Computer literacy
The faculty is committed to develop a level of computer literacy in its
graduates. It has recently undertaken to ensure that skills training is built
into the curriculum of all first-year subjects. Prior to 1996, the faculty
required each student to demonstrate or achieve a degree of computer literacy.
The objective of this is to ensure that arts graduates are equipped with skills
essential for both their continued academic work, and for their ready
acceptance into the job market. The requirement is explicit recognition of the
role that computers have increasingly come to play in intellectual work in
recent years.
The requirement can be met in either of two ways: (i) by demonstrating
competence in a short test; (ii) by successfully completing the course on
introductory computing offered by the faculty.
This requirement applies to all arts undergraduate students whose first year of
enrolment in the faculty was between 1992 and 1995, including double degree
students. In 1995, students entering the Bachelor of Music program and the
Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Commerce double degree were also be expected to
fulfil the requirement.
The requirement must be met in either of the ways listed above by the end of
the student's second year.
