Enrolling in coursesAdmission and enrolmentThe difference between admission andenrolmentThese are two separate processes.1. You must apply to be admitted to the University and a Universityprogramme.2. You can enrol in the individual courses you want to take after you havebeen offered a place and have accepted the offer online.Once you are in your programme you just re-enrol each year.When to enrolReturning students can enrol from the first Monday in November for thefollowing academic year. New students can enrol once they have gainedadmission and accepted their offer of place on nDeva.Enrol as soon as you can for the best choice of courses and class times.(You can change your mind after you’ve enrolled – see p23.)You should have completed enrolment by the following dates:Summer School courses: 22 December 2009Semester One courses: 14 February 2010Semester Two courses: 4 July 2010You can add courses until the deadline dates specified on p23, but placesare not guaranteed.How to enrolEnrol using nDeva, the student self-service system at www.auckland.ac.nz/ndeva (see p20 for instructions). First, you must check courseavailability and work out your timetable (see p21).You can use any computer with internet access. Computers are availableat the Arts Students’ Centre and Arts Labs, both located in the HumanSciences Building, 10 Symonds Street, at Symonds Street level to the rightof the café.If you need help – Phone 0800 61 62 63 (or +64 9 308 2386 ifoverseas) or contact the Arts Students’ Centre (contact details are on p5).How many courses to enrol inTo finish your BA in three yearsEnrol in 120 points (eight 15-point courses) each year: 60 points (fourcourses) in Semester One and 60 points (four courses) in Semester Two.This is a normal full-time study load.Part-time enrolmentYou are part-time if you are enrolled in:• fewer than 100 points over two semesters in one year, or• fewer than 50 points in one semester, or• fewer than 25 points in Summer School.To be eligible for a loan or allowance during SemesterOne and TwoIf you enrol for each semester separately – You must enrol in atleast 50 points each semester. If you are taking 15-point courses, this willmean enrolling in at least four courses in each semester.If you enrol for both semesters at the same time – You must enrol inat least 100 points over both semesters. You could therefore enrol in four15-point courses in one semester and three 15-point courses in the other.Unless you are an international student, you may spread these 100points over Summer School, Semester One and Semester Two, if you enrolin all your courses at the same time.International students may spread these 100 points over SemestersOne and Two only, if you enrol in all your courses at the same time.You cannot count Summer School.To be eligible for a loan or allowance during SummerSchoolYou must be enrolled in at least 25 points. If you are taking 15-pointcourses you must therefore enrol in two courses. Contact the StudentFinancials Office for more information.To be eligible for an international student visaIf you are applying for a one-year visa – You must be enrolled in atleast 105 points (at least seven 15-point courses) across Semesters Oneand Two. Summer School does not count.If you are applying for a half-year visa – You must be enrolled in atleast 60 points (at least four 15-point courses) in either Semester One orTwo.Contact Auckland International for more information.Course availabilityCourse availability can change. The most up-to-date information is onthe nDeva Class Search; check this before you go to enrol. If it says “tobe advised” in this handbook, check the Class Search and if necessarycontact the department.Maximum enrolmentYou may enrol in up to 170 points in an academic year. Within this limit,you can take:• up to 80 points in each of Semesters One and Two, and• up to 30 points in Summer School.See p21 for how to use the Class Search.TimetablesBefore you enrol, work out your own personal timetable, taking intoaccount all the classes for each course. Use the nDeva Class Search tofind the most up-to-date times and note that timetables may change.(See p21 for how to use the Class Search.)To help you work out your timetable there is a Class Selection Worksheetat www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ae-how-to-enrol-on-ndeva18 | 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

RoomsClassrooms are usually shown on the nDeva Class Search. However,rooms are not finalised until the first week of semester, and in somecases aren’t allocated before the start of semester.Check rooms on the Class Search in the first week of semester, either thenight before or the day of your class.TBA – This means “to be advised”. If the Class Search continues to saythis, ask the department.See Dept – Ask at the teaching department’s main office. For example,if this related to an Ancient History course you would ask at theDepartment of Classics and Ancient History.How to choose your coursesYou need to be prepared before you enrol online, and you should haveconsidered the following.Are these the right courses for my degree?Each course you take must fit into the degree requirements so thatyou can eventually graduate with that qualification. Make an informedchoice – don’t enrol only to discover later that you can’t count the coursetowards your degree.• Familiarise yourself with the degree planning information in thishandbook.• Contact the Arts Students’ Centre if you have any questions or if you’dlike help with planning your enrolment.Do I have a timetable clash?You won’t be able to enrol in a course if the classes clash with those foranother course. Work out your timetable carefully before you go to enrol,taking into account all the classes shown on the nDeva Class Search, eg,related classes such as tutorials. See p21 for how to use the Class Search.For European languages – Submit the electronic AR20E form(at www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/sell). Enrol yourself as usual on nDeva.If you want to study above beginners’ level, see the School of EuropeanLanguages and Literatures.For Pacific languages – Submit the AR20P form (at www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/pacific). If you want to take a beginners’ course, enrol yourself onnDeva – you will be wait-listed until the department determines if this isthe right course for you.

The nDeva Class Searchwww.auckland.ac.nz/ndevaFor information online see www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/ae-how-to-enrol-on-ndeva, and see the generalguide to nDeva on p220.Check course availability and work out yourtimetableUse the Class Search to get up-to-date availability, individual classes andtimetables for each course.If you don’t yet have a Login, you can log in as a guest.Finding the course1. Select term – When you get to the Class Search you’ll first need toselect the term – this is the semester. Some courses are available inmore than just one semester.2. Subject area – The second screen asks for details of the course youwant to find. First, select the subject area. For example, if you wantedto find ARTHIST 106, this would be Art History – ARTHIST.3. Catalogue number – You then have to enter the catalogue number,eg, 106 for ARTHIST 106.Now click on search and you’ll get all the classes that are open, alongwith their times. (If classes are full they do not display.)Finding the different classesEach course consists of one or more class components. Each class has aclass number on the Class Search.The main class – This is the lecture.Related classes – nDeva will often also display related classes such asa tutorial or laboratory. (Sometimes these will be arranged within thedepartment and won’t show on nDeva.) You must attend all the classesfor the course, eg, the lectures and tutorial or any other related classes.Class Search examplesThe following examples use the course ARTHIST 106 and are based ontimetables for Semester One, 2009.The main classWhen we searched for ARTHIST 106 we got a screen showing eightdifferent class numbers. Below is the first class number (22519). This isthe lecture (LEC under Component).Under class number 22519 there are times shown for Monday andTuesday, 2-3pm. The days are shown on two separate lines because thelectures are in different locations (lecture room Eng 1401 on Monday andEng 1439 on Tuesday). Because they come under the one class number,these two hours of lectures are part of the same class. You would enrol inclass number 22519 and attend a lecture on both Monday and Tuesday.Admission and enrolmentThe main class (lecture)Selection Result: 8matching classes found.For an explanation of the selection result fields, scroll down the page.ClassSubject Catalog Nbr Title Component Status Campus NotesNumber22519 ARTHIST 106LocationEng1401LocationEng1439Meeting Time2:00PM to3:00PMMeeting Time2:00PM to3:00PMMeetingDay(s)MonMeetingDay(s)TueImges & Ideas: Art sinceAntiqMeeting Start & End Dates02-MAR-0906-JUN-09Meeting Start & End Dates02-MAR-0906-JUN-09LEC Open CExam DateExam Start & EndTimeTBA TBA TBAExam DateExam Start & EndTimeTBA TBA TBAClass has associatedtutorial.Exam LocationExam Location2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 21

The difference between schooland UniversityAt University you are treated as an independent adult. It’s important to be well prepared academically,but you’ll also need to be self-motivated and committed to University study. You won’t be supervised tomake sure you attend classes or do all your coursework. Instead, you need to take ownership of yourown learning. Your own independent study is just as important as attending classes.University studyYou’ll also need to be proactive and take responsibility for yourself. Thereare many resources and sources of help available, and we expect you tofind out about these and seek help when you need it. Information aboutmany of these resources and support services is in this handbook.Your workloadIf you are a full-time student you should regard University as a full-timejob. Each 15-point course should involve about ten hours of work eachweek. This includes classes (three or four hours per course) andindependent study (six or seven hours per course).AttendanceAttendance at lectures and any other classes (eg, tutorials andlaboratories) is a basic requirement. If you skip lectures or other classes,or don’t adequately prepare for them, you will compromise both yourlevel of achievement and the benefit you derive from University study.Tutorials are just as essential as lectures, and you’re expected to attendboth.For information about timetables and room allocations, see pp18-19.TutorialsAlthough they have a very different format, tutorials are just asimportant as lectures.Tutorials are classes where a tutor takes a small group of students. Theyare not remedial or catch-up classes, but an opportunity to reinforce yourlearning by discussing and asking questions about the topics covered inlectures. Our data on student attendance and pass rates confirms thatparticipation in tutorials is an essential part of success at University.Working on your ownTaught classes are just one aspect of your learning.You will have hours or even days without classes, and making good useof this time is just as important as going to class. University teaching andlearning is designed so that you spend time outside class workingindependently, either on your own or with others. This might involvereading and researching, preparing essays or assignments, preparing forlectures and tutorials, working in language laboratories, consulting tutorsor attending courses to improve your academic skills. You might chooseto work at home, or in the Library, the Information Commons or the ArtsLabs.See the example of a weekly timetable on p26.2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 25

