    20T2 was the first term with fully online courses. Experience and lessons learned.


  7. Online Exams 20T2

    Online, open-web, non-invigilated exams. Some cheating detected. Can it be prosecuted this term? Can it be prevented in future?


  8. Design Next Courses

    DESN2000 ran for the first time in 20T2 for CompEng and SENG. Feedback?

    DESN3000 will run for the first time next year. Suggestions for content/projects?


  9. Viability of Streams

    Some majors/streams/specialisations have problems

    • low enrolments
    • prescibed elective lists too small or inadequate

    Should we continue to offer all current streams? Should we offer new streams?


  10. 14 → 12 → 10 → 9

    Term times have been compressed. Many courses haven't taken account of this; still trying to deliver 12 weeks content in 9 weeks. Is it time to review all courses and either change delivery strategy, trim, or re-distribute content? E.g. should we move to six level1/2 core UG courses?


  11. Any Other Business
