INTRODUCTION

This paper is circulated with the aim of assisting students in their

selection of Third Year Courses. It includes the presently available

data on Lecture Courses and Laboratories for 1978, and cow.plements

earlier papers on Second Year Main Studies.

If yo1.. find, after reading this document, that you require further

information, it is suggested that you see either of the Third Year

Coordinators, Dr. H.P.W. Gottlieb or Professor C.J. Masters (the

latter will be replaced in 1978 by Dr. W.K. Busfielct), who may be

able to assist you with any planning difficulties.

2. MAIN STUDIES PROGF?ANNE

As you will already know, the Main Studies Programme involves 16

Semester Units of work, and a student normally does 8 of these units

in each of the 2nd and 3rd years. with as even a spread as possible

throughout the year (i.e. 2 units per half-semester if possible).

1 successfully completed full Semester Unit of work gains 1 Credit

Point. 16 Credit Points are required for completion of Main Studies.

Since the compulsory Third Year Project plus Litera.ture of Science

course ranks as ·i~ Szi;r:2ster Uni ts~ this normally 1 eaves a total of 6!2

Semester Units to be chcsen by individua1 studentst equivalent to 6\;

full Theory courses plus appropriate Laboratories (see later).

Recal 1 that the 2nd Year course 11 Natural Resources" (0. 5 Credit

Points} was also compulsory. In addition, your Degree programme must

include at least 0.4 Credit Points of 11Mathematics 11, which may be

Mathematics II A or B, Mathematics III A or B, Numerical Analysis

(when available) or Statistics and Experimental Design.

It is also necessary to keep in mind that a necessary requirement

for obtaining a Griffith Science Degree is the completion of a

Concentration Area. This consists of 6 full Theory Courses (or their

equivalent including half courses) chosen from that Concentration Area,

plus, consequently, 3 Laboratory Units (see Section on Laboratories)

which must include the "Compulsory Laboratories" defining the

Concentration Area.

Students must select the equivalent of at least 2 full Theory Courses

within their chosen Concentration Area from the Third Year list.

The attached large Table lists the Lecture courses which t he School

will present in 1978, and t he Concentration Areas 1n which the courses

lie) as we11 as Pri or and Concur rent Assumed CoursRs. (!:or an explanat'ion

Some Second Year courses will be offered for the first time ir.

1978: Microbiology in First Semester and the Genetics/Microbiology

Laboratory in Second Semester. These will be timetabied for avail-

ability to Third Year students, in 1978 only.

3. THEORY COURSES AND LABORATORIES

Also included in the attached information is a table which l ists

the Laboratories to be mounted in 1978.

One Laboratory-Unit(= 0. 4 Credit Point~ is usua i ly the equivalent

to 2 afternoons a week for a half-semester, i.e. 7 weeks. A half-unit

of Laboratory (i.e. 0.2 Credit Points) is the equivalent of 4 weeks'

work.

Where a Laboratory is longer than~ Lab-Unit, it may be possible

to do prescribed half-Lab-Unit segments, as indicated in the Table.

Most Lecture courses have Laboratory requirements associated

with them, to the extent of \ Laboratory Unit for each full Theory

Course. These Lecture courses are either full Theory Courses (0.8

Credit Points ) or half-Theory Courses (0. 4 Credit Points). (Thus

the ratio is 4:1, Theory:Lab Credit Points.)

Some Lecture Courses iiave, instead, Ess21ys, and Tutorials or

substantial Problem Classes associated with them, rather than Lab-

oratories; these are known as Schedule T Theory Courses and are

either full Schedule T Theory Courses (1.0 Credit Points) or half-

Schedule T Theory Courses (0.5 Credit Points).

Science Policy (~)

The total M~in Studies Labora t ory r equi rement in Laboratory Units is then

[7 - ~ x {total of Schedule T Theory Courses included in Degree)],

to be rounded .!:!.E_ to the nearest ~-integer.

Not more than 5 Laboratory Units i.e. 2 Credit Points may be from the 2nd Year Lab Course iist, and at least 1 Laboi~atoi"y Unit {i.e. 0.4 Credit Points) must be from the 3rd Year Laboratory course list.

From your 2nd Year results and planned 3rd Year, you should now be

ab1e to calculate how many 3rd Year Laboratory Units you need to take

to complete your Degree.

4. TI METABLES

Scherr:atic block-timetables are attached. It may not be possible to

cater for every possi b1e choi ce of courses on this basis, but an effort

has been made to t1met able for most reasonable combinations.

5. SECOND YEAR LECTUF.ES

It may be possible for 3rd Year students to take up some existing 2nd

Year subjectsduring their 3rd Year. (The total number of Credit Points

Page 6: (SC/606/76 272 Revi () SCHOOL OF SCIENCE · griffith university school of science main studies: third year, 1978 sc/826/77 ms(y3) 348 (sc/606/76 272 revi () october, 1977 ..

- 6 -

from the 2nd Year list of Main Studies included in the Degree may not

exceed 10. Also, a student is not pennitted to attempt more than 10

Semester Units in any one Year, nor more than 5 S.U. in any one

Semester.)

