| ITEMS FOR NOTING/DISCUSSION | ||||||
| 15 mins | 4.1 Supp Exam Policy To ensure that all courses follow a similar approach in dealing with students with Supp exams, Andrew has, after discussion with representatives from PVCE, Special Considerations and the Faculty, produced a draft procedure for the school. In partcular, this covers how to handle students who have special consideration for the main exam, the Supp exam and the Supp Supp exam. |

| 15 mins | 4.2 New Course: COMP9820 The MIT program has long had GSOE9820 Engineering Project Management as a core course. It's focus is on non-IT-type engineering project principles, which leads to our students avoiding it. Basem is proposing to replace GSOE9820 by a new project management course focusing on Software Project Management. This has two advantages: more motivating to our students; a very useful lead-in to the capstone project course (COMP9900). Note that changing a core course has substantial flow-on effects, including to possibly equivalent/excluded courses, the pre-masters program, as well as the obvious changes to structure of all of our MIT specialisations. Changes to stream/program structure have a long lead-time (see below). |

| 10 mins | 4.3 Revisions within SENG Wayne reports on progress towards revisions to elements of the Software Engineering program: |
|
||||
| 5 mins | 4.4 Avoidable Grievances As Grievance Officer, Sebastian sees many complaints which could be avoided if people responded to student emails or forum posts promptly. Also, it would help greatly if convenors could remember to tell their tutors to be kind and polite. These points shouldn't need to be repeated endlessly. |
|
||||
| 5 mins | 4.5 Proposal Timelines Course proposals go to Faculty Education Committee and Faculty Board. Stream proposals go to FEC, Faculty Board, then subcommittees of the Academic Board. Program proposals go through all of the above and finally need to be approved by the Academic Board.
|
|
||||
| 12 mins | 4.6 New Courses Some new courses that I know are in the pipeline ... Note that since none of these are core (I hope), they don't affect any program/stream structures. |
