PART 1 – ITEM(S) FOR COMMUNICATION TO BE DEALT WITH EN BLOC 2. REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION OF THE BOARDS OF STUDIES – Ref

F12202 Members are advised that a review of the Board of Studies’ performance in 2013 was conducted in December 2013 by the Institutional Research Unit (IRU) in accordance with the Principles for the Operation of Committees. A copy of the review report and the relevant minute extract is attached from the following Boards of Studies for the Board’s noting: • Board of Studies for Bachelor of Arts (Att A1) • Board of Studies for Bachelor of Commerce (Att A9) • Board of Studies for Bachelor of Science (Att A15) • Board of Studies for Bachelor of Philosophy (Hons) (Att A20)

PART 2 – ITEM(S) FOR DECISION TO BE DEALT WITH EN BLOC 3. CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT – ANNUAL (PLANNED) CHANGE PROCESS TO MAJORS

FOR 2015 The University’s change process for Cycle I undergraduate curriculum has been designed to accommodate both annual (planned) and late change requests which normally arise from enrolment issues or other unforeseen circumstances. The latter, if assessed to have no impact on the structure of a major, are administered via the fast-track process and approved by the Chair by way of delegated authority from the relevant Board of Studies. Planned annual changes to undergraduate curriculum may occur at the unit level and/or major level and/or honours level and will need to take place, where relevant, in line with the University Policy on Changes to Units , University Policy on Changes to Approved Majors and Changes to Approved Honours specialisation. To this end, the Board is asked to consider proposed changes, as recommended by the relevant Board of Studies, to the following majors: TRIM BA -

PART 3 – ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND DECISION

5. AMENDMENT TO UNIVERSITY POLICY ON SUBSTITUTION OF UNITS IN

POSTGRADUATE COURSES THAT DO NOT FORM PART OF NEW COURSES FRAMEWORK (UP12/5) – REF F40613

By way of background, the Board of Coursework Studies at its meeting of November 2011 reviewed the principle of substituting units within coursework courses and agreed that “the substitution of units not be permitted in a new undergraduate degree course or postgraduate degree course that forms part of the new courses framework. However, it was noted that the existing rules for postgraduate courses forming part of the new framework might incorporate the use of substitute units and that the relevant rules be reviewed and amended accordingly by 2013”. At its meeting of November 2011, Academic Council by R228/11 resolved to approve, among other recommendations, that faculties be requested to review the rules for postgraduate courses forming part of the new courses framework with a view to removing provision for substitution of units by 2013. However, faculties be permitted to approve substitution of units in postgraduate degree courses that will not form part of the new courses framework, (namely those being taught out) to the extent previously permitted by University General Rule 1.2.1.14A: A faculty may permit or require a student to substitute for units up to a maximum value of 12 points in a course another unit or other units of equivalent value.” Notwithstanding R228/11, a few faculties have requested that the substitution of units in cycle 2 coursework courses be permitted under exceptional circumstances and be dealt with on a case by case basis, particularly since the University Policy on Volume of Learning and Structures for Postgraduate Coursework Courses, approved in 2013, allows for a student to seek entry with different levels of prior learning. Attached (Attachment D) for the Board’s consideration is an amendment to UP12/5 to reflect the above. The attachment includes both a tracked-changed version and a final version for easy reading. For discussion and recommendation to the Academic Council for approval.

Members noted that the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts), as a standing committee of the Board of Coursework Studies, is subject to annual review by its members. Members had before them the review report from 2013, comprised by the Institutional Research Unit and it was noted that overall the board had performed well but that we would continue to look for ways of improving efficiency and effectiveness. RESOLVED 3/14 that the 2013 Survey Report for the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts) would be forwarded to the Board of Coursework Studies for its information.

Boards of Studies Performance Evaluation 2013

Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts)

Introduction In November 2013, members of Boards of Studies were asked to evaluate their board’s performance during the past year. This report presents the results of the survey of the 10 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts).

Summary Responses to the online survey were received from 6 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts), a response rate of 60% (c.f. 55% for all boards of studies combined). Given the small number of respondents, caution is recommended when interpreting these results. In this survey, the structured items requested a response on a 4-point scale. The percentage of responses in the top two categories of the scale is a simple measure of performance (the higher this percentage the better). Overall, members rated the performance of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts) positively: across all 29 structured items, 151 of 170 responses received were in the top two categories, i.e., 88% of responses were in the top two categories (c.f. 95% for all boards of studies combined). For an individual item, where there are less than 70% of responses in the top two categories it suggests a need for improvement on that item. In this survey of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts), there were 3 such items.

(Q8c) How effectively have you been able to use your - Experience?

(Q9) How confident are you that you can obtain any information or advice you need about the Board of Studies and related activities from the Chair of the Board of Studies?

(Q12b) The working relationships between members of the Board of Studies

Detailed results, including respondents’ comments, are presented below. A copy of the survey form is attached.

Additional Comments

Comments are reported verbatim below.

Q2. The induction you received when you joined the Board of Studies was useful.

