ARCH9086: General Elective 10

This elective allows an individual to pursue an agreed topic with a member of academic staff, or for a group of students to pursue a topic proposed by a member of academic staff in a formal learning environment. 

For individual study arrangements this is an opportunity to develop independent study skills.

The unit is undertaken with an agreement between the student and a supervisor on a topic related to the supervisor`s expertise. 

The student will meet with the supervisor regularly to discuss progress. For group study arrangements the unit of study is available to engage in a topic that is organised by a member of academic staff.

This allows a member of staff to teach a topic of special interest or for a visiting academic to teach a subject related to their specialty.

Students will participate in lectures, tutorials, or other activities as needed to pursue the elective topic. 

Students will develop an understanding of a special topic through reports, projects, and/or tutorial exercises.
