C/7.2 Responsibility for teaching of units |
|||||||||
Where a course involves the establishment of a discipline base strongly applied to the profession for which the course prepares graduates, it is appropriate that the discipline base be taught by whichever school of QUT is recognised as most expert in the discipline. The application of the unit, however, is best taught by those in the school responsible for the course who have particular expertise in the professional application of the discipline concerned. When a school undertakes service teaching for another, the resulting EFTSLs (and associated resources) adhere to the area offering the service. The distribution of teaching between schools must be explicitly defined within faculties and submitted to the Registrar. Formal channels of communication should be set up and used by schools which are servicing and being serviced by each other. The head of school responsible for the course is responsible for defining the channels of communication. Disputes arising from the implementation of service teaching policy which cannot be resolved at the school or faculty level are to be referred to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, who may nominate an arbitrator. Following discussion with both parties in the dispute, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (or nominee) will assess the situation and determine whether the unit will be taught entirely by one or other faculty or, if not, in what proportion each faculty will contribute. The findings of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (or nominee) will be binding and will remain so until a significant change is proposed to the syllabus of the unit. |