I don't recall having an induction

I am a 'foundation member' of the board and as such worked with others to design and refine the processes that all boards now use

Q5. The Board of Studies has performed appropriately in considering undergraduate course proposals submitted through the correct process during 2013.

its inefficient. much time is spent on correcting details of proposals and repeat submissions in which such details have been corrected. few decisions are actually made, more corrections that could more efficiently be handled by normal administrative procedures. members of the board are taken up with enquiries that have little to do with their role in ensuring that the basic criteria of majors have been met, and judgements and questions that have little to do with this role

Q7. The Board of Studies has performed appropriately in providing curriculum development advice to faculties during 2013.

curriculum advice is muddled and not on point. my professional staff can't even get best practice examples of major proposals when such examples are clearly needed to navigate the complexity of forms required by the board. clearly, such examples would be helpful, and are in any case government property and not the property of the proposer, whom my staff have been directed to. advice from the board has often been impenetrable because the board is not on task, and taken up with bureaucratic minuate, rather than addressing the simple reasoning behind new courses and how to make a major work and not work. the procedure should be simple, and staff time both academic and professional not taken up with internal processes that are not made easier by the board's idiotic attention to detail rather than principle--help not hinder please

Q8. In your role as a member of the Board of Studies, how effectively have you been able to use your skills, abilities and experience.

my time has been wasted by numerous submissions to the board

Board of Studies agenda and minutes (section)

Since I am a part-time staff member, I often work from home. When I try to access BA BOS minutes, agendas or other material from home, I am told that I am not able to access them on my home server. This means that I am only able to access these documents when I am at the University, which means that I may have restricted time to read them. It would be much better if I could also access them at home, at a time when it is convenient to me.

Conduct during the Board of Studies meetings (section)

chair is a professional, excellent in his abilities and clearly brilliant in his grasp of university policy, as is the secretary. but the timing of decisions in a meeting can be weighted in the chair's own opinion--the strategy here is to talk until the meeting comes around to another opinion, usually because most discussion is vague and not on point, which is the fault as much of committee members as it is the chairs, who are thinking academically about majors and their details ("It would be good to have more information on ..." is one example of a comment that can turn a decision into a deferral). again, the chair and secretary have excellent capacity but their time is being wasted as much as anyone elses

Other comments (section)

1. allow members direct input into agenda, so that members speak to their agenda items rather than the chair. at present, meeting culture requires members (with the exception of [name given] who does not do this) to declare a conflict of interest on their own matters, which slows the whole process down as small matters cannot be clarified in meeting 2. if the item is refused the chair should meet personally with the proposer to explain the changes that are required of them, as proposals are going back and forth too many times, too many details taking up too much staff time

3. MODUS OPERANDI FOR THE BOARD OF STUDIES (BACHELOR OF COMMERCE)

– REF F50125 In accordance with the Committee’s practice, the Chair briefly outlined the role of the Committee and the expectations of its members, which are guided by the following University policies and practices: • Principles for the Operation of Committees • Rules for the Operation of Committees • University Committee Members’ Code of Conduct • The Effective Committee Member It was noted that an “Information Package: A Handbook for Members of the Board of Studies” had been made available on the web for reference by all members. The package was primarily for the information of new members but would also serve as a reminder to all members of the Committee as to the protocols for best practice in committees and details the above policies and practices. Members noted that the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce), as a standing committee of the Board of Coursework Studies, is subject to annual review by its members. Members had before them the review report from 2013, comprised by the Institutional Research Unit and it was noted that meetings were conducted in a satisfactory way and no issues were raised. Overall the board had performed well in 2013. A general discussion followed regarding the role of the Board into the future. The Chair provided an overview of course and unit enrolments for the Bachelor of Commerce and informed members of a recent review by the accreditation body European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). The EQUIS report is due to be received at the end of June but early feedback provided by EQUIS was very positive and positioned UWA Business School well across Australia. Further, it was noted that the Board would likely have a future role to play in the following: • Review of the Bachelor of Commerce: The Dean of Coursework Studies asserted that the University

would be commencing a review of its Cycle 1 courses from mid-2014 and the Board would need to be involved in the review process.

• Establishment of Prizes: it was noted that the Board might have a role to play in the establishment of prizes at the degree course level in the future.

RESOLVED 3/14 that the 2013 Survey Report for the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce) and the minuted discussion be forwarded to the Board of Coursework Studies for its information.

Boards of Studies Performance Evaluation 2013

Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce)

Introduction In December November 2013, members of Boards of Studies were asked to evaluate their board’s performance during the past year. This report presents the results of the survey of the 9 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce). Given the small number of respondents, caution is recommended when interpreting these results.

Summary Responses to the online survey were received from 6 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce), a response rate of 66% (c.f. 55% for all boards of studies combined). In this survey, the structured items requested a response on a 4-point scale. The percentage of responses in the top two categories of the scale is a simple measure of performance (the higher this percentage the better). Overall, members rated the performance of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce) positively: across all 29 structured items, 161 of 173 responses received were in the top two categories, i.e., 93% of responses were in the top two categories (c.f. 95% for all boards of studies combined). For an individual item, where there are less than 70% of responses in the top two categories it suggests a need for improvement on that item. In this survey of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Commerce). There were no such items. Detailed results, including respondents’ comments, are presented below. A copy of the survey form is attached.

Boards of Studies Performance Evaluation 2013

Board of Studies (Bachelor of Science)

Introduction In November 2013, members of Boards of Studies were asked to evaluate their board’s performance during the past year. This report presents the results of the survey of the 9 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Science).

Summary Responses to the online survey were received from 5 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Science), a response rate of 55% (c.f. 55% for all boards of studies combined). Given the small number of respondents, caution is recommended when interpreting these results. In this survey, the structured items requested a response on a 4-point scale. The percentage of responses in the top two categories of the scale is a simple measure of performance (the higher this percentage the better). Overall, members rated the performance of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Science) very positively: across all 29 structured items, 139 of 143 responses received were in the top two categories, i.e., 97% of responses were in the top two categories (c.f. 95% for all boards of studies combined). For an individual item, where there are less than 70% of responses in the top two categories it suggests a need for improvement on that item. In this survey of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Science), there was 1 such item.

