The Education Committee

• noted the advice of the Chair;

Action/Information: Faculty Managers, Mr P Yates.

*4.3 Education Plan 2006-10 RMO2002/1564

Documentation was tabled at the meeting and is attached. The Chair thanked the participants of the Education Plan Workshop held on 22 September and for their engagement in the debate of the issues. The Chair reported on feedback about the exposure draft that was due to be presented to Academic Board 6/05 and it was agreed to submit the Plan for approval at Academic Board 7/05, for transmission to Council on 412 December. Members noted that the objectives had been recast, in light of feedback that had been provided following the workshop. Noting the addition of two new objectives in the Plan (Objectives 1.2 and 1.5), the Committee noted the revised proposed objectives:

1. To be excellent in education according to external judgement and measures.

1.1 Achieve excellent results in indices and ratings.

1.2 Achieve excellent results in external audits and assessments.

1.3 Achieve recognition by employers for our preparation of excellent graduates.

2. To be excellent in education according to our own judgement and measures.

2.1 Establish frameworks for further development of internationalism in coursework programs at Monash.

2.2 Foster and enhance research-led teaching and learning.

2.3 Ensure that Monash courses and teaching are relevant and responsive to the needs of our students and other key stakeholders.

2.4 Ensure that the Monash Student Experience provides transformative opportunities for the intellectual and personal development of all our students.

2.5 Ensure that the multi-campus nature of Monash is used to the greatest academic advantage of our staff and students.

2.6 Help our graduates to become ethical, employable, global citizens.

The Chair highlighted the realignment of Objective 1.1 to reflect the overarching result of Monash’s performance across the seven scales of the Learning and Teaching Performance Fund that would drive the Plan. Members provided feedback about the objectives, including the repetition of the term "excellence", and it was agreed to vary the language in the objectives and sub-objectives. Members noted that there might be some crossover between the wording of the Monash University Research Plan and the Education Plan.

Action: The Committee discussed the revised objectives and, with minor amendments to the wording, endorsed the Education Plan 2006-10 objectives. A full draft of the plan will be circulated to the Committee for comment.

Action/Information: Dr D Murphy

*4.4 Findings – Review of Academic Policy and Compliance with Academic Policies RMO2000/0766

Documentation was circulated. Professor Merran Evans, Pro Vice-Chancellor Planning, was invited to speak to this item. Ms Shona Le Grand, Executive Officer, University Planning and Statistics, was in attendance.

The Education Committee noted that an initial analysis of the faculty responses suggested that there were some issues of non-compliance or uncertain compliance. Further investigation is needed to ascertain whether these are simply minor variances in order to fit with local conditions or whether there are some more significant impediments. The Chair and Professor Evans will discuss the matter and take certain issues up with particular faculties.

Professor Evans highlighted the following policy areas for attention, as a potential compliance issue, noting that some policies may have lapsed, including:

• cancellation of units;
• copyright of courses and units; and
• quotas on courses and units.

The Committee received feedback regarding suggested changes to improve the layout of the spreadsheet.

Professor Evans acknowledged and thanked faculties for their cooperation and Ms Shona Le Grand for her input in preparing the matrices and preliminary findings in the exercise.

Secretary’s note: The Policy Bank Policies and Procedures will be amended as follows: the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor is the title responsible for the areas of the Academic portfolio and replaces the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) where appropriate.

Action: The Education Committee received and noted the university academic policy compliance summary findings, as provided by faculties.

The Education Committee received and noted the feedback provided by faculties regarding the academic policies that are due for review by the Academic Board by the end of 2005.

Action/Information: Chair, Professor M Evans, Ms S Le Grand

*8. DEFERRED AND SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION TIMING RMO1998/0487

The Education Committee received a submission from concerned members from the Faculty of Law regarding the timing of deferred and supplementary examinations. The submission raised the issue regarding flexibility in the timing of supplementary and special examinations in first semester units, in accordance with the Examination regulations.

Members noted that changes to the Examinations Procedures had been approved at Meeting 1/05. The Committee endorsed the conduct of supplementary and deferred exams for first semester units in August (formerly in January), noting that only one deferred and supplementary examination period was conducted each year. Noting the discussion included special examinations, it was agreed to add reference to "Special Examinations" in the Examinations Procedures.

The Chair invited the representatives from the Faculty of Law to present the issues debated at the Faculty. Associate Professor Susan Kneebone, attending as the alternate faculty member, and Dr Pam O’Connor, an invited speaker from the Faculty of Law, spoke to this item. Dr O’Connor spoke to the submission that the flexibility as to the timing of the exams allowed during the ‘period of grace’ for 2005 be retained from 2006, so that faculty boards can continue to set their own rules about the timing of supplementary and special examinations in first semester units, and that Examinations Branch continue to invigilate the exams in January if the faculties request it.

The Committee noted the issues of impact on staff workload and equity to students, as presented by Dr O’Connor on behalf of 28 signatories from the faculty, and noted the Faculty Executive’s position of following the University’s policy on the timing of the supplementary and special examinations.

