1997 Swinburne Higher Education Handbook

Subject Details
How to find subieds
All unit or subject descriptions are contained in this
chapter. All subjects are allocated an alphanumeric code
and are listed here in code order.
The alpha code is made up of two or three letters which
indicates the discipline area, followed by three or four
numbers. A guide to these alpha codes and the relevant
page number is listed opposite.
The numeric code is made up of three or four digits, the
first of which indicates the academic level: 1 for a first
year subject, 2 for second year, 3 for third year and 4 for
fourth year. Any higher number indicates subjects at
postgraduate level.
Subject length
Unless otherwise stated all subjects are semester subjects.
T&ooks
Texts or textbooks are material essential to the subject.
Recommended reading
Because of the frequency with which individual
publications become out-dated, and are superseded,
textbooks and recommended reading are not listed for
all subjects.
Students are advised not to purchase textbooks or
reference books until the classes commence unless they
have previously consulted the lecturer in charge of the
subject.
In most subjects a detailed reading guide will be issued
during the first week of classes.
Students wishing to carry out preliminary reading in a
subject should consult the lecturer in charge of that
subject for guidance.
Subjects are listed in numerical order within the following
alpha-codes.