Q2. The induction you received when you joined the Board of Studies was useful (n = 1)

From time to time membership of the BOS may change (e.g. member resigns) and new replacement members introduced at short notice. Induction for these new members is important, but may not always occur.

Performance of the Board of Studies (section, n = 1)

The BOS I have worked on have been particularly well-led and respectful of all view. The administrative support has been excellent.

BACHELOR OF PHILOSOPHY (HONOURS) HELD ON FRIDAY 21 MARCH 2014 IN THE SENATE ROOM

2. MODUS OPERANDI FOR THE BOARD OF STUDIES (BACHELOR OF PHILOSOPHY

(HONOURS)) – Ref F50134 Members were reminded that the role of the Committee and the expectations of its members were guided by the following University policies and practices: • Principles for the Operation of Committees • Rules for the Operation of Committees • University Committee Members’ Code of Conduct • The Effective Committee Member The Board was informed that the “Information Package: A Handbook for Members of the Board of Studies” had been circulated to new members and was available for reference by all members. It was noted that while the package was primarily for the information of new members, it should also serve as a reminder to all members of the protocols for best practice in committees. It was noted that the Board of Studies for the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours), as a standing committee of the Board of Coursework Studies, was subject to annual review by its members. The review report from 2013, compiled by the Institutional Research Unit, had been attached to the agenda. Members were reminded that, in addition to responding to this survey at the end of each year, they were encouraged to raise during the year any issues associated with the Committee’s activities and processes that might improve its efficiency and effectiveness. Within the context of the Committee’s modus operandi and its self-review, the Chair invited comments on the outcomes of the review report. A member questioned the need to conduct an annual survey relating to the performance evaluation of the committee. It was suggested that it might be more efficient for a member to raise any matters of concern direct with the Chair. While the performance evaluation exercise was regarded as a good safety mechanism, it was suggested that the frequency of conducting this survey might be considered so that it is does not occur annually. RESOLVED – 2/14 that the Boards of Studies Performance Evaluation 2013 for the Board of Studies for the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) be referred to the Board of Coursework Studies for its noting.

Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy)

Introduction In November 2013, members of Boards of Studies were asked to evaluate their board’s performance during the past year. This report presents the results of the survey of the 12 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy).

Summary Responses to the online survey were received from 6 members of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy), a response rate of 50% (c.f. 55% for all boards of studies combined). Given the small number of respondents, caution is recommended when interpreting these results. In this survey, the structured items requested a response on a 4-point scale. The percentage of responses in the top two categories of the scale is a simple measure of performance (the higher this percentage the better). Overall, members rated the performance of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy) very positively: across all 28 structured items, 161 of 165 responses received were in the top two categories, i.e., 98% of responses were in the top two categories (c.f. 95% for all boards of studies combined). For an individual item, where there are less than 70% of responses in the top two categories it suggests a need for improvement on that item. In this survey of the Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy), there was 1 such item.

Board of Studies (Bachelor of Philosophy)

Additional Comments

Q2. The induction you received when you joined the Board of Studies was useful (n = 2):

I joined before it became a Board of Studies and we didn't have an induction

There wasn't any induction that I recall

Q3. The Chair and Executive Officer provided you with clear and sufficient information about your role and

responsibilities (n = 2):

Don't think this question is applicable as I wasn't a new member last year

Perhaps previous experience on similar Boards was assumed

Q9. Board of Studies agenda and minutes (n = 1):

It was not always the case that discussions were confined to matters raised in the agenda; some discussions went beyond the "any other items" category in scope.

Q11. Key relationships (n = 1):

Earlier in the year there continued to be issues of conflict between a few of the members who were unwilling to compromise; these clashes appear to have disappeared at this point

Q13. Other Comments (n = 1):

I don't believe that this survey is necessary - it's simply taking up time and resources and enabling someone to tick a box about compliance/feedback. If I had concerns with the Board's performance I would feel able to raise it with the Chair or the Exec Officer.

ID Field Change Rationale and impact assessment

42231 Structure 2+2+4 2+3+3

The anthropology major is structured around a combination of core units fixed by the Discipline Group, andoptional units chosen by students from a range of possibilities. The core units ensure that students maintain abalanced training in anthropology throughout the 3 years, with required units including units in both theory andmethods. Broadly speaking, the proposed changes put the emphasis on 2nd year units as being the level atwhich students develop knowledge of key concepts and theories, and 3rd year units as the level at which theydevelop specialist skills in methods. The rationale for offering this as a 2-3-3 structure is that this structure willprovide a balance in the major that allows students to equally develop specialist skills in both theory andmethod. In terms of making the Discipline offerings as useful as possible to non-majoring students, the rationalefor this division at 2nd and 3rd year level is that students who are not majoring in anthropology are more likelyto want to complement their major studies with particular areas of anthropological analysis and theory than withspecialization in methods, while it is those majoring in anthropology who are most likely to need to developspecialist skills in methods, which will mainly be offered in the third year. Impact on learning outcomes Webelieve that the impact on learning outcomes for the major will be enhanced by the proposed change, withstudents emerging from the major with a clear balance in theory and method. This puts students in the bestpossible position from which to consider further study or to prepare for employment.

