2 Welcome To The Sydney Summer SchoolDEcEmbER 2011 – FEbRUaRY 2012

the University of Sydney attracts the most promising students from the widest possible mix of cultures and backgrounds. Students travel from all over the world to take part in our intensive programs, held during the summer and winter breaks.

this year we are offering more than 120 undergraduate and postgraduate subjects from nine faculties. We will teach these subjects over three sessions at the Summer School from December to February, using a variety of methods (including online, face-to-face and offshore study). We also offer a shorter Winter School in July each year.

class sizes in the Summer and Winter School are generally much smaller than during semester because of the intensive nature of our programs. this means there are strict limits on places, so we advise you to apply early. Online applications for the Summer School open on 28 September 2011, and for the Winter School on 15 may 2012.

If you’re currently enrolled at an australian or overseas tertiary institution, an international student on a visitor’s visa, or a suitably qualified australian resident, then you are eligible to study with us. We invite you to apply online.

this handbook contains information on how the Summer and Winter Schools operate, how to apply, descriptions of subjects, scholarships and prizes offered and a guide to available accommodation. Note that extra subjects may have been added after this handbook was printed – for up-to-date details, visit our website at sydney.edu.au/summer

We look forward to welcoming you into our community of world-class learning and critical thinking in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.

Please contact us if you have any queries about our programs or need further assistance.

3WhAT Are The Summer And WinTer SchoolS?

the Sydney Summer School is a full-fee, intensive program offering high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate subjects from nine faculties. these subjects are the same as those offered in Semesters One and two, but are taught in an intensive program over summer.

three summer sessions are offered:

– Summer december (Session 1) commencing 5 December 2011

– Summer main (Session 2) commencing 5 January 2012

– Summer late (Session 3) commencing 16 January 2012

Some subjects run for six weeks, while others are shorter. Students can take a maximum of two subjects at the Summer School. See page 21 for a list of the available subjects.

a shorter Winter School is offered from 2 to 28 July 2012. You can take one subject only at the Winter School. Subjects are listed on page 59.

Note that additional subjects may be added to our program after the publication of this handbook, so please check the most recent list on our website: sydney.edu.au/summer

Why TAke A Summer or WinTer School clASS?there are many advantages to attending classes at the University of Sydney during summer or winter. You can:

– experience studying at one of australia’s most dynamic and progressive universities

– accelerate your academic career and finish your degree sooner

– repeat any subjects you have not successfully completed

– reduce your workload throughout the rest of the year

– devote your full attention to a single area of study

– take courses outside your current degree – add a Summer or Winter School subject to your English-language or Study abroad program

– use Summer or Winter School as an opportunity for a short international study experience

– combine study and travel by taking a subject that includes a field trip overseas.

High school graduates can attend classes to:

– sample a University program – get an early start on their degree.

Note: successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney.

Page 6: Summer School 2012 Handbook

4 Who cAn enrol?

all applicants must meet any prerequisites for the subject(s) in which they wish to enrol.

People who are eligible to enrol include:

current students – Students currently enrolled at an australian or overseas tertiary institution

– Offshore international students who want to come to Sydney just to study at Summer or Winter School – note that these students must travel on a visitor’s visa (not a student visa).

other suitably qualified applicants – australian residents whose educational qualifications would gain them admission to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated (‘associated’ means it counts as one subject for that degree).

Students completing the hSc in 2011 – Students who are currently studying towards their HSc, who gain an ataR that will qualify them for entrance to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated.

Please note: if you enrol for Summer School before receiving your ataR and your score ends up being too low for admission to your chosen subject, we will refund your tuition fee. Please notify us by 30 December 2011.

HSc students may enrol for one subject only, from those indicated as ‘open to HSc graduates’ (see page 64).

Page 7: Summer School 2012 Handbook

noT-For-crediT STudymembers of the public and current students can also take interest-only subjects (known as ‘audit’ subjects) that will not be assessed or credited towards a degree.

