Hi Christine

Have amended the resolutions for BIT/BCom to include note re. exemption

If MATH1005 is compulsory for the BEng(Hons) then Idon't think we need to explicitly stateexemptionin the resolutions for the combined degree. If this is likely to change for 201 8 then we can revisit

Hi Kate

This works okay for BE as they all must do MATHS 005 and another 9cp of first year Math units

It's a bit trickier for combined BIT - they have to do 12 cp of Math units, and MATH1005 isrecommended, but it's theoretically possible for them to do an alternative Math unit to meet their BITMath requirement. We currently have a note in CUSP that states "Combined degree students takingMATHS 005 as part of the Bachelor of Information Technology are exempted from core commerce unitBUSS1020. Students taking another second semester MATH unit in place of MATH1005 must alsotake BUSSI 020 in order to satisfy Bachelor Commerce requirements.'

Possible suggestion

Minor Course Amendment Proposal Version 03. 09. 2012

(5) For the Bachelor of Commerce a candidate must complete 96 credit points selected fromTables A and B of the University of Sydney Business School including:(a) a major.(b) 36 30 credit points of core units of study (24 junior credit points, and six senior credit points,and a six credit point capstone). A candidate who undertakes equivalent junior Mathematics unitsas part of the Bachelor of Information Technology degree will be exempted from core unitBUSSI 020.

If we did that for BIT, it might also be worth explicitly stating the Math/BUSSI 020 exemption for BEalso

It's UP to you FELT degree requirements are met either way

Just wanted to clarify something quickly before taking this to FELT Courses SC

as of 2017 the list of core units willbe:* BUSSI 000 Future of Business

BUSS1020 Quantitative Business AnalysisBUSS1030 Accounting. Business and SocietyBUSS1040 Economics for Business Decision MakingBUSS2000 Leading and Influencing in Business

This comprises the 24 junior and 6 senior(BUSS2000?) in the resolutions.

thatMy understanding is

Combined BE and IT students don't take BUSSI 020 - they have to take standard MATH insteadShould the resolutions incorporate this? (They didn't before, so maybe it's not an issue)

Paper title Bachelor of Psychology Course Resolution Amendment


To amend the course resolutions for the Bachelor of Psychology to incorporate new unit of study PSYC2X10, intended to replace PSYC2X11 as a compulsory intermediate unit of study from 2017. PSYC2X10 will include the subject Abnormal Psychology, and as such, students will not have to complete PSYC3018 due to their having fulfilled the Abnormal Psychology requirement in PSYC2X10. It is therefore proposed that PSYC3018 no longer be a compulsory unit of study, unless a student has already completed PSYC2X11.

Paper title Bachelor of Science, Psychology Major


To amend the degree table for the Bachelor of Science, Psychology Major toincorporate new unit of study PSYC2X10, intended to replace PSYC2X11 as a compulsory intermediate unit of study from 2017. PSYC2X10 will include the subject Abnormal Psychology, and as such, students will not have to complete PSYC3018 due to their having fulfilled the Abnormal Psychology requirement in PSYC2X10. It is therefore proposed that PSYC3018 no longer be a compulsory unit of study, unless a student has already completed PSYC2X11.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Undergraduate Studies Committee recommend Academic Board approve:1) the proposal from the Faculty of Science to amend the Bachelor of Science;

2) the amendment of the table of Units of Study arising from the proposal, with effect from Semester 1,2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of the proposal is to amend the degree table for the Bachelor of Science, Psychology major, to incorporate new unit of study PSYC2X10. This is intended to replace PSYC2X11 as a compulsory intermediate unit of study from 2017. PSYC2X10 will include the subject Abnormal Psychology, and as such, students will not have to complete PSYC3018 due to their having fulfilled the Abnormal Psychology requirement in PSYC2X10. It is therefore proposed that PSYC3018 no longer be a compulsory unit of study, unless a student has already completed PSYC2X11.

CONSULTATION

This proposal was approved by the Division of Natural Sciences Undergraduate Studies Committee on the 7th of April 2016, and by the Science Faculty Board on the 19th of April 2016.

Bachelor of Science, Psychology Major

2. Purpose of proposal

The purpose of the proposal is to amend the degree table for the Psychology major offered in the Bachelor of Science.

Currently, the requirements for the Psychology major are that all students must study all four PSYC intermediate subjects (PSYC2X11, PSYC2012, PSYC2013 and PSYC2014), and at least 24 credit points of Senior year PSYC subjects. One of these senior year subjects must be PSYC3018 Abnormal Psychology.

For entry to the Honours program, students must also select PSYC3010 Advanced Statistics for Psychology. These requirements have been set in order to have the Major and the Honours program pass accreditation for the Australian Psychological Society. For this, it is compulsory for students to complete coursework across a range of core subject topics. All the other core topic material is taught in Junior and Intermediate subjects. However, Abnormal Psychology is only taught in in the Junior (PSYC1002) and Senior (PSYC3018) levels and is not included in the Intermediate subjects. Having PSYC3018 as a required subject for the Psychology Major and for students intending to apply for the Honours program drastically limits the options of students in choosing Senior year subjects – of the 24 credit points of subjects they need to take for a major, ¼ of those are mandated; of the 24 credits points of subjects needed to be eligible to apply for Honours, ½ of these are mandated.

