ARMS OF THE UNIVERSITY 

The principal elements incorporated in the amis 

of the University are the blue of the sea, the gold 

of the sand and the red of the lllawan-a flame 

tree. The open book often used for educational 

institutions has also been included. 

The blazon is "Azure a book expanded Argent 

bound and clasped Or on a Chief of the last 

three Cinquefoils pierced Gules". 

THE UNIVERSITY 

The main campus of the University of Wollongong is located at the foot of 

Mt Keira about three kilometres from the centre of Wollongong and 80 

kilometres south of Sydney. 

The University had its foundation in 1951 //hen tfie New South Wales 

University of Technology established a Division at Wollongong. In 1961 

the Division became a College of the University of New South Wales. In 

1975, by Act of New South Wales Pariiament, the University became an 

autonomous institution. In 1982 it was amalgamated, again by Act of New 

South Wales Pariiament, with the adjoining Wollongong Institute of 

Education (which had tjeen founded in 1962 as the Wollongong Teachers' 

College). 

The University provides courses and undertakes research and other 

activities of accepted university standard. 

The total student enrolment now exceeds 12,000. The student body is 

diverse and stimulating, yet small enough to retain a friendly and relaxed 

atmosphere. 

Students and intending students are advised to contact the Student 

Enquiries Office at the University for any further infomiation they may 

require. 

The University of Wollongong is committed to the prevention of fraud and 

con-uption. 

THE UNIVERSITY ACT AND BY-LAW 

The University of Wollongong is established under an Act of the New 

South Wales Pariiament. The latest version of that Act- University of 

Wollongong Act 1989- defines ttie constitution and functions of tfie 

University, including ttie authority and composition of its Goveming 

Council and ttie provisions for its financial reporting and investments. 

The University has one By-Law approved by Pariiament. The By-Law 

prescribes, for example, the electoral procedures for Council and the 

Academic Senate and the authority and functions of the Vice-Chancellor. 

The University's operating legislation extends to Rules made in 

accordance with the By-Law. The Rules govem the management of the 

University and the conduct and obligations of its members. The major 

Rules related to students and their courses are reproduced in full in this 

Calendar (see page 44) and copies of the Act and by-Law are available 

from the Secretariat (Tel: 02 4221 3360).

INFORMATION LITERACIES 

The University is committed to providing opportunities for all students 

to develop skills and concepts in the infonnation literacies throughout 

their course of study. In this context ttie tenn infonnation literacies 

includes computer, information and statistical literacy. To be computer 

literate and statistically literate are attributes of a Wollongong 

Graduate. Infonnation literate people are "...able to recognise when 

Infonnation is needed and have ttie ability to locate, evaluate and use 

effedively ttie needed infonmation. Ultimately, information literate 

people are ttiose who have teamed how to learn. They know how to 

team because they know how infonmation is organised, how to find 

infonnation and how to use infonnation in such a way ttiat others can 

learn from them." 

(Ref: American Library Assodation Presidential Committee on 

Infomiation Literacy (1989) Final Report, ALA, Chicago) 

In onjer to assist the development of infonnation literacy skills during 

their course of studtes, students are required to complete an 

introdudory program during Orientation Week or ttie first week of 

Autumn or Spring session. This introdudory program will provide a 

basic grounding in the skills and knowledge necessary for students to 

use ttie University's infonmation environment effictently and 

effedively. The program addresses issues in each of ttie three 

literades. It is a mandatory prerequisite for learning advanced skills. 

Programs will be widely advertised in ttie enrolment package and in 

orientation literature, leaving ttie responsibility for attendance with 

each stijdent. Satisfadory completion of ttie introdudory program is 

mandatory and will be noted on each student's academic transcript as 

evidence of attainment of basic information literacies skills. Stijdents 

who do not satisfy this requirement by ttie end of their first year of 

enrolment will have their results withheld until they do so. 

