DETAILS OF STUDIES - GIPPSLAND CAMPUS

Semesters

Teaching is conducted over two semesters each year. At the end of each semester a formal examination is conducted and students receive final results for all subjects undertaken in the preceding semester. Attention should be paid to the semester in which a subject is offered when planning enrolment.

Attendance and written work

Students are reminded that they must attend prescribed classes and submit written work as specified for each subject studied. Students who fail to do so, or whose work is otherwise unsatisfactory, may not be given credit for the relevant subject.

Subject guides

Details of assignments and due dates, along with other relevant information, will be provided in the subject guide. Ignorance of this information is not considered an excuse.

Availability of subjects in 1996

Owing to budgetary restrictions not all subjects will be offered every year.

Complementary studies and cross-institutional enrolment

A student enrolled for a course in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences may apply to take a subject which is not available at Gippsland through another campus or university. Students seeking such an arrangement must contact the course adviser, providing full details of the proposed studies. Subject to the school's approval, any studies undertaken on this basis may then be credited towards the Monash degree.

Text lists

Preliminary reading

Students are advised to read these books and articles prior to attending their first lecture.

Prescribed textbooks

These books form the major part of the course and students are advised to purchase their own copy. Limited numbers are available in the library.

Reference books

Detailed reading guides will be made available either in the subject guide or at the first lecture. In some instances, alternative arrangements for the issuing of reading guides are indicated in the departmental chapters which follow. Students should check with the bookshop prior to purchasing texts to obtain up-to-date information. In addition to the texts listed here, reading lists appear in subject guides to direct students to other appropriate sources.

Non-award studies

Applications for non-award enrolment must be made on the appropriate admission form available on request from the student administration office. Successful applicants will not occupy a government funded course place. Applications may be made up until the commencement of the academic year (although early applications are less likely to be affected by subject subquotas).

Non-award admission does not guarantee subsequent enrolment in an award course. The option is mainly exercised by applicants who wish to take advanced studies for the purpose of upgrading their existing qualifications for recognition by a professional body. In some cases, however, students may wish to apply to undertake a subject which is surplus to the requirements of the course in which they are already enrolled.

Students should note that there is no guarantee that studies done on a non-award basis will later be credited to a course of study.

Cheating

Students should note that cheating at the university is regarded as a very serious offence, likely to lead not only to an annulment in the subject concerned but also to additional penalties including exclusion. Students should carefully note that the taking of any unauthorised material into examinations such as notes, unauthorised dictionaries and so on will be regarded as cheating. Students should also note that essays, assignments and other work are generally understood to be the student's own work, and where any such work is identical to or similar to another student's work, an assumption of cheating may arise. Where students wish to undertake work in conjunction with other students, it is suggested that the matter be discussed with the lecturer concerned.

Health science subjects

In addition to those included in this chapter, the following subjects are also taught by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, but are only available to students enrolled in courses offered by the School of Health Sciences. These subjects do not count towards any humanities and social sciences courses. The outlines for these subjects appear in the Nursing handbook.