In this situation:

– you do not undertake any summative assessments (such as assignments that count towards a result), although you may undertake some formative assessments (such as in-class quizzes)

– you may not credit the subject towards an award course at the University of Sydney (but you may apply for ‘advanced standing’ in the form of credit points which will count towards the requirements for an award course).

Subjects available as audit subjects are listed on page 57. Please note that students enrolling for credit will be given preference if places are limited.

Notes: – Successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney.

– The University reserves the right to withdraw subjects before the start of the Summer or Winter program.

PrerequiSiTeS Some subjects require you to have completed prior study. If you do not satisfy these prerequisites and still wish to undertake the subject, you need to seek written permission from the relevant department. You can make this request online at the time of your application.

Note that approval to undertake a subject without the prerequisite does not guarantee you a place in that subject.

AcAdemic crediT

university of Sydney studentsIf your Summer or Winter School subject is allowed in your current degree course and you have satisfied the prerequisites, it will appear on your student record and academic transcript.

If you are not currently enrolled, or if your Summer School subject cannot be added to your current record because of course rules, you will be enrolled as a Summer School non-award student. Non-award subjects will appear on your academic transcript.

Postgraduate subjects may not be attributed to undergraduate degrees.

Students from other institutionsIt is your responsibility to obtain written confirmation from your home institution to show that the Summer or Winter School subject you plan to take will be credited (and at what credit-point value) to your degree. We strongly recommend you obtain this confirmation before enrolling in the subject.

It is also your responsibility to ensure that your enrolment is correct and your progress within your award course is in accordance with the requirements (our Senate Resolutions) for that award. While we make every effort to provide advice and information, the onus is always on you to ensure your award course requirements are met.

Students from other institutions taking a Summer or Winter School subject may apply to Student Records (level 3, Jane Foss Russell building) for a transcript.

“One of the best things about Summer School was that my mathematics lectures began at 9am rather than 8am – a rare luxury! also, because the school is held over summer, when campus isn’t overrun by huge crowds, the atmosphere is really relaxed, peaceful and carefree.”

AnhS2606 The ciTy oF rome: hiSTory And lAndScAPe6 credit points

Assumed knowledge: ancient Roman history (Republic and Empire) will be a distinct advantage.

“the city, stick to the city, and live in its light” – (cicero). this unit will explore the rich history of Rome’s urban landscape from the middle Republic (c.200 bcE) to the early fourth century cE. We will examine the ways in which the physical city interacted with and even affected the political, religious and cultural life of the Romans and how the great monuments of Empire were eventually destroyed, recovered and reinvented by later ages. this program consists of a three-week residence in Rome and includes structured walks and site visits.

AnhS6901 AncienT rome: SPAce And PoWer6 credit points

Assumed knowledge: ancient Roman history (Republic and Empire) will be a distinct advantage.

throughout the Republic and Empire the public spaces of Rome were political capital. First triumphant generals, then emperors used them for advertisement, persuasion and coercion of a heterogeneous and massive population. this course explores the politics of space in classical Rome, how different individuals interpreted the needs of their times in different ways and how they responded to the city populations at different times. can the history of the built environment show us new aspects of an individual’s principate and relationship to the population of Rome?

Note: Both of these subjects involve a residential component in Rome and incur associated travel costs. Please contact the unit coordinator for details of travel costs and availability of places.

“the classical Rome Summer School allowed so many people to learn Roman history in a unique and unforgettable way: the city of Rome itself was our textbook. both postgraduate coursework students and undergraduates were eligible to study for credit, and our bursary system helped to defray at least some of the cost. It was the first time most of the participants had been to Rome. three weeks of intensive residential school gave them a familiarity with the city as well as the material we studied. We came, we walked, we learned history!”

underGrAduATedAAe2005 designing with colour 16 credit points

the aims of the unit are:

– to make participants aware that any design decision that involves a physical material involves a decision about colour, and the consequences of this fact. this also applies to the design of digital environments.