Advanced infonnation literacies skills will be integrated into each 

student's academic program. Development of these skills is ttie joint 

responsibility of students, ledurers and support staff.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PRACTICE 

Plagiarism 

In a university, kleas are important, and rt is also important to give 

people appropriate aedrt for having ideas 

There are several reasons why you should give peopte credrt when 

using their ideas, three of the more important of those reasons are: 

"fairness to auttiors and other students, ttie responsibility d 

sfrjdents to do independent work, and resped for ownership 

nghts "^ 

If, in wnting an essay or report, you copy a passage from a book wordfor-word 

and don't give a reference to the book, this is: 

unfair to the author who wrote the passage in ttie book; 

unfair to other students who do their own wort< wrthout copying; 

failure to do independent wori< as expeded in a universrty; and 

breach of copyright 

Giving and gaining aedit for ideas is so important that a violation d 

established procedures has a spedal name: plagiarism Plagiarism 

means using ttie ideas of someone else wrthout giving ttiem proper 

aedrt. That someone else may be an auttior critic, joumalist artist, 

composer, tedurer, tutor or another student Intentional plagiarism is a 

serious fonm of cheating. Unintentional plagiarism can resurt if you 

dont understand and use ttie acceptabte scholarly methods d 

acknowtedgment. In erther case, the Universrty may impose penarties 

which can be very severe 

Over many years, procedures have been devetoped for acknowledging 

kteas in all fomis of expression In published wrrtings, for exampte, 

auttiors are expeded to give references to artictes and books on which 

they have relied, and to give wntten thanks to peopte who have helped 

them in preparing their wori< 

There are several mettiods for giving aedrt in wrrtten wori< and ttie 

leaurers and tutors in ttie academic unrts in which you sfody shoukl 

infonm you about methods ttiat are acceptabte to ttiem. A good way to 

gam a better understanding of ttiose mettiods in a particular disdpline 

is to read artictes published in academic joumals of ttiat disdpline 

The follovinng examptes will help you understand some ofttie common 

methods for acknowtedging your sources. If you have any questions 

about ttiese methods, check v^ntti your lecforer or tutor 

Bany M Kroll, "How college freshmen view plagiarism" Written 

Communication. Vol 5. No 2, April 1988. pp 203-221 (quote from o 

203). 

Acknowledging Sources of Quotations 

If you copy a paragraph or even a sentence from an article, a book, 

ledure notes or an essay or report of another student it shoukl be put 

in quotation mari

Exampte 6: In this essay, ttie use of censorship against Dorothy 

Hewett, Terry Hayes, Chris Masters and Brian Toohey will be 

desCTibed. 

Wrong: the last four chapters of Pollak's book are on these 

individuals, so you should give Pollak credit for having 

picked them out - and more credit if you used his 

tiook for your analysis. 

Paraphrasing 

This means taking ttie kleas of somebody else and expressing them 

wrth drtferent words. Since you are using your own words, you do nd 

need to use quotation marks. However, you must make enough 

changes so ttiat what you have written is distindly different, and you 

must acknowledge your source. 

Example 7: Stringent defamation laws combined wrth tight censorship 

practices have meant that independent thought has been under attad< 

since whrte settlement began in Australia (Pollak, 1990, p.7). 

Correct. 

Example 8: In Australia, stringent censorship and draconian 

defamation laws have led to the subjugation of thought in 

Ausfralia throughout the 200 years of Whrte settlement 

(Pollak, 1990, p 7). Wrong: this is too close to 

Pollak's original wording. 

Example 9: Stringent defamation laws combined wrth tight censorship 

pradices have meant that independent ttiought has been under attack 

since white settlement began in Australia. 

Wrong: there is no citation of Pollak. 

rt is often better to avoid paraphrasing artogether and write things in 

your own words. One good way to do this is to first read ttie book or 

article and make brief notes. Then close ttie book or tum over ttie 

artide and wrrte what you want to say wrthout looking at ttie source In 

ottierwords, don't refer to ttie source material while you are wrrting, 

untess you are transcribing a dired quote. Then, aftenwards, put in ttie 

citations, in the appropriate forni and at the appropriate places. 

Common Knowledge 

It is unnecessary to give a crtation to something that is common 

knowledge. Common knowledge is what 'everyone knows' about a 

particular subjed, or which can be found in many sources such as 

newspapers, magazines, popular joumals and radio and television 

reports. 

Example 10: Defamation laws are quite severe in Australia. 

Correct: this is common knowledge. No citation is needed. 

How to Avoid Plagiarism 

Unwitting plagiarism is often ttie resurt of poor study methods. The 

habit of copying verbatim (word-for-word) from a source as you read 

is dangerous. It is easy to forget that the notes you make are vertDatim 

and to later write them into an essay or report. The only material you 

shoukl wrrte vertâtim are those absolutely delightfol, prthy, witty or 

indsive phrases which you need to make a spedal point in your essay 

or report. 

The distindion between what needs to be acknowledged and what is 

common knowtedge is not always clear. As you gain experience in 

expressing yoursert, you will team to discriminate and you will learn 

the acceptabte pradices for acknowledgment in ttie disciplines in 

which you study But while you are learning, always play safe and 

acknowtedge, acknowledge, acknowledge.

