The range of subjects and the available range of major and minor sequences are different on each campus. All subjects offered on the Caulfield, Clayton and Peninsula campuses are detailed below. Subjects offered on the Gippsland campus are detailed in the Gippsland section of this handbook.
The following statements apply to all entries in this section of the handbook.
Teaching is normally conducted over two semesters each year, the first running from March to June and the second from July to October. At the end of each semester a formal examination is conducted and students receive final results for all subjects undertaken in the preceding semester. Most subjects taught by the Faculty of Arts are one semester long, and a full-time student normally enrols in subjects to the value of twenty-four points in each semester. Attention should be paid to the semester in which each subject is offered when planning enrolment. A few departments may choose to offer subjects for the degree during the summer semester (December to February) and students should contact individual departments for details.
Students wishing to undertake studies via distance education are directed to the Gippsland section of this handbook.
Students are reminded that under Regulation 3, `Completion of a subject', they must submit written work and attend tutorials, seminars, laboratory work, and so on, as required by the department or centre. Students who fail to do so, or whose work is otherwise unsatisfactory, may not be given credit for the relevant subject.
Departmental notice boards are used to notify departmental information, eg dates for submitting essays. Such information will also be announced in lectures but the only form of written notice will be that on the boards. Ignorance of the information will not be considered a sufficient excuse if the notice has been displayed on the board for two weeks.
Where arrangements for assessment have not been finalised, they will be decided and announced within the first four weeks of teaching.
Lecture timetables are normally available each December for the coming year's teaching, and will be provided to all current students at re-enrolment. Each new student will be sent a copy of the timetable at the time offers of places in Faculty of Arts courses are received.
Texts are listed under individual subjects in the following categories:
Students should obtain copies of these for their personal use. Library copies are provided in minimal numbers.
Students should ensure ready access to one or more appropriate titles. In the absence of prescribed texts for a course, certain titles in this category are often of particular importance.
Students in doubt should consult their lecturers or tutors before making a purchase. The bookshop may be consulted for up-to-date information on any text listed in these categories.
These lists are normally available from departments at the beginning of a course. Books mentioned which fall into the categories already described should be available from or through the bookshop. Others are available from the library, or if required for purchase may be ordered through the bookshop.