Poor academicwriting skills will affect your performance and your grades.(If you need help with English as a second language, see p216.)Have your skills assessedAll first-year students are expected to complete a screening through theDELNA programme (Diagnostic English Language Needs Assessment).DELNA is an assessment which allows us to identify your level ofacademic English. If you need to improve your skills, we can then directyou to effective sources of help within the University. DELNA is only forstudents who have accepted a place and enrolled at The University ofAuckland. It is not used to exclude you, there is no cost and the results donot appear on your academic record.The faster you improve your skills the greater your chance of being ableto participate effectively in your courses and get good grades. BecauseDELNA can identify your needs before you even begin studying, you canstart to improve your skills immediately and increase your chances ofsuccess.There are two parts to the DELNA assessment.1. The ScreeningThis is taken by all first-year students and enables us to quickly identifystudents who are unlikely to need help and those who will. The screeningtakes about 30 minutes.University study2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 29

2. The DiagnosisThis is taken by those students whose screening results suggest that theymay need assistance. We can then direct you to the most appropriatesources of help.University studyTo book your assessmentGo to www.delna.auckland.ac.nz/booking to book your screeningassessment during orientation week or in the first week of semester.For more informationVisit www.delna.auckland.ac.nzWays you can improve your academic writing skillsThe BA subject Writing Studies includes courses which will develop yourwriting skills.

(Some BA subjects are also available forother degrees, and there may be courses which you can’t count as BAcourses.)General Education courses have the same workload as other universitycourses, and the same standard of work is expected. Many are alsoavailable as standard courses in other degrees. All students attend thesame classes and complete the same coursework.The General Education courses you can take depend on whichprogramme you are in and the other subjects you are taking. If you are inthe BA, see p36; BA conjoint students should refer to p43.If you have transferred from another institutionThere are special arrangements for students who have transferred toThe University of Auckland with credit. Refer to p37 (if you are in the BA)or p43 (if you are in a BA conjoint).Choosing your subjectsYou are free to take any combination of BA subjects, but you can getmore out of your degree if you study complementary subjects. See p54for some ideas.Stage I coursesYou can take Stage I courses in your second or third year, provided theyfit into the degree requirements. (There is a limited number of Stage Icourses you can count towards your degree.)Stage II and III coursesStage II and III courses have prerequisites, which are courses or pointsyou must have passed to be able to enrol. As a very general rule, youmust have passed two courses at Stage I to enrol in Stage II, and twocourses at Stage II to enrol in Stage III. Prerequisites are listed undereach course in this handbook.34 | 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

Planning your BAQuick factsTime to complete: three years full-time (mayalso be taken part-time).You can take as long as you need to finish.Points per degree: 360Courses per degree: 24 (each course is worth15 points)Application closing date: 8 December 2009Classes start: 1 March 2010 or 19 July 2010.Highlights• You are free to follow your own interests andcombine any BA subjects.• The BA’s flexible structure allows you toadapt your degree as your studies develop.Advice for first-year studentsTreat your first year as an opportunity to discover your interests and strengths. The best strategyis to try out different subjects while giving yourself a good foundation for later years. You shouldchoose subjects you think you may want to continue with in later years – but you don’t need todecide your major or minor until your second year.Choose the three BA subjects that interest you the most and take two courses in each. Take onecourse in a fourth BA subject, and your eighth course in General Education. For maximum flexibilityall the BA subjects you take in your first year should be available as both majors and minors.You should not take more than five different subjects in your first year or you may need to takemore courses (and time) to complete your degree.The diagram below shows the enrolment pattern we recommend for your first year.BAsubject 12BAsubject 22BAsubject 32BAsubject 41GeneralEducation1= 8 coursesPlanning your study• Many BA subjects are complementary, andso you can enrich your studies and build acoherent degree programme. (For moreinformation see p54.)• You’ll be able to develop sought aftertransferable skills that you can use in avariety of careers. For information aboutcareers, see p217.BA degree requirementsAlso see the degree examples on pp38-40.This enrolment pattern will leave your options open. For your second year you will be able to choosetwo or three of these subjects to take at Stage II. Two subjects will eventually become your majorand minor, or your two majors. See the degree examples on pp38-40.Advice for transferring studentsStudents who have transferred from another tertiary institution should note the following.• As well as a major, your BA must include either a minor or a second major.• To be awarded a University of Auckland degree, you must complete the equivalent of at leastone full-time year of study as an enrolled student at The University of Auckland, regardless of thetransfer credit you have been awarded.• You may be exempt from having to take General Education if you enrolled in a BA or BA conjointbefore 2006, or depending on the number of transfer credit points you’ve been awarded.

Planning your studyHow many courses to enrol inTo complete in three years you would enrol in (and pass) 120 points (eight15-point courses) each year – 60 points (four courses) in Semester Oneand 60 points (four courses) in Semester Two.The University limits how many courses you can enrol in per year and persemester (see p18).Majors and minorsYour BA must include either a major and a minor or two majors (a doublemajor).The major is the subject which is the main focus of your degree, andwhich you take to the most advanced undergraduate level.A double major allows you to study two subjects to an advanced level.Choosing courses for your major / minorEach BA subject has a schedule (or list) of the courses which you cancount as part of that subject. Choose your courses from this list –see “Requirements for major and minor” under each subject in thishandbook.Some courses appear in the lists for more than one subject, but you canonly count them once (and for one subject) towards your degree.Special requirements for your major / minorCompleting your major or minor may involve more than just passingthe right number of courses. Some subjects also have particularrequirements for a major or minor, eg, compulsory courses.Check the “Requirements for major and minor” section under the subjectentries in this handbook.The minor is the secondary focus of your BA.Choosing your major / minorSee p33 for the BA majors and minors available.For your first year you don’t need to know your major or minor. Youshould have made this decision for your second year; after that it canbe difficult to change your mind without having to take extra courses.Depending on the courses you’ve already passed, you may be able toswap your major and minor, or turn your minor into a second major, atthe end of your second year.Requirements for a single majorCoursesAt least 9,including at least 4 at Stage IIIRequirements for a double majorCoursesFor each major:At least 8,including at least 3 at Stage IIIRequirements for a minorCoursesAt least 6,including at least 4 above Stage I*Points135,including at least 60 at Stage IIIPointsFor each major:At least 120,including at least 45 at Stage IIIPointsAt least 90,including at least 60 above Stage I*These can be at Stages II and III or all at Stage II, provided you meet theoverall Stage III requirement for the degree.Single and double majorsThe number of courses you must take for your major depends on whetherit is a single major or one subject of a double major.If you are taking a double major:• you still have to meet any specific requirements for each major• you will not take longer to finish your degree – your 360 points will justbe organised in a different way.Courses above Stage IAt least half the courses for your BA must be above Stage I, ie, at least180 points above Stage I, including at least 75 points at Stage III.Your Stage I allowanceIt’s very important not to take too many Stage I courses. Your BA canonly include up to 180 points at Stage I (ie, 12 15-point courses). Your twoGeneral Education courses are included in this allowance of 12 Stage Icourses.The Stage III requirementYour BA must include 75 points (5 courses) at Stage III. This is one morecourse than you need for a single major (4 courses). You may take thisfifth Stage III course in any subject, provided you have the prerequisites.The table below explains the requirement for courses above Stage I.Stage I Stage II Stage IIICan take up to 180points at Stage I30 points (2 courses)in General Education*Can take up to 150more points(10 courses)= 12 coursesat mostMust take at least 180 points above Stage I,including at least 75 points at Stage IIIAt least 75 points(5 courses) atStage III**= 12 courses at least,including Stage III requirement*There are some Stage II General Education courses.**This includes courses for your major.General EducationWhen to take General EducationYou can take your two General Education courses at any time, but werecommend that you take one in your first year.How to choose your General Education coursesThe courses you can take depend on which degree you are in and theother subjects you’re taking.There are General Education schedules (groups of courses) which list thecourses available for each degree.