88 Codes of Pradtoe 

CODES OF PRACTICE 

The Universrty has Codes of Pradice which govem the condud of rts members, both staff and students. 

The current Codes are: 

1. Research 

2 Students 

3. Supervision 

4. Teaching and Assessment 

The Codes for Sfodents and Teaching & Assessment are shown below. The Codes for Research and Supervision are presented in ttie Postgraduate 

Calendar 

CODE OF PRACTICE - STUDENTS 

Teaching at the Universrty involves the adive partidpation of sfodents 

who share wrth staff ttie responsibilrty to ensure that teaching is 

conduded effictently and effedively, enabling sfodents to achieve their 

maximum potential. A separate Code of Pradice - Teaching & 

Assessment induded in ttie Catendar sets out ttie responsibilrties d 

staff to ttie students they teach and covers every asped of ttie 

presentation, delivery and assessment of subjeds. 

To this end students of ttie University have the responsibilrties to: 

(I) become familiar with Hie rules governing ttie degree in which 

they are enrolled as set out in the Universrty Catendar 

(II) check their enrolment status at audrt dates in each session, and 

inform themselves of deadlines for wrthdrawal/addrtion d 

subjeds. 

(iii) abkte by ttie polides and pradices of ttie Facurty and/or of ttie 

Academic Unrt from which ttiey take subjeds, as explained in 

ttie subjed outiine handed out by ttie end of ttie first week d 

ledures for every subjed; 

(IV) 

(V) 

take ttie Inrtiative and consurt wrth appropnate academic staff 

when probtems arise (see below Reviewing Assessment 

Mart

aware ttiat other relevant material that becomes available during ttie 

pertod in which ttie subjed is taught may also be infroduced as 

required reading. 

Reviev^ng Assessment Marks and Grades 

Resurt notices are distributed to students at ttie end of each session 

setting out ttie aggregate mark and grade awarded for each subjed 

compteted in that session. If students wish to have their mark 

reviewed they must approach staff listed below in order given, 

progressing to ttie next line if ttiey are unhappy wrth ttie resolution 

achteved at that tevel: 

The Tutor/Marker 

The Subjed Co-ordinator 

The Head of Department (Program or School) 

The Dean of the Facurty 

The Dean of Students

to be availabte at least four hours a week (ttiese times to 

be publicly displayed in ttie Academic unrts) during 

session, so ttiat at reasonabte times sfodents may 

discuss aspeds of ttie subjed wrth staff, taking into 

account ttie needs of part-time students'^; to be available 

to students after mari

Assessment Committee which comprises all academic 

staff of the unrt. 

(ji) The Head, after receiving advice from ttie Assessment 

Committee, shall detennine: 

Hie mettiods for assessing ttie perfonmance d 

students, and 

ttie standard of achievement required for ttie 

approved grades of perfonmance according to ttie 

provisions of Course Rule 010 Assessment^ 

(ill) While attendance at presaibed dasses is not a 

component of assessment in any subjed, ttie Head may 

presaibe ttiat partidpation in class adivities be a 

conskleration for determining pass or fail. 

(iv) The Head may presaibe ttiat attendance at specified 

dasses be a mandatory requirement for satisfadory 

completion of a subjed and in such cases mechanisms 

must be in place to ensure folfilment of any mandatory 

requirements. 

23.2 The Role of the Assessment Committee 

The Assessment Committee for each academic unrt 

should advise ttie Head of ttie Academic Unit on 

assessment used in ttie Unrt induding all major 

components of assessment for each subjed, particularly 

examination papers. It has responsibility for reviewing 

examination papers to detennine whether ttie 

requirements set out in Sedion 2.4 below are satisfied 

and, rt not to collaborate wrth relevant examiners to 

ensure ttiat appropriate amendments are made. 

In advising ttie Head on the final mari< for each student in 

a subjed, ttie Assessment Committee exercises 

academic judgement by: 

(i) reviewing ttie resurts of assessment of each 

student and ttie grade distribution for each 

subjed; 

(ii) ensuring ttiat any modification or scaling of 

mari^s (as advised to students in ttie subjed 

outline) has been applied systematically arxl 

consistentiy; and 

(iii) ensuring ttiat ttie marks presented to ttie Facurty 

Examination Committee for detennination and 

dedaration properiy refled ttie levels of performance of 

individual students. 

