MORE
TO THINK ABOUT
- In the
first two sections of this chapter we have discussed certain
features of the structure of the university and of the
Ate
degree course in Australia . Compare this with the university system
in your own country. In particular:
Make
a list of the titles and functions of university which it would
be useful for new students to know.
Construct
a figure showing a typical undergraduate v: course in your own country
(use the example on p. 25 as s model) and explain what regulations
applay to it.
2.
If it is possible to obtain a University or Faculty handbook for
an overseas university or college, study it and try to work out
a degree course structure for yourself. (You may find some books
in Embassies or your university library. Maybe a a student who has
returned from studying overseas will be able to lend one.)
Discuss
this with a fellow student or with students who have returned from
study overseas and whether your proposed courseems to meet all the
official regulations.

Arrange a discussion in your class on the subject of Assessment
Questions you can cover would include:
- What is
the purpose of assessment?
- What are
the advantages and disadvantages of multiplechoice versus essay
exams?
- What benefits
and problems can you see arising open-book and take-home styles
of exam we have in this chapter?
(If
you want to practise a more formal tutorial discussion, three members
of your group to make a short (5 minute), each speaker discussing
one of the aspects listeda above.Then the whole class can join in
with questions and discussion)