Heading BTessa’s degree: a BA with a major and minorTessa is about to begin her BA and is not quite sure what to study. She goes to the Arts Students’Centre for some ideas. Together they fill in a degree planner to see how her degree might fittogether.I really want to get away from the same old school subjects anddo something different.Which subjects appeal to you? What sort of things are you interestedin?Well, I’m interested in the world around me – society andpolitics, I suppose. And I like discussing things that are a bitcontroversial.Some ideas could be Sociology, Political Studies and Philosophy. You’llneed another BA subject for your first year as well.I’d quite like to try learning a language – can I start fromscratch? I’d like to have a go at learning Italian.But what if I wanted to pick up a Stage I course in somethingelse in my second or third year? Can you only take Stage Icourses in your first year?No – that’s an idea a lot of new students have, but it’s not true. Youcan take Stage I courses in your second or third year as long as youdon’t end up with too many Stage I courses in your degree. Lots ofpeople take Stage I courses in their second or third year.Now let’s imagine I’m at the end of my second year. I could nowhave my major in either Political Studies or Philosophy, couldn’t I?Political Studies would be easier, because you’d have taken morecourses in that. You’d have to take five Philosophy courses in your thirdyear otherwise. You could do a double major fairly easily, though.Planning your studyYou certainly can start from scratch. Let’s put down a beginner’scourse in Italian – and then with a General Education course you’dhave the eight courses you need for your first year.OK, that’s my first year sorted! But what if I get to the start ofmy second year and I still don’t know what I want to major andminor in? Just say I couldn’t decide between Political Studiesand Philosophy.That’s not a problem – you’d still have time to decide which one wasgoing to be your major or minor. As long as you’ve narrowed it downto these two, you could keep thinking about it during your second year.In fact, if you wanted to continue with Sociology you could take a StageII course in that as well. At least half your BA has to be in coursesabove Stage I, so that course will help with that.Well let’s say I major in Political Studies and minor inPhilosophy. But why are you putting a Stage III course inPhilosophy into my degree planner?Because you have to have five Stage III courses overall in your BA, notjust the four you need for your major – although if we arranged thingsdifferently you could do all five in Political Studies.Tessa is a fictional character and these subjects are examples only.Stage I course Stage II course Stage III courseYear 1Year 2PoliticalStudiesPhilosophy Sociology Italian Film,Televisionand MediaStudiesGeneralEducationBA courses8 courses(120 points)8 courses(120 points)Year 38 courses(120 points)= major(9 courses –135 points)= minor(6 courses –90 points)BA total =24 courses(360 points)2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 39

Planning your studyGetting adviceYou’ll need to consult both faculties for advice about your conjointprogramme. See the Arts Students’ Centre for advice about the BAconjoint.How many courses to enrol inTotal courses per yearEnrol in a total of 135 points each year to finish in four or five years,depending on your programme (135 points is the equivalent of nine15-point courses). It may be possible to take extra courses in SummerSchool, or to take only 120 points each year and take one extra semesterto complete.The University limits how many courses you can enrol in per year and persemester – see p18.BA courses per yearYou would normally take four or five BA courses each year. However, thenumber of BA courses you take in any given year may depend on thedemands of your other degree.BA subjects and coursesChoose your subjects from the list on p33 and your courses from thoselisted in this handbook. If a course is not in this handbook, it is not a BAcourse and may not be included in the BA conjoint (General Education isthe exception).If you are taking a BA subject which is also available for another degree,be aware that there may be courses in that subject which are not BAcourses (eg, some MGMT and MUSIC courses). BA courses are listed inthis handbook.Courses with G course codesSome courses are only available with a G course code. You may only takea G-coded course if you are taking it for General Education.The major or double majorThe BA conjoint must include one major subject or two major subjects (adouble major) – see the information on p36.The major for your BA and for your other degree must not be in the samesubject.Advice for first-year studentsYou need to be clear about what you want to study, and you should beprepared to major in one of the subjects you study in your first year.However, you should still use your first year to explore your interests andplan your enrolment to leave your options open for later years.In your first year you will usually enrol in a total of nine courses. Unlessyou have to give priority to courses for your other degree, you should takefour or five BA courses.Choose the two BA subjects which interest you the most from the list onp33 and take two courses in each. (Both subjects should be available asBA majors.) If possible, take a fifth course from a third BA subject.You should not take General Education in your first year. It is moreimportant to study BA subjects so that you have as many options aspossible for your second year.We don’t recommend that first-year students take five courses (75 points)in their first semester at University, as this is too heavy a workload tobegin with.The diagram below shows the BA enrolment pattern we recommend foryour first year.BAsubject 12BAsubject 22BAsubject 3(if possible)1= 4 or 5BA coursesFor your second BA year you can then choose one or two subjects to takeat Stage II. If you take two subjects at Stage II, you should have a choiceof majors and also the option of doing a double major.Each conjoint combination is different. Your BA enrolment willdepend on what you need to do for your other degree and you may notbe able to follow the first-year pattern above. Get advice from your otherfaculty and work out how to meet the requirements for both degrees.Refer to the degree examples on pp44-46.Note that the BA conjoint does not require a minor.Courses above Stage IYour BA conjoint must include at least 150 points above Stage I, includingat least 75 points at Stage III.The Stage I allowanceIt’s very important not to enrol in too many Stage I courses. You can onlyinclude up to 120 points at Stage I (ie, eight 15-point courses) in your BAconjoint. Your General Education course is included in this allowance ofeight Stage I courses.The Stage III requirementThe overall Stage III requirement (five courses) is one more than you needfor a single major (four courses). You may take this fifth Stage III course inany BA subject, provided you have the prerequisites.The table below explains the requirement regarding advanced courses inthe BA conjoint.Stage I Stage II Stage IIICan take up to 120points at Stage I1 course (15 points)in General Education*Up to 7 BA courses(105 points)= 8 coursesat mostMust take at least 150 points above Stage I,including at least 75 points at Stage IIIAt least 75 points(5 courses)**= 10 courses at least,including Stage III requirement*There are some Stage II General Education courses.**This includes courses you take for your major.42 | 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

General EducationMost conjoint programmes include a total of 30 points (two courses) inGeneral Education – 15 points (one course) for each component degree.Planning advice for specific conjointsNote: the major for your BA and for your other degree must not be in thesame subject.When to take General Education for the BA conjointYou can take this course at any time. However, we recommend that youdo not take it in your first or final year of the BA conjoint. Refer to theadvice for first-year students on p42.How to choose your BA conjoint General EducationcourseThe courses you can choose from depend on your conjoint programmeand the other subjects you’re taking.There are General Education schedules (groups of courses) which listthe courses available for each conjoint programme.

Heading BSam’s degree: a BA conjoint with a single majorSam goes to the Arts Students’ Centre to check that he’s enrolling in the right courses for his firstyear of the BA conjoint.Can I just do all my Stage I courses in Anthropology?There’s nothing to stop you, but to be honest that would not be a wisething to do. We see lots of students who are so certain they want tostudy something, and then by the end of their first year they changetheir minds completely! There’s always the possibility that you maychange your mind, so why not take another subject or two just in case?It’s also good for career options to keep your studies broad rather thannarrow.OK, I admit it does sound like a good idea to take courses inanother subject. I guess Art History was my second choice, solet’s go for that. And I’ve seen a course in Pacific Studies thatlooks pretty interesting.Now if we fill in a degree planner with all that you’ll be able to seehow this plan leaves your options open. And let’s imagine that at theend of your first year you’ve changed your mind completely and youwant to major in Art History.And after my second year I don’t want to take any moreAnthropology courses. Now when should I start taking Stage IIIcourses for my Art History major?Don’t leave them all for your last year. Get some under way in yourthird year so that you don’t have too much pressure in your final year.What if by studying Anthropology I got interested in MāoriStudies. Could I do a minor in Māori Studies?There’s no minor in the BA conjoint. But you can certainly branch outby taking some courses in Māori Studies. In fact these courses wouldhelp get you the courses you need above Stage I and also the fiveStage III courses you need for your degree.I shouldn’t do too many Stage I courses, should I?You really do have to be careful not to take too many Stage I courses,especially in a conjoint. You can only take seven Stage I BA courses,plus your one General Education course. Sometimes students just keepon taking Stage I courses without really thinking about it. The troubleis, they find out too late that they can’t count them towards theirdegree.Sam is a fictional character and these subjects are examples only.Planning your studyStage I course Stage II course Stage III courseYear 1Year 2Year 3Art History Anthropology Mäori Studies PacificStudiesGeneralEducationBA courses5 BA courses(75 points)4 BA courses(60 points)5 BA courses(75 points)Year 44 BA courses(60 points)BA conjoint total= 18 courses(270 points)= major(9 courses –135 points)2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 45

Ancient HistoryAncient HistoryAncient History, Classical Studies, Greek, and Latin are the fourdisciplines taught in the Department of Classics and Ancient History.Ancient History covers the history of the Egyptian, Greek and Romancivilisations. In these civilisations we can find almost every politicalexperience. Many of the problems facing modern societies were alsoencountered and discussed, and solutions to them attempted.Stage I courses give special attention to social, cultural and artistictopics, and clarify the outlines of historical development. At moreadvanced levels the ability to interpret ancient sources is emphasised.If you are studying Egyptian history you may find it desirable to knowthe Egyptian language (hieroglyphics), and this is taught from Stage II inANCHIST courses. For Greek history you may find it desirable to knowGreek language, and for Roman history, Latin. The department teachesLatin and Greek as subjects in their own right. Because of the importanceof language knowledge, you are required to have passed at least onelanguage course in order to advance to a BA(Hons) in Ancient History –see “Postgraduate study” below.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) The Department of Classics and Ancient History has been connectedover many decades with the development of important scholars, authorsand university teachers in the areas of ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.The BA(Hons) and MA in Ancient History are standard intermediatedegrees for those aiming for an academic career, and may lead into PhDprogrammes.The BA(Hons) in Ancient History may be taken after a completed BA.To be admitted you must have a major in Ancient History or ClassicalStudies, or a major in Greek or Latin plus 90 points in Ancient History orClassical Studies.