2.3.3 Documentation of Assignment Receipt and Return 

Academic unrts must provide a system for recording ttie 

submission and retum of wori(, to safeguard against 

daims of non-receipt and non-retum. The recommended 

approach is to use cover sheets wrth two tear-off 

sedions, one to provkle a receipt for ttie student upon 

submission of ttie work to which ttie cover sheet is 

attached, and ttie other to provide a receipt for the unrt 

upon retum of ttie mariced work to ttie student. Shoukl an 

academic unrt prefer an alternative system rt must 

provkle safeguards against claims of non-receipt and 

non-refom.

98 Intemational Studtes - Globalise Your Degree 

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES: 

GLOBALISE YOUR DEGREE 

The University of Wollongong is a leading participant in a 

global tertiary environment. It is proud both of its 

reputation as a research and teaching institution of 

international standing and its ability to attract a diverse 

body of International students. Its reputation as a good 

place to study has been earned by being innovative and 

flexible in course and subject design while maintaining 

rigorous academic standards. 

The University now seeks to extend its commitment to 

internationalisation by encouraging students - both 

Domestic and International - to include in their degree 

selected subjects which will add an international focus to 

their degree. For example, all Domestic students, postgraduate 

and under-graduate should consider acquiring a 

rudimentary foreign language proficiency before they 

graduate; Intemational Students might consider taking 

subjects in Aboriginal Studies, Australian Studies, or 

Asia-Pacific Studies; students interested in worthing in 

the Asia-Pacific region might consider adding some 

regional studies to supplement their major. 

In addition, the University has exchange agreements 

with a number of overseas institutions which enable 

students to take some portion of their studies outside 

Australia. If a student was to consider studying in 

France, for example, it would make sense to acquire an 

introductory knowledge of the language and culture of 

France prior to departure. 

Such innovative degree planning will not only widen 

student horizons and broaden interests, adding crossdisciplinary 

and cross-cultural dimensions to 

programmes, but, of course, it also has the potential to 

add to employability. 

English Language Subjects for International Students 

International students whose first language is not English 

and who wish to continue acquiring English Language 

proficiency while they are studying at the University are 

urged to consider including ELS151 and ELS152 in their 

degree. These subjects are designed especially for 

International students whose school studies were not in 

English. The subjects provide an introduction to English 

for Academic Purposes and examine and provide 

practice in a range of written and spoken academic 

genres. ELS152 also includes one lecture a week on 

studying and learning in Australia. 

For further information please contact: 

Professor James Wieland 

Director of International Studies 

(Room G039, Building 19) 

Telephone: (02) 42 214144 

email: james_wieland(guow.edu.au 

Professor Wieland can assist you in choosing subjects 

with an international focus which will supplement your 

degree. He will also be available at enrolment for reti 

students.

Sctence and Technology Studtes 171 

Modem sctence and tec:hnotogy underpin almost every feature of our sodety. They impinge daily upon our lives and shape our fufores Sctence and 

Technology Studies is the academic disdpline which studtes ttie origin, nature and sodal impad of sdence and technology. 

To be constoered folly educated today, you must have teamed to examine for yourself questions such as, "What are sdence and technotogy? Why and 

how have ttiey grown in Westem Sodeties? How can we best control and dired sdence and technology?" In ttie past generation ttiere has tieen a 

revolution in our understanding of the answers to ttiese questtons. The field of Sdence and Technology Studies is where this inteltedual revolution is 

taking place. STS has a tong and distinguished history in European and North American Universities. In ttie last tiwenty-five years rt has undergone 

enormous expansion. In Australia there are now STS programs at Melbourne, NSW, Murdoch, Griffith, Deakin, as well as here at Wollongong, where 

we have one ofthe longest established programs in the country. 

Taking a major in STS will help equip you to play a produdive rote as a manager of technological change in industry, as a policy analyst in govemment, 

as a commentator on scientific and technological controversies in ttie media, or as a researcher helping us forther understand ttie way sdence and 

technology develop and can be shaped to tiest serve humanrty. STS can tie studied as a major, teading to Honours, Masters and PhD programs; as a 

joint major wrth anottier subjed (eg wrth History, Sodology, English, Psychology or Philosophy); or STS subjeds can be seteded to comptement 

majors in these subjeds or in ottiers, such as Sdence, Economics, Accountancy, Education, Metallurgy and Computing Sctence. For some degrees 

other than the BA, spedal versions of STS subjeds are offered wrth drtferent numbers of credrt points; check ttie schedute for ttie appropriate degree or 

consult the STS Undergraduate Co-ordinator.