42233 Unitsequence

Comparesequences

TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS: The change we are proposing in Anthropology is from 2+2+4 to 2+3+3. Firstyear units are not affected. The only students who may be affected are third year students who have completedthe requisite two units under the former structure and may next year be enrolling in four third year units underthe former structure. If we can simply accept their second 2nd year and four 3rd year units as equivalent to 3+3in the new structure, then we will only have one year of students to accommodate in this way. Any student whois disadvantaged we will deal with on a case by case basis to ensure their completion of degree is not delayeddue to this change.

Introducedunits:+ ENGL2401Meaning andthe MovingImage[Active]+ HIST2001Restaging thePast: Cinemaand thePractice ofHistory[Active]

ENGL2401 examines film as a medium for coming to terms with the horrors of war and the nuclear age and theaesthetic challenges that posed. European directors studied include Resnais, Fellini, von Trotta and Benigni. Itwill follow on very well from EURO1101, in which most of the tutorial texts are films. Like HIST3009, which hasbeen part of the EURO major since 2013, HIST2001 addresses representations of Europe and European history.The vast majority of films studied in this unit are European films and all of the topics covered are Europeantopics. The major sequence consists of 1 core unit and 1 option unit at Level 1, 2 core units and 1 option unit atLevel 2, and 2 core units and 1 option unit at Level 3. The core units are EURO-coded units while the optionunits are selected from relevant ENGL- or HIST-coded units. The Level 1 core unit ‘Europe Now: Cultures andIdentities’ answers the question: What is contemporary Europe? It introduces students to the identity andstructures of contemporary Europe and to the methodologies of textual and socio-historical analysis, andestablishes informational and communicative foundations for study in the humanities. In the Level 2 core units‘European Civilisation’ and ‘European Utopias, Imagination and Modernity’ we discover the formative ideas forthe development of contemporary Europe and the European Union. These units develop the analysis of thecore structures of European identity in terms of European self-understanding over different historical periods,and build on research, critical, analytical and communication skills established in Level 1. The Level 3 units‘The European Individual’ and ‘European Nations and Ethnicities’ deepen the concepts of Europeancivilisational, cultural, social and individual identity through focus on specific aspects of modern Europeandevelopment. Level 3 units introduce more advanced theoretical and methodological frameworks, adopt amore interactive teaching style and encourage a more independent learning process with a greater focus onskill-specific research. The Level 1, 2 and 3 option units in either History or English have been chosen inconsultation with the relevant discipline groups. These units complement the core units by focusing on andfurther developing historical or literary methods of analysis.

Proposed changes for Major as at 30-06-2014

Changes proposed for MJD-HYART History of ArtTRIM: F29647

ID: 1131

Faculty approval details for these changes: 6/14 (http://www.alva.uwa.edu.au/staff/meetings)There is a long history to the proposal to include VISA2276 Art of Printmaking in the History of Art major. I refer you back to a 2012 meeting of theBoS(Arts):http://www.teachingandlearning.uwa.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/2350005/080512_BoS-BA_Minutes_plus_attachments_for_printing.pdf In2013, the Discipline forgot to re-submit this unit for inclusion in the major, hence the long delay in responding to feedback from BoS(Arts). All of theother changes submitted here are dealt with in the above-mentioned agenda of April 2014Date of faculty approval: 09/04/2014

ID Field Change Rationale and impact assessment

33015 Unit sequence Compare sequences

Introduced units:+ VISA2276 The Art ofPrintmaking: a culturalhistory [Proposed]+ VISA3361 The DutchGolden Age and the Art ofExploration [Proposed]

These two additions are both option units, and as such there is no impact on studentsalready undertaking the major, they will simply have another unit to choose from next year.The rationale for this change is that Art History is anticipating some academic staff changesin 2015, and in the case of VISA2276 it was always the intention to include the unit in themajor

To: Board of Studies (Bachelor of Arts) From: The School of Indigenous Studies, Associate Dean, Director of Teaching & Learning Transitional Plan for students enrolled in Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage (MJD-INKHH) Major for 2015

30th April, 2014

Background A review of the School’s Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage Major commenced in late 2013 with workshops undertaken with teaching and teaching support staff from SIS. Having successfully run the Major for two years it was felt timely to review the performance of the program and recommend where possible pedagogically-based measures to improve its content and delivery as one of Australia’s eminent undergraduate and inter-disciplinary Indigenous studies learning programs.

The re-design of the Major has maintained the existing 2+3+3 model of core unit delivery over three years and three levels. As Indigenous knowledge is an interdisciplinary field a 2+3+3 model allows students to take an extra unit at second year increasing their breadth of knowledge of the field, now including the successful ‘on-country’ unit undertaken in Albany. Third year is maintained to specialize with three units involving substantial research components. Third year units will employ a more self-directed learning focus and a mix of intensive and longer duration course work. There is a greater focus on connecting students with a broader global community on Indigenous Knowledge and research.

In summary, this Major review was based on both informal and formal peer review teaching, SURF and SPOT unit evaluations, including wider campus discussions with other faculties identifying, supporting and or developing ‘Indigenous embedded’ units available to this Major program. Impacts on existing Major students’ progression through the Major program were minimised.

The proposed changes were sequentially presented, assessed and endorsed by the School’s Teaching and Learning Committee in August and September in 2013, and finally on April 10th 2014. The SIS Executive approved these final changes on the 17th April, 2014 in time for approval by the University.

Proposed changes using CAIDi have now been submitted to the University, along with the need for this Student Transition Plan report. This report has been reviewed in detail by Academic Policy Services to ensure its accuracy and attention to unit changes and to the satisfactory progress of students through the Major.