At The University ofAuckland the subject covers four sub‐disciplines: Archaeology, BiologicalAnthropology, Social Anthropology and Ethnomusicology. Thesesub‐disciplines bridge the natural sciences, the social sciences and thehumanities. You can choose to specialise in one or more sub‐disciplines,although the department embraces a unified view of Anthropology andoffers interdisciplinary courses across this spectrum.Areas of studyArchaeology studies the development of human culture from itsearliest beginnings to the present day. There is an emphasis on Pacific,New Zealand and Australian archaeology, with additional coursescovering other regions, and archaeological theory methods.Biological Anthropology is the study of our species, Homo sapiens, ourimmediate ancestors and close relatives, from a biological point of view.You can study primates, human growth, genetics and fossil materials.Ethnomusicology is the study of music in the context of human culturallife. (See the separate entry for Ethnomusicology.)Social Anthropology enables you to study different cultures and waysof life ranging from African tribal communities to contemporary Polynesiaand the suburbs, factories and boardrooms of modern New Zealandand Europe. Social anthropologists employ a wide range of theoreticalperspectives on human social life, the environment and symbolicelements of culture.In your first yearThere are seven Stage I courses to choose from, covering the range ofsub‐disciplines in Anthropology (Archaeology, Biological Anthropology,Social Anthropology and Ethnomusicology). ANTHRO 104 Peoples andCultures of the Pacific is offered as part of both Anthropology and PacificStudies. MĀORI 130 may be taken as an Anthropology course.Constructing your major or minorAnthropology majors must take at least 30 points (two courses) fromANTHRO 100 to 104. Generally students choose their first year courseswith some idea of which sub‐discipline of Anthropology they are likely topursue in later years. For example, if you want to specialise in BiologicalAnthropology you should do ANTHRO 102 Introduction to BiologicalAnthropology plus one other Stage I Anthropology course fromANTHRO 100 to 104. If you want to specialise in Archaeology you shoulddo ANTHRO 101 World Archaeology and one other Stage I Anthropologycourse from ANTHRO 100 to 104. This is also the same for the othersub-disciplines. You need to have passed at least two Stage I courses inAnthropology to enrol in the Stage II core courses.If you plan to major in Anthropology, you must take at least one ofthe Stage II core courses to allow you to progress to Stage III in yoursub‐discipline. The core courses are ANTHRO 200, 201, 203 and 219.You can select additional Stage II courses from the range available – see“Requirements for major and minor” below.At Stage III you should be guided partly by your chosen specialisation,with four courses (60 points) at Stage III required for a (single) majorin Anthropology. Interdisciplinary courses in Anthropology are alsoavailable.A minor in Anthropology requires at least one of ANTHRO 100 to 104.Anthropology minors are not required to do Stage II core courses butmay choose to do so.70 | 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

ComparativeLiteratureFrom 2010 Comparative Literature is available as an additionalBA subject only (the minor is no longer available). If you havealready begun a minor in Comparative Literature, see the ArtsStudents’ Centre for your requirements.Comparative Literature is the study of literature and related fields acrossboundaries of language, culture and discipline. Studying literature froma comparative perspective is particularly appropriate in a stronglymulticultural university like ours. It is of great interest if you enjoy readingworks from countries and languages other than your own, and if you wantto enhance your enjoyment and think more deeply about what you read.Areas of studyAny BA student can take courses in Comparative Literature as electivesin their degree. However they are of special value if you are majoring in alanguage or in English, because they will present in a systematic way skillsand theories which are relevant to your major. You can widen the culturalrange of your literary studies and add a comparative dimension to yourrepertoire of critical approaches. Comparative Literature courses introduceyou to works from a wide range of cultures, mostly in English translation,and develop general strategies for reading literature across cultures.You can explore literary forms, such as folktales, which are found almostuniversally, and examine such broad topics as: the social and psychologicalfunctions of storytelling; concepts of tragedy; the relation between literatureand the visual arts; and literature depicting the encounters betweenpeoples of different cultures through migration, colonisation or conquest.We recommend that to start with you take COMPLIT 100 ReadingComparatively. Nevertheless there is no requirement that the COMPLITcourses be taken as a sequence; the Stage I course is not a prerequisitefor the Stage II courses.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) Postgraduate study in Comparative Literature is available if youhave pursued undergraduate study in two literatures in the originallanguage (and preferably some COMPLIT courses), and wish to continueyour studies in those literatures at an advanced level. IndividualComparative Literature courses are also available if you are undertakinga postgraduate degree in another department. Recent research bypostgraduate students has included such topics as: a comparison of shortstories by modern Chinese and New Zealand women writers; the themeof European identity in writings by contemporary writers in continentalEurope; the representation of trauma in writing by women; writings aboutexile; translation and reception of New Zealand fiction in Germany.The MA is a one‐year degree which may follow a BA(Hons). The MA inComparative Literature is available as a Taught or Research Masters.See p56 and the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Handbook for moreinformation about postgraduate study.Career opportunitiesComparative Literature is useful for any career which requires literary,textual and writing skills in a cross‐cultural perspective: publishing,journalism, creative writing, editing, arts administration, performance,library work, translation, foreign affairs, international business, teachingabroad, secondary school teaching and teaching English as a secondlanguage. The skills developed through the study of ComparativeLiterature are useful in any occupation involving the ability to work acrosscultures.Stage I course for 2010COMPLIT 100 Reading Comparatively (15 points)Semester 1Whenever we pick up a novel, or a play, or a book of poetry from anotherculture, whether in the original language, or in translation, issues arisewhich are not present when we read a work from our own culture.Having only a limited knowledge of the cultural context from which thework comes, we are likely to approach it with expectations based in ourown culture and our own personal and literary experience. Whatstrategies can the reader adopt to avoid gross misunderstandings of aforeign text? Are some literary forms, themes, or motifs universally found,in all cultures? How can we prepare ourselves to handle forms andthemes we have never met before? What sorts of comparison arepossible between pieces of writing (and oral literature) in differentcultures? What kinds of interaction occur between the literatures ofdifferent countries and cultures? These and many other questions arediscussed in this course as texts written in many languages and fromdifferent historical periods are studied in English in the light of a range ofcontemporary approaches to literature.Convenor: Mike HanneStage II courses for 2010For a list of all courses, including those not available in 2010, seewww.calendar.auckland.ac.nz/coursesCOMPLIT 200 Narrative: Theory and Practice (15 points)Availability to be advisedMyths, oral tales, histories, feature films, diaries, strip cartoons, newsreports, evidence in court, as well as novels and short stories, are allforms of narrative.

DramaDrama as an art form exists in the form of texts which can be studied,but is not fully realised until a dramatic text becomes live and present inperformance. This situation demands a meeting between performer andaudience in a special space which we call the theatre. For these reasonsDrama is a complex and interdisciplinary subject. Dramas exist in mostcultures and languages of the world. The live production of dramatictexts can involve speech, song, music, dance, movement and gesture,lighting, sound effects, costuming and set design. Drama employs arange of different signifying systems in a public, time‐based event, andembodies its discourse in the form of live action. As such Drama is ideallysuited to addressing questions and issues of contemporary relevance anddebate. Very often historical and ancient dramatic texts are updated tothe technology and conventions of modern theatre. For this reason anunderstanding of historical and cultural changes in theatre is necessaryto all theatre production. Drama is both a creative subject (acting,designing, writing, directing) and an analytic and academic subject.The Drama programme addresses Drama as a subject in all the termsoutlined above.Areas of studyAt The University of Auckland Drama has its home in the Departmentof English, but at undergraduate level the Drama programme includescourses offered in Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Dance, EuropeanLanguages and Literatures, Māori Studies, Music and Pacific Studies, aswell as courses in English and those offered under the DRAMA coursecode. As you proceed with your study and move towards postgraduatework, you can begin to concentrate on one of a number of areas – one ofthe creative areas such as acting, writing or directing might become yourfocus; or you might be attracted to the historical or theoretical study ofDrama, how it works and how it developed different modes and styles.In your first yearIf you are thinking about the possibility of a major or minor in Drama,you are advised to take at least one of ENGLISH 109 Drama on Stageand Screen or CLASSICS 110 Classical Mythology through Tragedy.Constructing your major or minorDRAMA 204 is a 30‐point undergraduate course at Stage II which iscompulsory for both the major and minor in Drama.

EconomicsMany of the great issues that confront societies nationally and globallyrequire trade-offs between conflicting objectives. This is the essenceof Economics, which is a core component of the social sciences. Thereare two Stage I courses which teach the principles of Economics.Microeconomics is about decision-making by individual consumersand firms and about how resources are priced and allocated throughmarkets. Macroeconomics is concerned with outcomes for an economyas a whole, and so is concerned with variables such as income, growth,wealth, inflation, unemployment, interest rates and exchange rates.Both microeconomics and macroeconomics are also concerned with theinteraction between government policies and market outcomes.Areas of studyYou can study all the main areas of Economics. The courses available,including those required for a major or minor, have been designed to giveyou a broad but thorough appreciation of modern Economics and alsoto allow you to pursue your own interests in more specialised aspects ofthe subject. The emphasis is on developing your competence in economicanalysis and its application to real-world issues.Stage I courses are confined to the broad areas of microeconomicsand macroeconomics, with an emphasis on understanding economicprinciples and applying them to real-world issues. A broader range ofcourses is offered at Stages II and III levels.Other useful subjectsKnowledge of Economics is a valuable complement to other BA subjectssuch as Philosophy, Sociology, Political Studies, History, Geography,Employment Relations and Organisation Studies, Mathematics andStatistics, and to other programmes such as Commerce, Law andScience. In addition to the courses required for a major in Economics, thedepartment offers courses that are complementary to other Arts majors.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) Postgraduate study in Economics allows those who have completed amajor in the subject to extend their skills and pursue specialised researchprojects. Academic staff members teach courses and supervise studentresearch in their fields of expertise.The BA(Hons) in Economics may be taken after a completed BA. To beadmitted you must have a major in Economics with an average gradeof at least B in your best 45 points at Stage III in the major, and at leasta B pass in ECON 201, 211, 221, 381, either ECON 321 or 322, andone additional Stage III Economics course. The BA(Hons) is a one-yearpostgraduate degree which is awarded as a qualification in its own right.It may be used as the entry qualification for the MA.The MA in Economics is a one-year degree which may follow a BA(Hons).The MA in Economics is available as a Taught or Research Masters.Other options are also available – see the Faculty of Arts PostgraduateHandbook and the Business and Economics Postgraduate Handbook. Ifyou are considering postgraduate study in Economics you should discussyour options with the department’s Postgraduate Administrator orDirector of Postgraduate Studies.See p56 and the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Handbook for moreinformation about postgraduate study.Career opportunitiesWith an undergraduate major or postgraduate degree in Economicsyou will have one of the strongest possible platforms for launching yourcareer. Many of our graduates work as economists but some choose togo in other directions. Your career might be in industry, central or localgovernment, international business, the financial sector, journalism orteaching.