The Chair advised that the Faculty would need to clarify its position on the procedure and referred the matter to the Dean of Law for attention.

Action: The Education Committee noted the submission from concerned members from the Faculty of Law regarding deferred and supplementary examination timing.

Action/Information: Associate Professor S Kneebone, Dr P O’Connor, Ms J Beaton

*9. VET PROVISION AT MONASH RMO2005/1473

Documentation was circulated. Professor Merran Evans, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Planning), spoke to this item. The Committee noted the list of VET programs being offered by Monash. The Committee further noted the advice of Professor Evans that the programs were distinguished from Monash offerings and should not be endorsed as an official Monash course. Faculties were advised to report of any further VET programs to the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Planning).

Action: The Education Committee noted the information regarding Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs being offered by parts of Monash or associated Registered Training Organisation providers.

Action/Information: Ms N Mitchell

*10. UNIT EVALUATION SYSTEM ISSUES RMO2005/1475

Documentation was circulated. Professor Graham Webb, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Quality) introduced the system issues associated with the unit evaluation survey in its first cycle of implementation. Mr Ian Hall, Project and Planning Consultant, ITS, was invited to speak to this item. The Committee was requested to consider two recommendations in relation to two Callista-related items.

The Committee noted a recommendation that a system that calculated enrolment counts at the unit level should be adopted for consistency and quality assurance purposes than the current system that provided a calculation of enrolment counts based on unit offering options.

In relation to the second issue regarding a mechanism to identify undergraduate or postgraduate units, the Committee supported the recommendation that there was a need to accurately identify units at either postgraduate or undergraduate level for reporting. The Committee noted that this item was considered by CADeT in 2000 as part of a wider issue of unit nomenclature. The Committee agreed there was a need to retain the distinction between graduate and postgraduate in reporting. Noting there was a working group established to look at the wider issue of units, unit reporting and system compliance, the Committee agreed to refer the issue to the working group convened by Mr Gerard Toohey, Student Administration, to identify possible solutions to this issue.

Action: The Education Committee referred this matter to the working group established under the Academic Programs Steering Committee to review and analyse user and business requirements and report back.

That the Unit Evaluation system is modified so that it calculates enrolment counts at the unit level, not via the total number of potential respondents. Faculties therefore need to be aware that:

a) if they elect to survey only part of a unit, either via surveying not all offerings or not all streams, that the response rate is derived from total enrolments for the unit rather than potential respondents.

b) b)this will result in lower response rates as calculations are based on total enrolments whether or not all offerings and streams are surveyed,

c) fluctuations in enrolment counts will, however, be minimised.

That the university recognise the need to accurately identify units as either Postgraduate or Undergraduate for the purposes of reporting.

Action/Information: Mr G Toohey, Ms K Martin.

*11. 2005 UNIVERSITY-WIDE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS REPORT RMO2005/1474

• external input or validation into grading/assessment standards.

The spread of average marks and grade distributions from 2000 to 2004 was also compiled in the report, and presented by course level, course, faculty and marks.

The Committee provided comments to the report, and members noted the following areas for further focus, including:

• development of a university-wide policy on grade distributions / moderation / external input;
• greater emphasis and awareness of moderation, monitoring grading distributions over time and external input;
• linking grading data to ENTER scores;
• the need for common entry and exit standards;
• cross campus consistency; and

*17.1 Annual Report of the Exclusion Procedures Subcommittee RMO2005/0084

Documentation was tabled and is attached to the minutes. Associate Professor Marg Lindorff, Chair, Exclusion Procedures Subcommittee, spoke to this item. Associate Professor Lindorff thanked the members of the Subcommittee, working groups and acknowledged the contribution of Ms Shana Chong, executive officer.

The recent outcomes of the subcommittee and biannual exclusion forum were noted, including:

• consideration of summer semester results, in exceptional circumstances, in the determination of the Faculty Academic Progress Committee (APC);
• guidelines for faculties in appointing APC chairs; and
• size of APC committees.

Associate Professor Lindorff informed the Committee of a number of issues that had emerged from the recent Biannual Exclusion Forum regarding the following:

• fees charged by student organisations for participation on university committees;
• a need for increased support and exit strategy for excluded students;
• training and support for APC members, in consultation with Community Services; and
• procedures for faculties regarding students identified for exclusion but had not paid fees.

The Committee was advised that the Commonwealth legislation regarding voluntary unionism was not likely to be passed and, therefore, the student organisations would change their position and waive the proposed fees for representation on university committees.

Documentation outlining the outcomes of two working groups was tabled at the meeting. With regard to the issue of students identified for exclusion but had not paid fees, the Committee endorsed the recommendation, that after 1 February (in any year), the Faculty will not accept applications unless the student can demonstrate exceptional circumstances related to the non-payment of fees.

The recommendations regarding provision of support services to excluded students involved in Academic Progress Committee hearings and processes were noted.

The Education Committee

• received the 2005 report of the Exclusion Procedures Subcommittee;
• endorsed the recommendations of the report; and