Refer to below Tables that capture the changes to study plans for students from 2014 to 2015+.

Proposed Changes & Student Transition Plan

The significant changes to the Major, from a student transition view, exist in the relocation of the Level 1 unit INDG1140 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin to Level 2, and replacing it with INDG1160 Boodjar Moort Katitjin. The unit content and Level 1 learning outcomes of the Major are enhanced with this change, introducing the broad based associations and relationships focused on the Noongar Theoretical Trilogy of Boodjar (Country), Moort (Family and Kin) and Katitjin (Knowledge) offered in the unit INDG1160.

Moving INDG1140 Knowing Country to Level 2 (as INDG2700) provides for improved Level 2 learning outcomes where a deeper level of experiential, and in-service learning of Indigenous knowledge ‘on-country’ is now made possible. The unit has the support of co-unit coordinators, teachers and researchers at UWA's Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management (CENRM) in Albany.

The proposed changes to the unit sequence of the major in Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage will only impact on students who have successfully completed INDG1140 Knowing Country: The Dreaming and Darwin prior to 2015 and are needing to progress to Level 2 studies in 2015 and beyond.

A review of current 2014 enrolments in the Major indicates that these changes only impact on seven (7) students. It is estimated that these numbers will slightly increase as Level 1 students confirm their Majors later this year, but the minimal impacts will be managed accordingly, as follows:

• Students who have completed INDG1140 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin in 2014:

o will not be able to take INDG2700 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin as the latter will be made incompatible with INDG1140 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin;

B19

! 2!

o will be advised to enrol in INDG2500: Looking North: The Wild West which will be offered as an Optionwithin the Major.

• The unit sequence of the Major will be configured for 2015 as follows for students who commenced the Major in2014 and for students commencing in 2015 (includes transitional arrangements):

Level 1 Level 1 Core INDG1150 Aboriginal Encounters: Strangers in Our Backyard

INDG1160 Boodjar Moort Katitjin: Introduction to Indigenous Heritage and Knowledge

Level 2 Level 2 Core INDG2300 Indigenous Knowledge: Mind, Body & Spirit

Level 2 Option (Group A) – Take one option

INDG2700 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin (Incompatible with INDG1150) INDG2500 Looking North: The Wild West

Level 2 Option (Group B) – Take one option

VISA2051 Curatorial Practices INDG2600 Indigenous Representation

Level 3 Level 3 Core INDG3300 Indigenous Research

Level 3 Options – Take twooptions

HIST3014 Intimate Strangers INDG3800 Indigenous Ways of Knowing INDG3600 Indigenous Design Studio INDG3700 Sharing Space INDG3400 Indigenous People & Global Issues INDG3800 Indigenous Ways of Knowing

• The unit sequence of the Major will be configured as follows for 2016:

Level 1 Level 1 Core INDG1150 Aboriginal Encounters: Strangers in Our Backyard

INDG1160 Boodjar Moort Katitjin: Introduction to Indigenous Heritage and Knowledge

Level 2 Level 2 Core INDG2300 Indigenous Knowledge: Mind, Body & Spirit

INDG2700 Knowing Country: The Dreaming & Darwin (Incompatible with INDG1150)

Level 2 Option – Take oneoption

VISA2051 Curatorial Practices INDG2600 Indigenous Representation INDG2500 Looking North: The Wild West

Level 3 Level 3 Core INDG3300 Indigenous Research

Level 3 Options – Take twooptions

HIST3014 Intimate Strangers INDG3800 Indigenous Ways of Knowing INDG3600 Indigenous Design Studio INDG3700 Sharing Space INDG3400 Indigenous People & Global Issues INDG3800 Indigenous Ways of Knowing

The unit content and learning outcomes of the existing INDG2500 unit will suitably satisfy the Level 2 needs of the program, and its replacement of 2014 unit INDG2400 Looking South.

There are no other teaching and learning related impacts on these 2014, 2015, 2016 and beyond transitional students.

Removed units:- MEMS2002 World Views:Religion, Gender and Societyin Pre-modern Europe[rescission proposed for 2015]- MEMS3001 Language andPower: Latin in Medieval andEarly Modern Europe

The previous regulations for majors required a minimum of 5 core units. Under the newregulations, which permit a minimum of 4 core units, we have opted for a major structurewhich will include 50% core units and 50% elective units at each year level. We believe thiswill be a more efficient use of staff and student time and existing educational resources,without damaging the outcomes of the major. To achieve this, we propose to delete MEMS2002 World Views, and MEMS 3001 Language and Power. The change will allow students toinclude more of the relevant elective units available in the Faculty at Level 3. This changealso makes room for the introduction of a new foundation unit, MEMS 1001: Life, Thought andCulture in Pre-modern Europe. We believe this will provide students with a better groundingin the discipline's core concepts and skills, and so strengthen our ability to help them achievethe existing outcomes. The outcomes have been reviewed and revised to some extent inorder to reflect the new structure.

The unit MUSC2530 Music in World Cultures has been changed from a core unit to an optional unit to a)better reflect teaching expertise within the school and to b) allow the addition of the unit MUSC2355Chamber Music, which it is felt is an equally important unit to the Music Studies Major, and is seen as akey unit to the professional outcomes for students. This makes explicit activity that many studentspresently undertake without university credit. MUSC3543 Advanced Ensemble has been moved to MusicStudies from Specialist Music Studies as again, this is seen as a key as an important area of student forthose taking a single major in music studies. Recent staffing changes mean that many of the level 3 optionunits cannot be offered on such a regular basis.