Radical practice in the arts, markedby experimentation and cultural risk‐taking, signified the contemporary.Convinced that creative works construct and define us, the Modernistsquestioned writing, the role of the artist and language itself.

Are literary works experiments? How have scientists used literarystrategies or examples? Can we mine literature for data about humannature? Are the subjectivity of the reading experience and the objectivityof scientific explanation inevitably opposed?

The first half of thecourse focuses on two seminal French narratives (in translation), Chrètiende Troyes’ Knight of the Cart, in which the story of Lancelot’s love ofQueen Guenivere is related for the first time, and the Quest of the HolyGrail. We take up the problematisation of earthly and spiritual love inthese coupled stories. The second half of the course examinescomparatively Malory’s retelling of the Arthurian legend, especially inBooks 6‐8 of his Morte d’Arthur. Two other works drawn upon by Maloryare considered in the second half of the course: the Middle Englishstanzaic Morte Arthur, and a French romance, The Death of Arthur.Convenors: Roger Nicholson and Tracy Adams (French)Prerequisite: 30 points at Stage II in English or FRENCH 200Restriction: ENGLISH 738, 746ENGLISH 343 Writing Poetry (15 points)Semester 2This course is about the practice of poetry and/or writing beyond genre.The aim is to progressively expand and elaborate an appreciation ofwhat writing might be and do in our culture.

If here is there at the click of a button, where do we wantto go?Poetry is a performative, oral art form that has been conventionallystored in books or journals. But with the revival since the late 1950s ofthe poetry reading and the more recent advent of electronic media,poetry has found transmissions and opportunities for archiving thatbetter suit its performance origins. These developments are alsomodifying how and what poets write the world over. We will investigatethis shift and its implications for reading communities by focussing onlive performance (readings in association with the New ZealandElectronic Poetry Centre, nzepc), the poetry archive (physical andelectronic) and digital poetry (multimedia options). Students will producea series of critical and creative web pages and engage in collaborativelive and digital exercises.Convenors: Michele Leggott, Helen SwordPrerequisite: any 30 points in EnglishENGLISH 352 Love and its Literature (15 points)Semester 2The state of being in love – and of searching for or recovering from love –has always given rise to literature. This course will range widely in historyand world cultures in order to consider the kinds of writing and readinggenerated by the love experience. An exploratory framework will beprovided by the psychoanalytic understanding of love as a question toself‐competence. From Homer to Chick Lit, we will consider how theliterature of love treats, makes bearable and/or sustains love’s workingenigma. We will also consider to what extent the love experience – whichinaugurates a search for signs of love not only in the actions and bearingof the beloved but also in the larger world – is always a matter of reading.Convenor: Eluned Summers‐BremnerPrerequisite: 30 points at Stage II in EnglishENGLISH 358 Te Torino: Pasifika Literature (15 points)Semester 1Pasifika literature (defined as Māori and New Zealand‐based Pacificwriting in English) is characterised by multiple crossings of cultural,social, political, gendered and geographical borders.

GeographyGeography is concerned with the causes and organisation of naturaland human phenomena in the environment. It spans both socialscience and physical science perspectives and applies this knowledge toresource assessment and environmental management. As a subject itcomplements other subject areas and integrates different perspectivesin order to establish a comprehensive knowledge of both human andenvironmental systems. Through Geography you can gain a foundationfor understanding and becoming involved professionally in many of theissues facing New Zealand today. Geographers study environmentalconservation, the social and economic structure of cities, demographicchanges and the effects of social policies, spatial and environmentalphenomena, and the management of water, soil, coastal, atmosphericand ecological resources. By its nature Geography helps to break downinsular viewpoints and contributes to international understanding and aliberal undergraduate education.Geography provides you with the opportunity to develop a range ofvaluable skills, including: spatial data analysis and geographical informationsystems; social and economic statistics; social science research methods,including field research and qualitative data analysis; as well as landform,environmental and hydrological interpretation. In addition, Geographyemphasises analytical and reporting skills, and our students apply theirtraining in real world situations. All Geography majors participate in fieldcamps, which are a popular feature of studies in Geography.Practical sessions in our courses consolidate the theory learned in lecturesand extend the application of techniques. Our human Geography coursesintroduce you to a range of social science techniques, while our physicalGeography courses introduce you to instrumentation for monitoring theenvironment and laboratory analysis of earth and organic materials.In all areas of Geography, computer applications for analysis andrepresentation form an important component of our practical approach.You may take Geography as part of either the BA or BSc. If you havestudied Geography at school we will build upon your experience. If youhave not, you will find that our Stage I courses will quickly bring you up tospeed. In either case there is a whole world of opportunity for study.Other useful subjectsYou can combine Geography with other social sciences and humanities togreat effect. Geography’s spatial and regional perspective complementsthe fields of Economics, Political Studies, Psychology, Anthropology andSociology, while the field research and technical skills taught in advancedGeography courses ensure that you gain experience in data collectionand analysis similar to that required in many careers. If you intend tocomplete a BA/LLB or BA/BCom conjoint programme we suggest thatyou consider combining a BA in Geography with your other degree.Students who have completed these conjoint programmes find thattheir understanding of human and environmental systems and theiracademic, practical and field experience in Geography complementtheir professional training in environmental, land or planning law and incommercial fields such as marketing and international business.The MA is a one-year degree which may follow a BA(Hons). The MA inGeography is available as a Research Masters.See p56 and the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Handbook for moreinformation about postgraduate study.Career opportunitiesA Geography degree is more than a passport to a wide range of careers;it gives graduates an edge in their careers. Many of our graduates usetheir training directly in the workplace, while others find that the broadeducation and flexible skills developed in Geography are in high demandin the job market. In recent years, Geography graduates have foundcareers in the following areas.• Commerce. Geographers are career-active people and many choosecareers in commerce and industry. They rarely wear the label‘geographer’ but you will find them employed in many of New Zealand’slargest companies, working as marketing managers, projectco-ordinators and business advisers.• Geographic Information Systems. Many Geography graduates arehired for their GIS training. Employers include forestry companies,environmental engineers and government agencies.• Policy and planning. Geography training emphasises the broadanalytical and communication skills that are sought after by centraland local government authorities.• Science. Many organisations employ geographers as environmentalscientists. These include NIWA, Landcare, environmentalconsultancies, and regional and city / district councils.• Education. Many positions for geographers can be found in education.You may take a diploma in secondary teaching after yourundergraduate degree to prepare you for a teaching career insecondary schools.Requirements for major and minor(NOTE FOR TRANSITION STUDENTS (first enrolled before 2006): refer tothe separate information which follows.)For a single major: at least 135 points, including at least 60 pointsabove Stage II.For a double major: at least 120 points in each of two majors, includingat least 45 points above Stage II in each major.The major or double major must include:• at least 45 points from GEOG 101, 102, 201, 202• GEOG 250• at least 15 points from GEOG 315, 330For a minor: at least 90 points, including at least 60 points above Stage I.GeographyPostgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) The BA(Hons) in Geography may be taken after a completed BA.

Ancient Greecehas given us a significant linguistic, literary and cultural heritage, andstudying the thought and culture of ancient Greece is as productive anenterprise as ever.The intellectual enterprises of the Greeks lie at the root of the tradition ofEuropean learning. The Greeks invented many academic disciplines,including history, philosophy, physics, political studies and theoreticalmathematics. They also established major literary genres and producedliterary masterpieces including Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, Pindar’s lyricodes, the histories of Herodotus and Thucydides, the dramas ofAeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes, and the philosophicaldialogues of Plato. These genres have had a long and fruitful influence onlater European literature. The myths and legends of gods and heroes thatinform Greek literature are a formative part of the Europeanimagination. The central stream of European philosophy, too, flows fromthe thought and writings of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Greek is thelanguage of the New Testament. The Hebrew Bible was translated intoGreek as early as the third century BC.Although the Greeks were eventually conquered by Roman militarymight, Greece (as the saying went) “conquered her own conqueror” andput Rome under the spell of the Greeks’ longer literary and intellectualheritage.You can complement the study of Greek with the other subjects taught bythe Department of Classics and Ancient History: Ancient History,Classical Studies and Latin.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) The BA(Hons) in Greek may be taken after a completed BA.

