All internship placements must be approved by the Work Integrated Learning Coordinator, prior to commencement. |
| Note 2: | MAT10251 is recommended for students who wish to enrol in the Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours) after completing their degree. |
| Note 3: | This unit has a large proportion of group-work, however the determination of each individual's assessment grade is reflective of the individual student's engagement, input and progress within a particular assessment. |