The unit MUSC3543 Advanced Ensemble has been moved to the Music Studies major where is was thoughtthe unit better sits (the Music Studies Major being required in order to enrol in Special Music Studies).MUSC3541 Practical Music 5 has been changed from an option to a core unit. The original justification for theunit being an option was to allow students who did not wish to/were not of the required standard toundertake a public recital alternative options at level 3. Since the recital does not fall in MUSC3541 but inMUSC3542 this point is moot and it is felt that students undertaking the second major in Specialist MusicStudies were likely to require the knowledge gained through MUSC3541 even if they did not plan to continueto a full public recital in MUSC3542. MUSC2550 Music & Science has been removed (and rescinded as a unit)as it was not felt this unit fitted with the objectives of the course and was not of benefit to students. The unithas received universally low SURF scores, and has proved to be ill-conceived. This will be replaced with MusicLanguage 4 a unit which it is felt with benefit students in the Specialist Music Studies major as this will giventhem comprehensive training in aural, harmony, form and structure which as essential skill for anymusician/music researcher/teacher.

Comparesequences

Introduced units:+ ARCT2050EnvrionmentalDesign [Proposed]

Removed units:- ARCT2001DesignCommunication

these changes are proposed in response to recommendations from a School review in 2012, the the fullreport of which is available as an attachment in the faculty minutes referenced above. The unitEnvironmental Design will effectively replace the unit IDES3050 Environmental Control Systems, and isbeing switched from the Integrated Design major to the Architecture major as a core unit. Its focus onarchitectural technology is more relevant to students following the architectural pathway. Its positioning inthe integrated design major was clearly an anomaly. The reason for shifting from level 3 to 2 is that thecontent should be introduced earlier to students who are following the architecture pathway, and thetechnical architectural content should be framed within a broader global and environmental context. Interms of impact on academic progression, the ALVA student office will advise students who commenceLevel 3 in the Architecture+Integrated Design majors in 2015 to undertake Environmental Design in placeof Environmental Control Systems. There are sufficient other level 3 units in this course plan to satisfy thedegree rules. Design Communication has been moved from the Architecture major to the IntegratedDesign major, as it has a more general design focus and will form an important component of the ID majorwhen taken on its own (ie without the architecture). Since architecture students will still have to take theIntegrated design major (and therefore its core unit Design Communication), there is no impact onprogression for this cohort.

Changes proposed for MJD-IDSGN Integrated DesignTRIM: F29698

ID: 1208

Faculty approval details for these changes: 13/2014 of the April 1 circular (http://www.alva.uwa.edu.au/staff/meetings)The need to further develop the Integrated Design major arose from recommendations included in the review of ALVA undertaken in July/August2012. In response, on 11 March 2013 the Dean appointed Associate Professor Patric de Villiers to undertake the task of scoping up the IntegratedDesign major, consulting with appropriate internal and external parties and individuals, conducting workshops with ALVA staff and preparing a reportfor consideration by ALVA. The report was tabled on 15 December 2013. Essentially the proposals for Integrated Design are framed within the liberalarts context of UWA and seek to build on the existing strengths of both ALVA and the broader university partners with whom ALVA shares logicalsynergies. The report contained the following recommendations: Recommendation 1 That the further development of the Integrated Design Major isbased on the following principles: 1. A design studio will be provided in each of the three years of study; 2. In broad terms the studio program willaddress Basic Design in the first year, Making in the second year and Systems Design in the third year; 3. The studio programme will be supported byfour closely integrated technical support units: Techniques of Visualisation in the first year, Design Communication and Future Making in the secondyear and Advanced Design Thinking in the Third year; and 4. A range of optional units will be provided within the three identified themes of urbandesign, visual art and landscape for students taking Integrated Design as a degree-specific major. Recommendation 2 That one of the recentlyappointed ALVA staff members be tasked with responsibility for, and the further development of, the Integrated Design Major. Recommendation 3That in the ongoing development of the Integrated Design Major: 1.Efforts are made to broaden the input and contribution from relevant UWA schoolsand faculties. 2. Consideration is given to the establishment of a Reference Group comprising appropriate University and broader industryrepresentation. Recommendation 4 That the proposals for making the Architecture Major more flexible and those set out in the current proposals forthe Integrated Design Major noted above are introduced in 2015. Recommendation 5 Maintain the Landscape Architecture major in order to satisfycurrent Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) accreditation requirements. That further consideration is given to making LandscapeArchitecture units available to students taking Integrated Design as a degree-specific major within the option themes proposed for this major.Recommendation 6 An initial urban design unit is developed to be offered as an option unit within the Integrated Design Major. That approval issought for this unit to be a Broadening unit available to students from Arts, Commerce and Science. In the ongoing development of the IntegratedDesign Major and, subject to feasibility, the introduction of additional urban design units should be considered. The feedback received from Board ofStudies (Design) was again considered at a Faculty meeting on 22 May, 2014. At this meeting, a decision was taken to revise the proposal and re-submit, with only VISA1001 as a complementary unit for the major.

62469 Structure 2+2+4 2+3+3 The inclusion of Design Communication at Level 2 was a recommendationof the School Review, as it was identified as an integral supporting unit forsingle major students in preparing them sufficiently for the capstone 12point Level 3 studio. The change from 2+2+4 also allows for the desiredsequence of a studio unit coupled with supporting units at each level of themajor.

