Honour's Courses 2011
The aim of the Sydney Universities
Consortium of Geology and Geophysics (SUCOGG) is to promote co-operative
teaching amongst the Sydney metropolitan universities. This co-operation
is of particular relevance at the Honours (fourth year) level in that
it is at this stage that specialist instruction is appropriately commenced,
but individual universities commonly lack the staff resources or sufficient
student numbers to allow a full range of topics to be offered. Informal
arrangements have existed in Sydney for many years whereby Honours
students may cross campuses to attend particular classes, but such
interchange has been rare. SUCOGG'S program of Honours course electives
is open to all students from member institutions.
Information on the 2011
course electives is given below. Non-excursion electives are
normally based
on approximately 25 contact hours. The course electives
mostly will
run in the first semester (March to June), and where
possible classes
will run on Thursdays and Fridays, normally at the home university
of the co-ordinating lecturer. Only those electives
that attract
a viable enrolment will run, and some may have a maximum
permitted
enrolment.
SUCOGG encourages post-graduate
participation in the course electives, and welcomes inquiries from
professional geoscientists interested in attending particular course
electives on a fee paying basis as part of their continuing professional
education.
How to Enrol
Enrolment by Honours students
is done as part of the internal arrangements at their own university.
Students should consult with their supervisors and the Honours Co-ordinator
at their home University for approval to include a particular course
in their program. Students then send an email to the course coordinator(s) to inform then of their intention to follow their course and may also register online (NB: This option is not available in 2011). The coordinator
in charge of the course will contact registered students to confirm
their official enrollment and give timetabling details.
Contact details of phone, fax
number and e-mail address of the co-ordinating lecturer is given in
the description of each course elective.
Any general inquiries or suggestions
regarding the course electives can be addressed to the Honours Co-ordinator
at your home University.
