This unit provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in areas relevant to research in exercise and sports or nutrition sciences. Students will have the opportunity to select a topic of interest from a pre-defined list within their general field of study for detailed investigation. The detailed investigation and presentation of the findings will be performed as part of a small group,...

This unit extends the theory and practical approaches introduced in EPR150, with a Years 4-6 (or early childhood*) focus. It continues to explore the nature and relevance of science as it relates to everyday life, and contemporary socio-scienti¿c issues, including sustainability. You will also develop strategies to explore complex global issues in age-appropriate, inclusive, and culturally...

In this unit, you will delve into the biology of birds and mammals inhabiting the Southern Ocean, from Southern Australia to Antarctica, exploring their crucial roles in marine ecosystems. You will cover a broad range of topics including ecology, taxonomy, conservation management, climate change impacts, trophic pathways, and species health and disease, integrating these into a comprehensive...

Taking 'erotic text' in a broad sense, this unit explores the many functions - but especially the malfunctions - of desire in ancient literature. We will read some of Ovid's Heroides, fictional verse-letters written by heroines of Greek myth to their unfaithful lovers; a selection of love poetry ranging from Sappho to Roman elegy, in which erotic desire is represented as physical distress, as...

The unit engages students in higher level police supervision skills and capabilities required of operational policing in an increasingly complex social, cultural, and economic environment. Students will engage with assignment work grounded in critically analysing how to provide initial and ongoing support to people working in policing environment that will create broader thinking, more creative...

Everything on Earth and in space has a location. In modern society we use spatial information (i.e., positions), to understand the world and our place in it. The rise of easily-accessible location data via satellite positioning systems has changed the way we live, and significantly influenced how decisions are made at all levels - from the personal, to corporate and government. Satellite...

The objective of this course is to provide a thorough grounding in statistical physics and solid state physics. Statistical physics describes the structure of bulk matter - solids, liquids, gases, plasmas - in terms of very general assumptions about the behaviour of the basic constituents. It has close ties with both kinetic theory and thermodynamics but applies also to quantum systems. The...

Mathematics is a key learning area for all students and essential to an individual's ability to fully participate in society. The teaching of mathematics at all levels is changing in response to research into its teaching and learning and to ongoing changes in society. Research has shown that significant numbers of students become less positive about mathematics and their own ability to do...

This unit provides students with an understanding of how systems-based approaches are being used to address problems in human health and wellbeing. Students will plan and undertake experiments investigating disease mechanism using systems-based tools and approaches to data collection and analysis. ...

This unit introduces students to essential skills in technical English communication in engineering contexts enabling them to develop vocabulary, speaking, writing and comprehension of technical terms and grammar structures used in engineering. Students will attend a weekly Engineering lecture where they will be exposed to technical engineering terms in a variety of topics relevant to their...