Therefore, the aim of the change to this course is to modify the existing courses PSYC2011 Brain and Behaviour and PSYC2911 Brain and Behaviour (Advanced) to include Abnormal Psychology, so that this core topic can be taught to all Psychology major subjects at the Intermediate level. Accordingly, the requirement that all Psychology Major students must study PSYC3018 can be deleted, allowing our students to have greater flexibility in choosing their Senior year courses.

To ensure that all students who are completing the Psychology Major comply with APS requirements to have studied Abnormal Psychology at the intermediate OR senior level, we propose to introduce new course codes for the modified PSYC2X11 + abnormal course. This new course will be PSYC2010 Brain and Behaviour and PSYC2910 Brain and Behaviour (Advanced). The new course codes will allow a transition path for students who have studied PSYC2X11. To complete a major in Psychology, students must complete either PSYC2010 or PSYC2910 or PSYC3018. In this way, legacy students who studied PSYC2011 or PSYC2911 in intermediate years can still complete the major if they study PSYC3018. To be eligible for Honours, students must complete PSYC3010 AND (PSYC2010 OR PSYC2910 OR PSYC3018).


In the unit table for the Psychology major, PSYC2011 and PSYC2911 will be deleted, and PSYC2010 and PSYC2910 will be added.

Please see Appendix 1 below.


This amendment takes effect from 2017 onwards.

TABLE 1: PSYCHOLOGY

Table 1 lists units of study available to students in the Bachelor of Science and combined degrees. The

units are available to students enrolled in other degrees in accordance with their degree resolutions.



Session

Psychology For a major in Psychology, the minimum requirement is 48 credit points across Intermediate and Senior Psychology* units of study, including (PSYC2010/2910 or PSYC2011/2911), PSYC2012, PSYC2013 and PSYC2014. No other Intermediate Psychology units can be counted towards a major. Students must complete at least 24 credit points of Senior Psychology units for a major (or 30 credit points of Senior Psychology units for students in the BPsych degree). PSYC3018 must be included for students who have not completed PSYC2010/2910 at the intermediate level. Students who wish to be eligible for entry into the Honours program must also include PSYC3010.

*Note: HPSC3023 Psychology & Psychiatry: History & Phil is available as a Senior Psychology unit and will counttowards a major in Psychology. Successful completion of this unit of study is essential for students intending to take the Theoretical Thesis option in Psychology Honours.

Paper title Bachelor of Veterinary Science/Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Minor Course Amendment


It is proposed to amend the progression rules for entry into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine through the Bachelor of Veterinary Biology to be inclusive of successful completion of Years 1 and Years 2 of the combined degree. Existing progression rules only state the requirement for a Year 1 and Year 2 WAM threshold of 65 to be met to enable eligibility for progression into Year 3 (DVM Year 1). The Faculty wishes to tighten the policy for eligibility into Year 3 (DVM Year 1) by excluding any student who at the end of Year 2 still have outstanding units or are required to repeat failed unit(s) in order to successfully complete Year 2 of the BVB degree. The Faculty also proposes to reduce the WAM requirement of 75, to 65 or greater, for automatic progression from Year 2 to Year 3 (DVM Year 1). Changes to first year biology units are also required as a result of new units being introduced in 2017.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Undergraduate Studies Committee recommend that the Academic Board approve the amendment to the course resolutions and degree table for the Bachelor of Veterinary Science/Doctor of Veterinary Medicine for 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It is proposed to amend the progression rules for entry into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine through the Bachelor of Veterinary Biology to be inclusive of successful completion of Years 1 and Years 2 of the combined degree. Existing progression rules only state the requirement for a Year 1 and Year 2 WAM threshold of 65 to be met to enable eligibility for progression into Year 3 (DVM Year 1). The Faculty wishes to tighten the policy for eligibility into Year 3 (DVM Year 1) by excluding any student who at the end of Year 2 still have outstanding units or are required to repeat failed unit(s) in order to successfully complete Year 2 of the BVB degree.

Additionally, issues have arisen with regards to student progression with students focussing primarily on their WAM instead of learning outcomes. There was also a significant administrative burden in managing students achieving a WAM between 65 and 75. The Faculty wish to change current progression policy by reducing the WAM requirement of 75 to 65 or greater for automatic progression from Year 2 to Year 3 (DVM Year 1). We wish this to be enforced for all students wishing to enter Year 3 of this combined degree in 2017. These changes do not impose any additional requirements on students.

The Faculty also wishes to amend the degree table for the Bachelor of Veterinary Biology to account for changes to first-year Biology units, resulting from the Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences curriculum review.

CONSULTATION This proposal was approved by the Division of Natural Sciences Undergraduate Studies Committee on the 23rd of June2016, and by the Science Faculty Board on the 2nd of August 2016.

IMPLEMENTATION The updated course resolutions will be implemented in the 2017 Science Undergraduate Handbook.

