Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

Reasons for change (FEC4/02)This unit was first offered in 2000. This subject proposal is to formalise the offering of the subject annually for semester 2 and summer semester in each year depending on demand.Reasons for this change (FEC 7/02)GSCIT proposes to change the teaching mode of this unit from off-campus learning only to off-campus and on-campus learning. The purpose of this change is to satisfy the ESOS on-campus offering requirement for international students, in particular for on-campus honours and MIT (minor thesis) programs.MIT (minor thesis) was recently introduced and has become a preferred replacement for Honours by some international students. GSCIT has about 3 to 5 international Honours and MIT(minor thesis) students studying in Gippsland campus every year. Since GSCIT only offers off-campus learning for the MIT program and the requirement of ESOS to have on-campus offerings for all on-campus courses, GSCIT is currently barred from enrolling any international students who wish to study on-campus into the MIT (minor thesis) program because of the ESOS requirement.The proposed change does not increase the lecture, staff or library requirement.This change also addresses the new requirement to enroll honours students for the individual on-campus units in Callista.Reasons for change (FEC4/03)This unit has been running for many years in second semester each year.In the rationalisation of the GSCIT postgraduate offerings, it is proposed to run this unit every first semester instead, starting from 2004.This unit is considered to have only required prior knowledge on information systems principles and its applications on businesses. Thus, the existing pre-requisite GCO4801 is proposed to be deleted.
