ANU College of Science and Medicine
This is an Advanced Studies Course (ASC) within the PhB (Hons) - Science degree. Students do multiple ASCs during their degree studies, each specifically designed to provide a strong research focus customised to each student. These courses are taken under the direction of the academic supervisor of a student in the PhB (Hons) - Science degree, but may involve teaching and learning from a very wide variety of sources. The program of study and/or research is approved by the relevant PhB School Discipline Coordinator and the PhB Convenor on the recommendation of the student's academic supervisor. The sources include but are not limited to: * Involvement in current research at the University or CSIRO * Special lecture courses * Reading courses/ literature surveys * Specially designed courses of field work or laboratory work * Development of problems for competitions like the Australian Mathematics Competition * A program designed in conjunction with one of the organisations working with Australia's teams in the Science and Mathematics Olympiads * A program of mentoring for other students that involves both production, for example on the web, and delivery of teaching materials
Assessment will be based on a negotiated student-customised mix of assessment tasks, that will include a written assignment and a presentation. At the start of the period of study, written details of the assessment are outlined on the ASC Summary Form and approved by the relevant PhB School Discipline Coordinator and the PhB Convenor on the recommendation of the student's academic supervisor