Transition Plan - Integrated Design and Architecture 2015 changes

General communication strategy

The ALVA Student Office will alert enrolled and inactive students to changes via emails, in-person

advising, and an info session towards end of 2014 (prior to re-enrolments opening). New enrolment

guides will be published (see p2-3)

1. IDES3050 Environmental Architecture removed and replaced with ARCT2050

Environmental Design

Since this L2 unit is replacing a level 3 unit, in 2015 the enrolment numbers will be doubled, with

both 2nd and 3rd year students needing to enrol in the unit. This will be factored into staffing

arrangements and timetabling. Communication will be provided from the Faculty Student Office to

all students enrolled in BDes (Architecture / Integrated Design), making sure all are aware of the

changes.

MJD-IDSGN students will no longer need to complete IDES3050 if they haven’t already. In its place,

they will be advised to enrol in IDES2001 Design Communication

MJD-ARCTR students will need to complete ARCT2050 in its place. Because they all have a second

major, they will meet the “24 points at level 3 requirement”.

2. IDES3001 Integrated Design Studio 3 removed and replaced with IDES3010 Advanced

Design Thinking

This will be a straight-forward switch for any student in MJD-IDSGN and MJD-ARCTR who hasn’t

already completed IDES3001

3. Integrated Design Complementary units

The previous four complementary units have been removed, VISA1001 Art, Technology and Society

has been added as the sole comp unit. Students in the major who commenced in 2014 or earlier will

have already done VISA1001 as a core unit. Any additional complementary units will not be required

effective Semester 1, 2015.

4. IDES1000 Studio Fundamentals

Any student who fails ARCT1000 in Semester 2 will be contacted and informed that the unit code has

changed to IDES1000 from 2015

5. IDES2001 Design Communication

This unit is now core in the Integrated Design major.

MJD-ARCTR students will have already done it as core unit in their Architecture major, so it’s a

straight-forward transition for them.

B38

MJD-IDSGN students who commenced in 2013 and have only completed two L2 units in the major

will need to take IDES2001 in place of IDES3001 which has been removed. Both units are offered in

Semester 2, so we do not anticipate this being an issue for the vast majority of students. However, in

the unlikely case that a student is unable to complete IDES2001, the Faculty would consider creation

of a special unit at Level 2 to accommodate the student(s) completing the major.

B39

INTEGRATED DESIGN ENROLMENT PLAN

The Integrated Design major can be completed as degree-specific major within the Bachelor of Design, or as a second major in any degree. Complementary units are not required if taken as a

second major.

Design Electives: In addition to the core units outlined for this major, students undertaking

Integrated Design as a degree-specific major are strongly encouraged to enhance their knowledge

and expertise by taking units in the areas of Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Fine Arts. For

those students not already taking a second major, a number of highly desirable design electives have

been identified. Further advice can be sought from the ALVA Faculty Student Office.

Students must complete four broadening units (units outside of Design). At least one of these must be from Category A. Lists of broadening units are available in the Handbooks. More information on units, majors and enrolment pathways can be found at www.handbooks.uwa.edu.au.

This information is correct as of November 2014

ANHB wish to trial some changes to the ANHB major for 2015. We do not anticipate that the proposedstreamlined structure will have any effect on the outcomes of the ANHB major, as there are still a broadrange of units to provide for study across the discipline. We have proposed: • Suppression of ANHB2213 •Suppression of ANHB3323 • Considerable restructure of ANHB3324 We are responding to issues createdby 1) the increase in student numbers taking the ANHB major, 2) the structure of the Biomedical Sciencesdouble major 3) staff issues 4) the high cost of human cadaveric material (ANHB2213 and the previouscontent in ANHB3324) The rationale for changes to the structure and style of ANHB3324 is in response toNC12. This unit is taken by students in both the ANHB major and the Biomedical Science double major.The very different background of the two groups of students has forced a change in the prerequisites,content, outcomes and assessments to account for their different preparation. Added complementary unitMATH1720 to ensure that students in the Bachelor of Science degree meet the minimum requirement formathematics for the degree. Students who have taken WACE Mathematics 2C/2D or higher are notrequired to take MATH1720.

Academic information

Content This unit will study the genetic basis of polygenic or complex traits and disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseaseand neurological disorders with an emphasis on the current strategies that can be employed to map disease loci. A majorfocus will be the use of next-generation sequencing and quantitative transcript data using integrative or genetical genomicapproaches. A further emphasis will be the development of molecular prioritisation strategies leading to the identification offunctional genetic variation that is causal for a particular disease phenotype. Routes to translation of functional geneticinformation into clinical practice will be explored. Lecture topics will include family studies of complex disease, associationstudies and linkage disequilibrium, limitations of genome-wide association studies, pathway analysis using genetic tools,and genome-wide views of disease.

At the completion of the unit students will be able to understand current strategies for the application of next-generationsequencing studies in complex disease research and to analyse and interpret results for understanding genetic influences incomplex disease. They also will have an appreciation of the possible impact of complex disease genetics on the practice ofmedicine.

Outcomes Students are able to (1) understand current strategies for the application of next-generation sequencing studies in complexdisease research; (2) understand and develop strategies to study a particular complex phenotype; (3) analyse and interpretresults for understanding genetic influences in complex disease; and (4) have a practical knowledge of the technology usedto generate genetic data and an appreciation of the appropriate statistical analyses to extract data.

