The Faculty of Science teaches in many professional degree programs especially in first year. These units of study are mostly mainstream, and hence not customized for the clients. The short term aims of this project are to:
• improve the first year experience for students in client faculties;
• develop targeted units of study for professional degree programs;
• define models of ‘approaches to delivery’ that are transferable to other disciplines; and
• raise staff awareness of the needs of incoming students.
The long term aims of this project are to ensure:
• sustainable ongoing delivery of quality focused learning experiences to students in professional degree programs; and
• effective liaison with client faculties for ongoing developments.
This project targets the student learning experiences in four professional degree programs
