Area:	Department of Environmental Biology
Credits:	25.0
Contact Hours:	5.0
The tuition pattern below provides details of the types of classes and their duration. This is to be used as a guide only. For more precise information please check your unit outline.
Tutorial:	1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Fieldwork:	1 x 4 Hours Weekly
Other Requisite(s):	Admission: Permission of Course Controller / Head of Department
Syllabus:	Activities involve at least four weeks work full-time in industry, business or with an appropriate government agency. The work must be directly relevant to biology. Work may involve laboratory or field investigations, or a combination of both. The activities may involve a typical work routine pattern of the organisation, in which the students will be required to complete a series of tasks pre-arranged by the employer and unit controller. Alternatively, it may take the form of a self-contained project with a series of objectives, also pre-arranged for the student prior to their commencement. Upon satisfactory completion of each task or objective, or alternatively, at the end of each week, all students will contact the unit controller and inform them of their progress. For a routine work pattern students will record activities in the form of a diary.
To ensure that the most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes appears, they will be provided in your unit outline prior to commencement.
