Agenda for Teaching Committee Meeting 28 March 2003

1. New Course Proposal: COMP9031 Java and Internet Programming

2. BE SoftEng MBiomedE Proposal [KenR]

3. Addition of minors to BSc (Computer Science) [Tim Lambert]

4. A casual tutor has suggested that tutorial problem sheets should be distributed, by the tutors, in the tutorial, one week before they are discussed/worked in the tutorial. He cites increased efficiency of printer use, and actually getting the tutorials in front of all students' noses so that they can pre-view the questions before the tute.

5. Teaching Retreat Follow-Up: establishment of teaching clusters. See also Retreat Notes. The suggested cluster composition can be discussed, and cluster coordinators designated.

6. SE Cluster: re-accreditation of Software Engineering program

7. Discussion on re-organisation of PG Coursework Programs [JAS]
   This item has been postponed to a later meeting. Issues under this banner include the difficulties of supporting both first-session intake and second-session intake, difficulties arising from the disparate entry-level knowledge of the students, and particular difficulties with long prerequisite sequences in the MInfSc(Internetworking).
   Ideas welcome.

8. Foreshadowed proposal for courses on problem-solving [Hossam ElGindy]