Apart from the new courses mentioned in Section 2, other Second

Year Courses may unavoidably clash with 3rd Year Courses. Tables

giving the latest details of Second Year Courses have been attached

to this paper. Questions concerning them should be directed to the

2nd Year Coordinators, Ors. P.S. Turner and J.I. Samisoni, who have

prepared a "Blue Paper" for Second Year students. (Or. A.J. O'Connor

will replace Dr. P.S. Turner in 1978. )

6. CONCEDED PASSES

Under University regulations, a student may include up to 2

Credit Points at the Conceded Pass level in his degree requirements.

In the School of Science, this may include not more than 0.8 Credit

Points of Laboratories.

'1. HONOURS

Students intending to proceed tc Honours in their 4th Year should

nonnally take the equiva1er.t of three full Theory Courses within the

chosen Concentration Area from the 3rd Year list.

8. COURSES FROM OTHER SCHOOLS

Some courses given by other Griffith Schools have been classified

as School (of Science) Courses and are "essential interchange courses 11

Page 7: (SC/606/76 272 Revi () SCHOOL OF SCIENCE · griffith university school of science main studies: third year, 1978 sc/826/77 ms(y3) 348 (sc/606/76 272 revi () october, 1977 ..

which will be timetab1ed for availability to 3rd Year students. The

Science Third Year List Courses are as follows, for 1978:

School Seraester 1 School Semester 2

None None

Some other courses have been "Approved" to count tm·1ards the

Sctence degree, but may only be available on a restricted basis and

subject to timetabling difficulties. They are, for the Third Year

List, for 1978 (each 1.0 S.U.):

School Semester 1 School Serrester 2

AES Population AES Aquatic Dynamics (£1323)* Ecosystems(El321)*

AES Chemical Ecology of Pollution(El326 ( )

MAS Science, Culture & Society (Al232}

* Pre-requisite - £1226:) E1220 (see Appendix.2nd Year).

For the 11 Approved11 c1ass of courses, in any one year, you may

take no more than 3 Semester Uni ts, and no more than 4 SU in tota 1

during Main Studies .

Since courses in other Schools are exactly 1 Semester Unit of

work load, and may incorporate practicals, etc.~ such courses will

be added to the 'Schedule T Courses' to reduce the required number

of Science Laboratory units according to the formula of Section 3.

Students should contact other Schools for the most recent Course

descriptions and prerequisites.

9. JOINT MT GRAVATT - GRIFFITH COURSE

Students in the joint Griffith Degree/Mt Gravatt Diploma Course will

do 14 Main Studies Griffith Semester Units, normally proceeding as follows

1f they have completed 8 Second Year Griffith Units;

3rd Year, First Semester 3 Griffith Units+ 1 Mt Gravatt Unit ( to be given at Griffith).

3rd Year, Second Semester Mt Gravatt.

4th Year, First Semester Mt Gravatt.

4th Year, Second Semester 3 Griffith Units+ 1 Mt Gravatt Unit (to be given at Griffith).

It may be possible for some joint course students to do the

Literature of Science plus Project, which is not compulsory for these

students.

The Laboratory requirement for joint course students has the same

formula as for ordinary Griffith Students, but will be rounded down to

the nearest \-integer.

Furthermore, to the list of •schedule T Theory Courses' for joint

course students are added:

Project plus Literature of Science (1~)

Mathematical Topics(~) (Maths Teachers) (2nd Year List).

Further details of requirements for teaching certain subjects,

etc.) may be obtained from Dr. D.E. Clegg, of the Mt Gravatt/Griffith

Coordinating Corrmittee. You should first refer to Appendix C.

APPENDIX B - SECOND YEAR COURSE DETAILS, 1978.

The fol-lowing pages summarize relevant material from the revised Second Year "Blue Paper" for 1978. They are included here to show you what has been decided for second year in 1978, in case you wan t to include some Second Year Subjects duri ng your 3rd year . The changes against 1977 are itemi zed, and are foll o~ied by Tables of the Second Year (1978) Courses available, Timetables, Assumed Courses and Defini ng Courses for Concentration Areas.

Introduction Some changes have been proposed in the courses to be offered to students entering Main Studies in Science in 1978, both in schedul i ng of courses and in deta i ls of content. This paper out l ines t he major changes proposed.

New Courses In 1978, Semester 1, the Ful l Theory Course Mi crobiology (0.8 S.U.) wil l be offered for t he f i rst t ime , as will be the Laboratory Unit Microbiology/Genetics (0.4 S.U.} in Semester 2.

Major Changes: Timetabl es.

The Full Theory Courses STMI S and KMR have been moved into Second Semester.

Half-Units will be stretched across a Semester, as ind icated. Some courses wi 11 be "wedge-shaped" as shown.

Second Year "Assumed" Courses

In general, all courses assumeonly knowledge gained in the Foundation Year courses unless otherwise stipulated.

Courses which are stated as Prior Assumed Course or Concurrent Assumed Course of a particular course are not compulsory, but the teaching team will assume that students have taken - or are currently taking - the requfsite course. (Specifically, this means that it is not necessary to pass a particular course in order to maintain enrolment in a related subsequent course.)

The current statement of Assumed Courses for second year courses in 1978 is listed in the Table below.