HistoryHistory teaches you the art of converting information about the past intounderstanding. There are many approaches to History, but the originalmeaning of the Greek Historia (“to question”) is still at the heart of mostof them. History is not just a series of events and dates. It is concernedwith what men and women have done in the past and why. History givesdepth and context to your knowledge of the present. It also gives youinvaluable skills: the careful and efficient gathering of information, thedisciplined screening and analysis of it, and the effective communicationof conclusions. These skills are vital to many occupations, and a widevariety of employers have found that History is particularly good atinculcating them. Students tend to find that History at university exceedstheir expectations and a high proportion continue with the subject.Areas of studyThere is a wide range of options, covering different countries anddifferent periods, to accommodate varying interests. All courses will giveyou certain skills. Our courses are developed to help you acquire andevaluate information and convey a logical argument in a precise butinteresting manner.Career opportunitiesCareers for History graduates are wide ranging. History gives you aknowledge and a distinctive discipline that are relevant to politics, thepublic service (such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and theTreasury), university and local body administration, broadcasting,teaching, library work, journalism and social welfare, as well as executivepositions in the business and commercial worlds.

Where appropriate, you will also be introducedto some primary materials to show the kinds of evidence on whichhistorians base their interpretations and explanations.Constructing your major or minorYou are encouraged to think carefully about where your main interestslie. You can choose to range over several cultures, themes and historicalperiods, or take most of your courses in a single field. There are possiblepathways within History.

Our capacity for language sets usapart from other species, and language is an important part of people’sconstruction of their national and ethnic identities. At the heart ofLinguistics is the study of the structure of human languages, their historyand the ways in which they change, the acquisition of language, and thevital role language plays in all human interaction. Linguistics hasimportant connections with other disciplines that concern themselveswith human communication. However, its connections spread morewidely still into the disciplines of anthropology, artificial intelligence,human biology, philosophy, psychology and sociology, as well as alllanguage and literary studies.Areas of studyLinguistics provides you with excellent opportunities to gain a thoroughunderstanding of the structural and cognitive aspects of language, theuse and functions of language in society, and language change. You canalso study the structure of English and the languages of the Pacific area.Latin American Studies | LinguisticsAnd teaching staff from the School of European Languages andLiteratures, and the Departments of Political Studies and Sociology.Contact informationFor academic advice, contact the UndergraduateAdviser.Undergraduate Adviser (Semester 1): Dr Kathryn LehmanPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 87626Email: k.lehman@auckland.ac.nzUndergraduate Adviser (Semester 2): Dr Walescka Pino‐OjedaPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 87107Email: w.pino‐ojeda@auckland.ac.nzThe School of European Languages and LiteraturesRoom 612, Level 6, Arts 1 Building, 14A Symonds Street (near the cornerof Symonds Street and Grafton Road)Phone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 87136 or 87137Fax: +64 9 373 7483Email: sell‐info@auckland.ac.nzwww.arts.auckland.ac.nz/sellIn your first yearIf you think you might want to continue with Linguistics, we advise you toenrol in either LINGUIST 100 or LINGUIST 103.

You can choose from a range of subject areas (language, society,material culture, history, politics, performing arts and media).In your first yearWe recommend that you enrol in two language courses, MĀORI 101Introduction to Written Māori and MĀORI 103 Introduction to SpokenMāori, and if possible also MĀORI 130 Te Ao Māori: The Māori World.These courses will give you the basic skills you need to progress in MāoriStudies. If you are fluent in the language or have studied it for at leastthree years at school, the Head of Department may allow you to enterdirectly into advanced language courses.Constructing your major or minorWhen you plan a major or minor in Māori Studies it is important tocreate strengths in particular subject areas (eg, anthropology, languageand literature, history, politics) from the diverse range required tocomplete your BA degree. There is a progression from Stage I courses tocourses at a higher level. Prerequisites for advanced courses are listedunder the description for each course in this handbook.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) Opportunities for postgraduate study in Māori Studies follow on from thesubject area(s) you develop in your major, providing a smooth transitioninto BA(Hons), MA and ultimately PhD. Each member of the academicstaff has their own research interests, teaches specialist courses andundertakes research supervision in his or her field.The BA(Hons) in Māori Studies may be taken after a completed BA. To beadmitted you must have a major in Māori Studies with an average gradeof at least B in your best 45 points at Stage III in the major.

Wherever problems need to be solved,mathematics has a role to play.Areas of studyOur first-year courses are designed to provide you with a rangeof concepts, theoretical results and analytical, computational andmodelling skills. These may be applied in a wide variety of areas – forexample, in biological, information and physical sciences, economics andengineering, as well as other branches of the mathematical sciences.Stage II and III courses build on these, covering more advanced topics,with the aim of helping you to acquire a broader base of skills and adeeper understanding of the concepts involved.Maöri Studies | MathematicsContact informationFor academic advice, contact the UndergraduateAdviser.Undergraduate Adviser: Arapera NgahaPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 88598Email: a.ngaha@auckland.ac.nzThe Department of Māori StudiesAcademic Block of the Marae Complex, 16 Wynyard StreetMāori Studies TaurimaMrs Rangimarie Rawiri, Room 114, Te Rehutai, 16 Wynyard StreetPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 87938Fax: +64 9 373 7409Email: r.rawiri@auckland.ac.nzDepartmental officeMere Gillman, Departmental Secretary, Room 111, Te Rehutai,16 Wynyard StreetPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 88506Fax: +64 9 373 7409Email: m.gillman@auckland.ac.nzMāori Studies Information CommonsTe Hukatai, Room 108, 16 Wynyard StreetPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 88479www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/maoriIn your first yearStudents enter the University with a variety of mathematicalbackgrounds. Our main first year courses provide two distinct pathways:an advancing option (MATHS 150 and 250) for students who may wishto major or minor in Mathematics, and a multi-stream general option(MATHS 108 and 208). Both meet the needs of students also studyingcommerce. There are introductory-level courses (MATHS 101 and 102) forstudents with weaker backgrounds and a separate course (MATHS 162)providing an introduction to mathematical modelling and computation.See the information about first-year courses under “Notes” on p168.Postgraduate studyBA(Hons) MA PhD(one year) (one year) The BA(Hons) in Mathematics may be taken after a completed BA. Tobe admitted you must have a major in Mathematics including eithera) MATHS 332 and either MATHS 320 or 328, or b) MATHS 340, 361and either MATHS 362 or 363. You must also have an average grade ofat least B in your best 45 points at Stage III in the major. The BA(Hons) isa one-year postgraduate degree which is awarded as a qualification in itsown right. It may also be used as the entry qualification for the MA.The MA is a one-year degree which may follow a BA(Hons). The MA inMathematics is available as a Research Masters.See p56 and the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Handbook for moreinformation about postgraduate study.Career opportunitiesWith a good degree in quantitative methods (mathematics, statistics,operations research and computing) you will have many opportunitiesfor careers in industry or government, computer development,insurance, meteorology, traffic engineering, systems analysis, computerprogramming, statistics, biometrics or operations research, and manyother fields. There is also strong demand for mathematics teachers.You should aim for a balanced mathematics programme and bearin mind that versatility may be of more value to an employer thandeep knowledge of one or two specialised topics.

First, we ask “what is language?”and “what is meant by world‐view?”, and explore some answers, such asthose proposed in theoretical linguistics and anthropology. The focus willbe on the view of language as a conceptual system whose main functionis the construction of reality. In this view, the vocabulary of a language isits inventory of conceptual elements that make up its conceptual world orworld‐view. We examine this as it applies to Cook Islands Maori, Samoanand Tongan languages and cultures. Module One will focus on thecultural meaning and significance of naming (personal and place names).A second module focuses on the languages of arts and crafts, such asthe vocabulary of ngatu (barkcloth), tivaevae and fine mats.

An historical “event”prior to World War II will be examined through both Western andindigenous lenses in order to trace the transformation of Polynesiancultures. Cultural systems: diversity, complications and rank will beconsidered in terms of a series of related themes – reproduction,sexuality and kinship, gender relations, religion and politics – in which thediversities and comparabilities of life‐ways in three Polynesian islands andthe influence of “contact” will be explored.Convenor: Melani AnaePrerequisite: 15 points from ANTHRO 104, LINGUIST 102, PACIFIC 100,105 and 15 points from COOKIS 101, SAMOAN 101 or TONGAN 101PACIFIC 204 Special Topic: Issues in Pacific Development(15 points)Semester 2The course critically examines the relationship between political governanceand economic development processes in the small Pacific Island states. Animportant focus will be on analysing some of the competing theoreticaldiscourses which have been used to understand Pacific Island politicaleconomy, as well as some of the ideological and cultural assumptions whichunderlie political governance and development policies and agendas andhow these have shaped the dynamics of change in small Pacific Islandstates. It will also emphasise the significance of regional governance,regional security and regional development and the extent to which thesehave been influenced by dominant neo‐liberal and geo‐political strategicfactors as well as local Pacific realities. A key aspect will be an examinationof the role of the state and civil society organisations as well as thedifferent contexts with which Pacific communities have responded togovernance and development discourses and practices.Convenor: Steven RatuvaPrerequisite: any 30 points in Pacific Studies176| 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

Itwill also look at different approaches to peace-building within the Pacificcommunities. Some of these approaches can be very formal, such asconstitutional engineering, external political intervention or politicaldialogue. Some can be based on customary forms of peace-building andrestorative justice. The course is multi-dimensional and involvestheoretical debate, analysis of empirical situations and development ofsome skills in peace-building.