– to present participants with research based information about colour and associated topics that can be used in design. this information falls into three main areas. the first relates to the basics of colour vision and includes the structure of the world of colour we experience, colour mixing, colour measurement and specification. the second area deals with relationships between areas of colour and focuses on colour contrast and colour preference and the relationship between contrast and preference. the third area is concerned with the limits on human information processing and how this will affect the response to the number of colours used in a colour design.

– to demonstrate to participants how that information can be used to understand experiences associated with specific examples of environments and the particular physical attributes of the examples associated with the experiences.

– to teach participants basic skills in using the image processing program Photoshop.

– to have participants use those skills and their knowledge about colour experience in colour design exercises that form the basis for the assignments and the assessment in the unit.

Page 27: Summer School 2012 Handbook

dAAe2006 designing with colour 26 credit points

Prerequisite: DaaE2005

Participants are presented with the results of the extensive research into affective responses to colour. these affective experiences can be divided into three main areas. these are first the warmth or coolness of colours, second whether colours are exciting or calming, and third the potency of colours and colour harmony.

the results of this research are related to the colour model developed by the Swedish colour Institute to allow the use of the research results in the development of colour designs.

as with the other units in this series participants are expected to understand this material and to know how it can be used to analyse the experiences associated with specific examples. this is facilitated by the detailed analysis of examples as a part of the unit content.

deSA1004 designing with Surfaces and light6 credit points

Without light we cannot see. We live in a world that does not contain visible objects unless light is reflected off them. therefore, an important part of the way we experience the real world results from the way in which light and shadow interact with objects, surfaces, our eyes and the brain. consequently, the quantitative and qualitative aspects of light and its potential manipulation in design need to be studied. therefore, the unit deals with the following: (1) properties of light (2) interaction of light and surfaces (3) designing with daylight and (4) role of the eye and the brain in the interpretation of response, control and meaning.

the architectural design process often involves decision-making, regarding the exterior and interior surfaces of a building that not only encloses a space but also influences the viewer. these surfaces make up both the external forms of buildings and define the spaces within the building through the way they interact with light. However, in making the design decisions about the physical properties of surfaces, a designer is also determining how people will experience these environments.

For students, this unit introduces them to knowledge about important aspects of the way we experience our built environment and how this knowledge may be used in designing. Participants in the unit will demonstrate their understanding of the knowledge presented and the way that it can be used to understand our experience of the environment by finding and analysing their own environmental examples.

ArhT6934 The eighteenth century: Art, Text, Film6 credit points

Assumed knowledge: General understanding of European history in the Eighteenth century; basic knowledge of art history, film studies and/or literary analysis.

this unit examines social, cultural, historical and aesthetic connections between the visual arts, texts and films related to the long Eighteenth century. We will consider key works of art, architecture, fashion, memoirs, collected letters and literature from the period, first in terms of their original contexts, and then as visual and narrative devices through which contemporary issues have been explored in Hollywood and European films.

ArhT6940 editing the moving image6 credit points

In this course we consider editing not just as one of the many aspects of film style, but also as the basis for asking fundamental questions about the cinema in general. While groups of

moving images edited together form larger continuous wholes they also maintain their identity as discontinuous parts. Indeed, we might think of editing as an important thread in cinema history tying aesthetic speculation to the evolution of technology. From the very first attempts at assembling separate strips of film in the 1890s, to the exciting French and Soviet theories of montage of the 1920s and 1930s, the ‘invisible’ continuity of classic Hollywood, the European cinema of the 50s, 60s, 70s as well as the american documentary film, we examine a range of important examples of filmmakers’ engagement with the problem of editing.

