      ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION  
    15 mins 5.1 Maths in the CSE Curriculum

    What do we need students to learn in and retain from Math 1A/1B? Would bespoke maths courses be more suitable for our students?

    15 mins 5.2 Statements on use of AI in Courses

    We are now required to make a statement in our ECOS Course Outlines on acceptable uses of AI in courses. Should we develop a school-wide policy/statement that everyone can use? Or are there enough differences in courses/assessment types that a range of statements is needed?

    		Everyone
    10 mins 5.3 2025 Enrolment Caps

    It looks like the federal goverment will impose caps on the number of international students enrolled in UNSW in 2025. We may have a say on which programs we can reduce enrolment intakes in. If we have a choice, which programs would we reduce?

    		Arcot Sowmya
    5 mins 5.4 Scholarship Criteria

    Should we expand the criteria for UGCA1585 and UGCA1617 scholaships to include high achievement in the European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics?

    UNSW is offering a number of ways to collect students' answers from exams. Here is another.

    5 mins 5.6 Course Titles

    Some courses titles have been modified informally in places like Webcms3 and Teaching Allocation. Should we change the course titles formally? Examples:

    • COMP2521 Data Structures and their Algorithms
    • COMP6771 C++ Programming
    • COMP9024 Data Structures and their Algorithms
    • COMP9315 DBMS Implementation
    • COMP9417 Machine Learning
    • COMP9418 Advanced Machine Learning

    Are there others? ... Note: Cannot stray too far from current version, unless you plan a serious revision.

    Unfortunately, it is just too late for 2025.
