In Marine Ecology you will learn about the fundamental features and processes of marine systems. The influence of physical processes on the ecology of marine organisms is highlighted. The following themes are developed: influences of physical variables at a range of scales on communities and productivity; ecology of feeding and predator–prey interactions of plankton and fish; the dynamics of...

The applicability of calculus and linear algebra is so broad that fluency in it is essential for a successful career in a variety of areas including science and engineering. This unit is devoted to the conceptual and logical development of these two main areas of mathematics, gradually building the tools for solving innumerable problems of great practical importance. In calculus part of the unit,...

This unit is a continuation of KMA152, with emphasis on the application of single-variable calculus and linear algebra to problems in mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, economics, and engineering. The units KMA152 and KMA154 also provide an excellent introduction to the mathematical rigour required for higher level mathematics based subjects. ...

How do emerging technologies and communication practices integrate into society? This unit invites you to consider the speculative environment for emerging and new media. We consider how new media technologies and their uses encounter legal and ethical issues, and the social implications of these technologies. What does the future hold for our dominant media industries, and what do we carry...

This unit introduces you to introductory level theory which underpins the practice of paramedicine, with a focus on the initial assessment and management of the emergent patient presentation. You will be introduced to entry level concepts of paramedicine that include situation awareness, approach to the patient, and clinical assessment of a patient using a systems-based approach. You will develop...

This unit builds upon the material learned in CAA110 and will advance the development of knowledge of the theory underpinning the practice of paramedicine, enabling you to identify, assess and manage medical and trauma conditions encountered in the out of hospital setting. The epidemiological aspects as well as contemporary and controversial management issues will be addressed. This unit will...

Students undertake advanced studies in instruments/vocal performance in an individual program of study designed to develop a high level of technical and musical skills appropriate to the specialist area. The study focuses on the development of both professional-level knowledge and understanding of advanced repertoire and associated concepts....