this unit of study analyses two areas of law which have a significant impact on the daily

laW

Page 51: Summer School 2012 Handbook

practice of journalism. both of these areas of law relate to the personal interests of private plaintiffs and the legal recourse such plaintiffs may have against media outlets. the tort of defamation, which protects a plaintiff’s reputation, is a well-established cause of action which notoriously has a “chilling” effect on what the media publishes. by contrast, direct legal protection of privacy against invasions by the media is a rapidly developing area of law in australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the European Union.

this unit of study provides a detailed examination of the principles of defamation law relating to liability, defences and remedies. It also examines how different common law legal systems are developing direct legal protection for individuals’ privacy against intrusive media coverage. this unit of study provides a thorough doctrinal analysis of defamation, privacy and breach of confidence, as well as placing these areas of law in their broader historical, international, comparative, social and cultural contexts.

lAWS3457 Private international law B6 credit points

Prerequisite: One year full-time law degree study

Private international law is the part of local or municipal private law which is concerned with questions which contain a foreign element i.e. a relevant connection between a fact or party and a foreign legal system. For example, private international law issues will require consideration if a question arises in New South Wales concerning the distribution of the property of a person who died domiciled in France or the validity of a mortgage of shares in a New York corporation or the recognition of the dissolution of a marriage by a Norwegian court.

In seeking to develop your understanding of the international dimension of private law and your appreciation of the fact that many legal questions which arise in everyday life are not confined within one legal system, this unit of study will address the following topics:

– personal connecting factor (domicile, nationality, residence)

– renvoi and the incidental question – transactions involving immovable property (e.g. land, intellectual property rights) and movable property (eg ships, aircraft, artworks, shares, contractual rights)

– devolution of property on death (succession); – marriage validity – dissolution and annulment of marriage, including the recognition of foreign dissolutions and annulments of marriage.

GeoS1003 44 introduction to Geology6 credit points

this is the gateway unit of study for Human Geography, Physical Geography and Geology. Its objective is to introduce the big questions relating to the origins and current state of the planet: climate change, environment, landscape formation, and the growth of the human population. During the semester you will be introduced to knowledge, theories and debates about how the world’s physical and human systems operate.

the first module investigates the system of global environmental change, specifically addressing climate variability and human impacts on the natural environment. the second module presents Earth as an evolving and dynamic planet, investigating how changes take place, the rate at which they occur and how they have the potential to dramatically affect the way we live. the third module focuses on human-induced challenges to Earth’s future. this part of the unit critically analyses the relationships between people and their environments, with central consideration to debates on population change and resource use.

hPSc2100 The Birth of modern Science6 credit points

modern culture is a culture of science and modern science is the outcome of a historical process of 2,500 years. In this course we investigate how traditional knowledge gradually acquired the characteristics of ‘science’: the social structure, contents, values and methods we are familiar with.

We will look at some primary chapters of this process, from antiquity to the end of the seventeenth century, and try to understand their implications to understanding

contemporary science in its culture. Special emphasis will be given to the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, which is often described as the most important period in the history of science and as one of the most vital stages in human intellectual history.

hPSc2101 What is this thing called Science6 credit points

Philosophers of science aim to define what distinguishes creationism from evolutionary theory, or astrology from astronomy. they give reasons why we can believe that today’s theories are improvements over those that preceded them and how we know that what we see and do in scientific practice reflects the nature of reality.

this course critically examines the most important attempts to define the scientific method, to draw a line dividing science from non-science, and to justify the high status generally accorded to scientific knowledge. the philosophies of science studied include Karl Popper’s idea that truly scientific theories are falsifiable, thomas Kuhn’s proposal that science consists of a series of paradigms separated by scientific revolutions; and Feyerabend’s anarchist claim that there are no objective criteria by which science can be distinguished from pseudo-science.

Page 56: Summer School 2012 Handbook

this unit of study also explores contemporary theories about the nature of science and explores ideas about the nature of the experimental method and concepts such as underdetermination, the nature of scientific explanation, theory confirmation, realism, the role of social values in science, sociological approaches to understanding science, and the nature of scientific change.