Proposed Service Learning

Description of service learningcomponent

PUBH2211 meets the requirements for service learning as described below.(1) Community engagement: The PUBH2211 unit involves the students traveling to Karnataka, India where theywill undertake field work with the non-government organisation, Grama Vikas. There is some pre-trippreparation, but the community engagement forms a majority of this unit and this is reflected in the learningoutcomes and assessment.Grama Vikas is a non-government development organisation that works with poor and marginalised ruralfamilies in the Kolar District, Chickmagalur district and Raichur district of southern Indian State of Karnataka.The students will work on a health issue that is a priority for Grama Vikas. On previous trips the students haveundertaken an evaluation of the health impact in villages that results from the work of Accredited Social HealthActivists (ASHA) workers.The students will engage with Grama Vikas; community based ASHA workers; Grameena Mahila Okkuta (GMO)from the Rural Women’s Federation; Primary Health Centres; a district and a private hospital, a medical college,Gram Panchayats (local government staff); Social Activist Government Officer; Livelihood and EconomicEnhancement of the Poor program coordinators; community nurses and Auxiliary Nurse Midwives; andenvironmental health officers.The students will prepare a report for Grama Vikas describing their investigations and outlining a strategy thatwill assist Grama Vikas in addressing this health issue. The project is modified each year the unit is run,depending upon the needs of Grama Vikas.(2) Collaborative partnership that is beneficial: A focus of the design of this unit has been the need to providesomething tangible back to Grama Vikas and the villages that we will interact with, rather than simply being animportant experience for our students. We have developed the program in collaboration with Grama Vikas aswell as Biome Environmental Trust, Bangalore. The unit has been developed through identifying specificoutcomes of practical relevance for Grama Vikas and designing fieldwork by which student can produce theseoutcomes. In 2013, for example, the students prepared an evaluation report and a strategic plan for further rollout of the ASHA program. Students will be required to plan, implement and write up the evaluation of ASHAprogram as well as suggest evidence-based recommendations for addressing barriers to the success of theASHA program.(3) Real-world service experience with guided curriculum-embedded reflection The pre-trip seminars willsupport the students in developing their skills in reflection and cross-cultural understanding. During thefieldwork tutorials, the students will be encouraged to reflect upon their experience and its relevance to themboth personally and professionally. We will also discuss the relevance of their experiences to other lessdeveloped countries and also to Australia and how their experience in India will influence their practice inAustralia.(4) Combines academic rigour with practical relevance: Students will prepare an evaluation report and a plan ofaction for addressing the health issue of focus. The students will be required to plan, implement and write uptheir field observations and data collection as well as present evidence-based recommendations for addressingthe issue. The students will need to draw upon information literacy, qualitative and quantitative research skills,critical analyses, team work, communication, in particular cross-cultural communication in order to produce areport that combines academic rigour with practical relevance to Grama Vikas. This work will be evaluatedthrough an oral presentation to Grama Vikas and other community members and as well as written report.

Quota

Quota number 30

How quota isallocated

(1) Students who are enrolled the population health major and who have completed 48 points, including PUBH1101 andPUBH1102. Among population health students selection will be based upon academic merit (WAM) plus a personalstatement on how the unit’s learning outcomes meet their personal and professional goals. (2) Non-population health majorstudents who have completed 48 points of their degree. Selection will be based upon academic merit (WAM) plus a personalstatement on how the unit’s learning outcomes meet their personal and professional goals.

Reason for quota Fieldwork is less effective if the numbers are too large. Our preference is for 20 students but School of Population Healthand Grama Vikas can accommodate up to 30 students. If the numbers go over 30, we would need a third member of staff.

Proposed Service Learning

Description of service learningcomponent

Practicum placements with non-government not-for–profit agencies will be included as well as placements withgovernment agencies and the private health sector. Hence service learning will only apply to placements withnon-government not-for–profit agencies. These agencies include those that support specific conditions, such asthe Parkinson’s Western Australia, or an organisation that works with vulnerable or marginalised communities,such as the Association for Services to Torture and Trauma Survivors (ASeTTS) or WA Aids Council. A focus ofthe design of this unit has been the need to provide something tangible back to Agencies we will interact with,rather than simply being an important experience for our students. The projects are proposed by the agencyand will have specific outcomes of practical relevance to that agency and its stakeholders. These may beprojects that the agency has wanted to do but not had the resources to undertake in the past.SPH/UWA will support the students undertaking the project and the agency through the provision of advice/workshops/ library services / review of draft materials.The unit will integrate students’ participation in a real-world service experience with guided curriculum-embedded reflection on that experience. The students will be encouraged to reflect upon their experience andits relevance to improving health and well-being in community. We will also ask them to reflect upon: the rolesof the agency and similar agencies take in social responsibility and justice and how their experience willinfluence their future professional practice.Through the unit HSMD3316 Health Industry Practicum, which was a core unit in the Pre-2012 Bachelor ofHealth Science we have developed strong positive relationships with a range of health related agencies.Feedback from agencies certainly suggests that the practicum is positive experience and that UWA’s reputationas good citizen is enhanced. We would expect this to continue via this proposed practicum as it is acollaborative partnership between the University and an external organisation to ensure that the servicecomponent is beneficial to both the recipient (community members) and the provider (students individually oras a group).

Additionalinformation

Feedback from students and employers suggests there is considerable support for a practicum unit. Within the BHlthScstudents frequently indicated that they selected the Health Science degree because it had a practicum unit.We surveyed the practicum supervisors who hosted BHlthSc students over the last two years and there is overall support fora 12 pt practicum rather than 24 pt practicum. Many stated they were so impressed by the students and the support fromSPH, that they are keen to continue to take students.