It includes Metaphysics(which concerns the fundamental nature of reality), Epistemology (whichdeals with the nature and limits of knowledge), Ethics (the philosophicalstudy of morality), Social/Political Philosophy (the philosophical studyof the good society), Aesthetics (the philosophical study of beauty andart) and Logic (the study of what it is for an argument to be a goodargument).Philosophy deals with questions that arise when people reflect on theirlives and their world. Some philosophical questions are practical: forexample, “Is euthanasia justifiable?”, “Does the state have the right tocensor pornography or restrict tobacco advertising?”, “To what extentare Māori and Pākehā today responsible for decisions made by theirancestors?” Other philosophical questions are more theoretical, althoughthey often arise through thinking about practical issues. The questionsabove, for example, may prompt more general philosophical questionsabout the circumstances under which it may be morally justifiable to takea life, or about the extent to which the state may restrict the liberty ofthe individual. Some fascinating, “classic”, questions of Philosophy arespeculative and theoretical and concern the nature of knowledge, realityand human existence: for example, “What, if anything, can be known withcertainty?”, “Is the mind essentially non-physical?”, “Are values absoluteor relative?”, “Does the universe need explanation in terms of a SupremeIntelligence?”, “What, if anything, is the meaning or purpose of humanexistence?”Many philosophical problems also concern the foundational principles,methods and assumptions of other disciplines and human practices.Thus, there is the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Religion, thePhilosophy of Law and so on.The Centre for Pacific StudiesRoom 101, Building 273, 20-26 Wynyard StreetPhone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 85893Fax: +64 9 373 7420Email: m.gabriel@auckland.ac.nzwww.arts.auckland.ac.nz/pacificPhilosophers aim to reject dogmatic, authoritarian or purely rhetoricalapproaches to philosophical questions, and seek instead to proceedby means of arguments that can be critically assessed. We valuelively critical conversation, where people with different views engagerespectfully with one another in a common effort to advance theirunderstanding.Contemporary philosophical enquiry needs to be informed by anunderstanding of the traditions it has inherited, and so the History ofPhilosophy provides important resources for our own contemporaryphilosophical explorations. As a student of Philosophy you will continuethe tradition of critical discussion that originated with the ancient Greeks.Philosophy also engages, however, with contemporary developmentsin the empirical sciences. Recent philosophy of science, philosophy ofmind and aesthetics, for example, are informed by and contribute todevelopments in psychology and evolutionary biology.Areas of studyYou have the opportunity not only to learn about historical andcontemporary debate on philosophical problems, but also to engagewith those problems and thereby develop your logical, analytical andconceptual skills and your capacity for good judgment. The departmentfosters a pluralist ethos, encouraging different styles in Philosophy. Youcan therefore choose from courses with an emphasis on English‐speakinganalytical philosophy, in European Continental philosophy, and inAsian philosophy. You will find that Philosophy is relevant to many otherdisciplines; there are Philosophy courses that support and complementevery major area of study.178| 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

This course aims to providean understanding of what distinguishes the point of an argument(conclusion) from the reasons (premises) used to support the point. Thecourse aims to develop skills and techniques to evaluate the validity ofthe support that premises provide for conclusions. Everyday argumentsare translated into formal logical notation for evaluation. The courseexamines two main logical systems: propositional logic and predicatelogic (with identity), and shows how these formal systems are used toanalyse and evaluate everyday arguments. This course is a prerequisitefor all Philosophy courses in Logic at Stage II.

It is the standard system of logic,designed to apply widely, to all branches of knowledge. Despite itsorthodox status and foundational role, many of the most interestingdevelopments in logic, especially in philosophy, have concerned modaland non‐classical logics. These are logical systems that are intended tosupplement or replace classical logic. This course introduces thesesystems and shows how they can be applied to philosophically importantconcepts such as necessity, time, knowledge, vagueness, action andobligation. Applications in computer science will also be considered.Convenor: Koji TanakaPrerequisite: PHIL 101PHIL 222 Intermediate Logic (15 points)Semester 2Builds on PHIL 101, introducing the method of Natural Deduction.

Doreligious beliefs have to be “reasonable”? Can it be justifiable to hold andact on beliefs “by faith”, and if so, under what conditions? The coursefocuses on “theist” religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The courseinvestigates both arguments for God’s existence (cosmological and“design” arguments, arguments from miracles, from religious experienceand from morality) and arguments for God’s non‐existence (the Argumentfrom Evil and the Argument from Divine Hiddenness). The course thenproceeds to consider the thesis of the “evidential ambiguity” of God’sexistence, and investigates three attempts to respond to the ambiguity: (1)by emphasising subjectivity (Kierkegaard), (2) by appeal to “properly basic”beliefs (Reformed Epistemology), and (3) according to the modest fideismproposed by William James in his famous lecture “The Will to Believe”.Convenor: John BishopPrerequisite for PHIL 207: 30 points in PhilosophyPrerequisite for PHIL 327: any 30 points at Stage II in PhilosophyRestriction for PHIL 207: PHIL 327Restriction for PHIL 327: PHIL 207PHIL 209 / PHIL 329 Schopenhauer and Nietzsche (15 points)Semester 1We will initially study Arthur Schopenhauer’s transcendence‐orientedphilosophy. After describing Immanuel Kant’s views as background, wewill examine Schopenhauer’s claim that the core of the world is “Will”– an amoral, senseless energy. We will then consider Schopenhauer’s viewthat life is an essentially frustrating illusion, largely of our own making,and his prescriptions for other-worldly salvation in the universalisticexperiences of beauty, moral compassion and the minimisation of desire.We will then compare and contrast Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy oflife‐affirmation and health. We will examine his account of the therapeuticeffects of classical, theatrical tragedy, and will reflect upon hisunderstanding of the contemporary “death of God,” as this stands inconjunction with his own prescriptions for this‐worldly salvation inacknowledging the ideal of the superhuman, super‐healthy being, alongwith the underlying will to power and eternal recurrence of life’s events.Convenor: Robert WicksPrerequisite for PHIL 209: 30 points in Philosophy or EUROPEAN 100and 15 points in PhilosophyPrerequisite for PHIL 329: any 30 points at Stage II in Philosophy orEUROPEAN 100 and 15 points at Stage II in PhilosophyRestriction for PHIL 209: PHIL 329Restriction for PHIL 329: PHIL 209PHIL 210 Applied Ethics (15 points)PHIL 313 Special Topic: Applied Ethics (15 points)Summer School (PHIL 210 also repeated Semester 2)Philosophical analysis and discussion of contemporary moral issues, suchas abortion, euthanasia, reverse discrimination, the ethics of charity andour treatment of animals.Convenor: to be advisedPrerequisite for PHIL 210: PHIL 102 or PSYCHIAT 102 or HLTHPSYC 102or 30 points in Philosophy, or 30 points passed at Stage I in SocialScience for Public HealthPrerequisite for PHIL 313: 30 points at Stage II in Philosophy, or30 points passed at Stage II in Social Science for Public HealthRestriction for PHIL 210: PHIL 313Restriction for PHIL 313: PHIL 210PHIL 212 / PHIL 332 Philosophy of the Arts (15 points)Semester 2Considers a range of issues debated by contemporary philosophersconcerning the origins, function, definition, ontology, presentation,interpretation, appreciation, expressiveness, representational characterand value of art.

The aim will be to understand howKant protected science from sceptical attacks only by maintaining thatmetaphysical truth is unknowable. We will also consider how G. W. F.Hegel replied that we can, by looking into ourselves, indeed know theessential nature of the universe. Our focus will be on the metaphysicalnature of self‐consciousness, Hegel’s various formulations of the essenceof Christianity, his dialectical logic and his foundational belief thateverything in the universe is deeply and rationally interconnected.Convenor: Robert WicksPrerequisite for PHIL 220: 30 points in PhilosophyPrerequisite for PHIL 340: any 30 points at Stage II in Philosophy orEUROPEAN 100 and 15 points at Stage II in PhilosophyRestriction for PHIL 220: 280.312, PHIL 340Restriction for PHIL 340: 280.312, PHIL 220PHIL 260 / PHIL 360 Philosophy of Science (15 points)Semester 1What makes science a distinctive way of discovering knowledge aboutour world, whether natural, biological or social?

Systems of deduction,theories and models are introduced as objects of study, together withtechniques for reasoning about them. In particular, we will be concernedwith soundness, consistency, completeness, canonicity, decidability andaxiomatisation. The latter two topics will involve the study of some topicsin the theory of computation, such as Turing machines and recursivefunctions.

Some ofthe questions addressed bear on the foundations of mathematics,computer science, cognitive science and philosophy. What can we dowith logic that we couldn’t do otherwise? Should logical laws be regardedas rules for good thinking? Must we believe, as Classical logicians insist,that every proposition whatsoever is entailed by a contradiction?