2. Purpose of proposalTo advise the Undergraduate Studies Committee of the changes required to BSc/MND degree resolutions and degree table in order to bring them in line with approved 2018 prerequisites for the MND.

3. Details of amendmentBachelor of Science / Master of Nutrition and Dietetics

Requirements for award - Subclause 2(b): (iv) at least one major from Science subject areas of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, Physiology or Psychology as described in Table 1.; and (v) 6 credit points of Intermediate or Senior level Nutrition Science as specified in Table 1G; and (vi) 6 credit points of Intermediate or Senior level Food Science as specified in Table 1G.

Subclause 12: (1) These resolutions apply to persons who commenced their candidature after 1 January, 20176 and persons who commenced their candidature prior to 1 January, 20176 who elect to proceed under these resolutions. (2) Candidates who commenced prior to 1 January, 20176 may complete the requirements in accordance with the resolutions in force at the time of their commencement, provided that requirements are completed by 1 January, 20210 or later date as the Faculty may, in special circumstances, approve.

Please see attached document for full marked-up resolutions and table 1G with changes (addition of Food Science units of study).

4. Transitional arrangementsStudents who enrolled in the BScMND in 2015 or 2016 will be advised to select NUTM3001 and one Food Science unit (AGEN2002 or AGEN3004). This will ensure that they have met all the pre-requisites for the MND component starting in 2018. Our staff in Nutrition and Dietetics are in regular contact with all current BScMND students (from years 1-5) and will be able to advice all students needing to undertake these additional pre-requisites. NUTM and AGEN UOS coordinators are aware of these transitional arrangements and can accommodate all BScMND students (letter attached). Students will be advised to ask for special permission through Sydney Student to undertake a Food Science unit of study. The UOS coordinator will grant permission for these requests.

We understand the Faculty of Health Science intends to offer no new intake into the BAppScMND from 2018 (with an intention to close this degree). In the meantime, students will fulfil their Nutrition Science pre-requisite by undertaking EXSS2021 which is already part of the degree. Food Science (AGEN unit of study) will be able to be accommodated in the BAppScMND for students in the 2016-2017 cohorts. However, Food Science (AGEN unit of study) is not able to be accommodated in the BAppScMND for the 2015 cohort. We will make special arrangements for these students (6-8 students depending on final WAM) in the postgraduate MND program to teach additional food science so that these students will not be disadvantaged.

Paper title BSC Table 1 Majors: Changes to Year 1 Biology Units


It is proposed to amend the unit tables for those Table 1 majors offered within the Bachelor of Science affected by the change in Year 1 Biology units to be introduced from 2017 onwards. These unit changes are a result of the LEES Curriculum Review conducted between 2015 and 2016.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Undergraduate Studies Committee recommend Academic Board approve:1) the proposal from the Faculty of Science to amend the Bachelor of Science; and2) the amendment of the table of Units of Study arising from the proposal, with effect from Semester 1, 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It is proposed to amend the unit tables for those Table 1 majors offered within the Bachelor of Science affected by the change in Year 1 Biology units to be introduced from 2017 onwards. These unit changes are a result of the LEES Curriculum Review conducted between 2015 and 2016. The new Junior Biology units, BIOL1006/1906/1996 Life and Evolution, and BIOL1007/1907/1997, From Molecules to Ecosystems, were developed as a degree core to Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences (LEES) degrees, and for the purpose of providing a broad introduction to the Biology Discipline which will also allow students flexibility when choosing majors.

CONSULTATION


IMPLEMENTATION

The updated unit tables for the affected Table 1 majors will be implemented in the 2017 Science Undergraduate Handbook.

Reviewer/Approver

Paper title FASS - Summary of changes to 2017 undergraduate Unit of Study Tables

Purpose To inform the Undergraduate Studies Committee of changes to the 2017 unit of study tables.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Undergraduate Studies Committee recommend that Academic Board approve: 1. the amendment of the table of Units of Study arising from the proposal, with effect from 1 January

2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is reporting on minor changes to a number of undergraduate Unit of Study Tables that will appear in the 2017 Handbook.

The changes reflect the addition of new units to existing majors or minor changes to existing elective choices. These are largely as a result in changes to unit availability.

There is no substantive change to the learning outcomes or graduate attributes of any award course or major.

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Summary of changes to 2017 undergraduate Unit of Study Tables

Prepared by Kristian Adamson, Manager Curriculum Support and Scholarships, 7 October 2016

The following new units of study have been added to relevant majors in the 2017 unit of study tables.

These units have been approved through the formal Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences governance processes at departmental, School and Faculty Committee levels. Each new unit is required to submit a rationale explaining the purpose of the unit in the broader curriculum of the major. They are also considered alongside the 2014 Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Sustainable Curriculum project to ensure they fit into the agreed three year plan.

A small number of changes to the unit of study tables exist where units have been rested or retired. The Faculty confirms these minor changes to unit availability do not impact on the learning outcomes of the relevant majors.

These changes do not impact on the outcomes of award courses offered by the Faculty.