Ifthere are duties of justice, what grounds these? Is distribution to assistthe global disadvantaged justified? If so, on what basis should distributionproceed? Are global taxes defensible? Is global equality of opportunity animportant ideal? Which restrictions on immigration, if any, are justified?Are protectionist policies in trade justified? Can globalisation be betterharnessed to assist the global poor? How can we better assist those inpoor countries who are trying to help themselves? In the latter part of thecourse we will consider issues concerning the basis and limits ofsovereignty and issues related to when (if ever) intervention is justified atthe international level. Some questions considered here include: Ismilitary intervention ever justified for humanitarian purposes (eg, in thecase of Rwanda in recent years?) Can preventive or pre‐emptive war everbe justified using the just war framework? Issues of global governanceand democracy at the global level will also be considered.Convenor: Gillian BrockPrerequisite: any 30 points at Stage II in Philosophy or Political StudiesFor more information about courses in 2010See www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/philosophyFor degree planning informationSee “Planning your study” beginning on p32.

PolishPolitical StudiesYou can include courses on Polish language and culture as electivesin your BA. POLISH 101 and 210 can be included in a major or minorin European Studies. You can also study Polish for the Diploma inLanguages (see p47) or the Certificate in Languages (see p50).The teaching of Polish is supported by the Polish community inNew Zealand and abroad, and is administered by the Department ofGerman and Slavonic Studies.Stage I coursesPOLISH 100 Beginners’ Polish 1 (15 points)Politics is about relationships that involve power, authority, influence,conflict, cooperation, selfishness and altruism. Politics is not just whatpoliticians do, although governments provide a large part of it. Oneof the fundamental questions is “who gets what, when and how?”Instruments of politics can include discussion, propaganda, persuasion,legislation, administration, threats, bribes and the use of armed force.The forms of politics vary from time to time and place to place.Areas of studyUndergraduate courses cover the four main strands in Political Studies.Often two or more will be covered in a single course.Polish | Political StudiesPOLISH 101 Introduction to Contemporary Poland (15 points)POLISH 102 Beginners’ Polish 2 (15 points)Stage II coursesPOLISH 210 Poland, Heart of Europe (15 points)Polish will not be offered in 2010.

Understanding the politicsof one country such as New Zealand can be a good introduction tocomparative politics. Comparative politics attempts to generalise acrosspolitical systems and asks, for example, whether there is support fortheoretical claims about the workings of electoral systems, patterns ofpublic policy or forms of government.The department also specialises in politics and the media. You cananalyse how politics is presented in television, radio, press and newermedia such as the internet. We have excellent audiovisual and printarchives that are used in teaching, and which you can draw on forpostgraduate research.In international relations, the actors are states, internationalorganisations like the United Nations, trans‐national corporations, as wellas non‐state actors. Courses on international relations look at issues likehuman rights, global justice and inequality, foreign and trade policies,security, international political economy, international law and thedevelopment of a global civil society.Public policy is about introducing students to the institutions and ideasintegral to understanding public policy. We study the design, analysis andevaluation of policy as well as the actors and institutions that influencethe policy agenda and policy outcomes. In addition, students cansupplement their studies with courses that focus on specific policy areas.There are also a number of public policy courses offered at graduatelevel. Students who choose to specialise in public policy will gain both theintellectual and practical skills needed to work in the field of public policy,as a bureaucrat, policy adviser or policy research specialist in private,community or non‐government organisations.Theory runs through all the strands of Political Studies. The areas oftheory that cut across the other strands of political studies are oftencalled the “analytical” and the “empirical”. “Normative” theory is thecore of the more specific study of political theory. Analytical theoristsseek to analyse the language that the actors themselves within systemstend to use, as when people talk of “rights”, or “sovereignty” or “tinorangatiratanga”. Normative theory seeks to judge the activities it isconcerned with. Should people have a right to welfare or to vote? Orshould women be treated in the same way as men? Studies in the historyof political thought at Stages I and II cover important thinkers, anddiscuss theoretical issues still alive today. At higher levels, you can takecourses in political thought which attempt to ground it historically, andexamine it rather more for its own sake than in the light of contemporaryinterests. Higher level philosophical courses concentrate less onintellectual context than on methods of analysis and on normative theory.In your first yearIn the first year comparative politics is represented by two courses, oneon New Zealand politics, and the other on the politics of the media. Youcan also choose from other Stage I courses representing the other threestrands: international politics, public policy and political theory (whichincludes both the history of political thought and political philosophy).2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 185

The fundamental questions we ask aboutpolitics – how should society be governed, what is justice and how shouldit be implemented between individuals, groups and states, where shouldthe distinction between public and private life fall – are all questionswhich have been defined for us by thinkers in an historical tradition inwhich we are the latest participants. The ways in which we ask and186| 2010 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

We are interested in how the individual relates to societyand how societies change across time. Sociology gives you an opportunityto understand yourself and your place in the world. You can examine andanalyse the full spectrum of human endeavour: popular culture and themedia, sexuality, ethnic identities, crime, religion, social justice, familiesand so on. Sociology is a comparative, critical and stimulating discipline.People trained in Sociology are valued in the marketplace for theiranalytical and research skills, and for their ability to offer innovativeinsights. Graduates from this department are currently employed in localand national government, media and journalism, social and healthresearch, marketing, policy analysis, business and law enforcement.Areas of studyThere are four broad groupings of topics in the Sociology curriculum.While courses are clustered under these headings, in many instances oneor more of these strands of scholarship intertwine in a single course, andyou are encouraged to move between these groupings and construct aprogramme that is of personal interest.Cultural sociologyThe focus here is on the world of image and representation, and this isexplored in a number of areas, notably the media.Applied sociology and social policySystems of governmental and wider community response to perceivedsocial problems characterise social policy. Health, illness and wellbeing isa special area of application.Power and resistanceSociety has established frameworks for regulating and influencing humanbehaviour, but these frameworks are always contested. Sexuality,procreation and intimate relationships are among the most importantexamples.Social Science for Public Health | SociologyFor timetables and to check availabilitySee www.auckland.ac.nz/ndevaFor more information about courses in 2010See www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/socialscienceFor degree planning informationSee “Planning your study” beginning on p32.

Resistance on thepart of workers and consumers is a central motif. The startpoint is fromThompson and Ackroyd (1995), that sociological interest in workersreflects a broader societal concern with recalcitrance. This concern wasexpressed through the labour process debate. As the influence of unionshas ebbed the focus of sociological enquiry has shifted, with Foucauldian,psychoanalytical and semiotic analyses coming to the fore. Resistanceincreasingly takes non‐collective forms (Gabriel, 1999). The second half ofthe course studies consumption. Work and consumption are linked by thewaged relationship. The perspective that underpins this section centreson Adorno’s (1991) notion of the cultural dupe and Lasch’s (1978) notionof narcissism; however, more active readings of consumer choice aresampled. Attention is paid to surveillance and simulation as they impactour lives and to (managerial) control and (worker / consumer) resistance.Convenor: to be advisedPrerequisite: 30 points at Stage I in Sociology or 15 points at Stage I inSociology with a minimum B+ passSOCIOL 210 Colonisation, Globalisation and Development(15 points)Semester 1From 1492 to Franz Fanon and Hugo Chavez, we look at a number ofnotable films and documentaries on the theme of the ‘West and theRest”, including the realities of colonialism and decolonisation; aid anddevelopment; globalisation / anti‐globalisation; IMF / World Bank /World Trade Organisation; the rise of the non‐governmentalorganisations and the anti‐capitalist upsurges of the new millennium.Convenor: Dr David CraigPrerequisite: 30 points at Stage I in Sociology or 15 points at Stage I inSociology with a minimum B+ pass or LATINAM 100 or SPANISH 103SOCIOL 216 Sociology and Crime: An Introduction (15 points)Semester 1, repeated Semester 2Most people believe they know what crime is.

Computers allow us to collect and storeinformation in quantities that previously would not even have beendreamed of. But raw, undigested data stored on computer disks areuseless until human beings can start to make sense of them. Statistics isthe human side of the computer revolution, an information science, theart and science of extracting meaning from data. Statistics applies toalmost any field, and some training in statistics can help make you moreeffective in almost any career.In your first yearIf you want to learn how to analyse data or fulfil Psychology prerequisites,you should take STATS 101 or the equivalent course, STATS 108. Theselead on to all further Statistics courses.There are two Stage I courses that can be taken either alone or togetherwith STATS 101. STATS 150 (Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics) is aboutthe uses, limitations and abuses of statistical investigation and statisticalinformation. It is concerned with the critical examination of the databasedarguments that pervade the media and public policy debaterather than hands-on data analysis. STATS 125 (Probability and itsApplications) is intended for students with a high performance in Level 3NCEA Statistics and Modelling, or equivalent. Probabilistic models areused in disciplines as varied as commerce and biology. They are criticalin the assessment of risk.Spanish | StatisticsYou should take STATS 101 or 108 if you intend to advance to Stage IIdata analysis. If you want to take a statistical theory course at Stage III,you should take either MATHS 150 in your first year and MATHS 250in a subsequent semester or, alternatively, MATHS 108 followed byMATHS 208. STATS 125 is also strongly recommended for studentsinterested in statistical theory.Constructing your major or minorA major or minor in Statistics begins with STATS 101 (or equivalent), andSTATS 125 for those students interested in theory.
