Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is not legislation. It is an example/template entry from a university undergraduate handbook showing how a course description (specifically for Astrophysics ASTR1001) would appear. It describes course logistics including lecture hours, prerequisites, corequisites, syllabus topics (solar system formation, black holes, cosmology), and assessment methods. This is administrative university material, not a statute, regulation, or legislative instrument.

EXAMPLE: An entry in the Handbook might be as follows:

Astrophysics ASTR1001 (6 units) Group A

(Semester and year)

36 lectures 24 hours tutorials and practical sessions.

Prerequisites: PHYS1101 and mathematics to at least the standard of MATH1013.

Corequisites: PHYS1201 and maths at least to the standard of MATH1014.

Syllabus: This course is designed for students who wish to study modern astrophysics at a level beyond most popular books. It covers the formation and evolution of the solar system, extra-solar planets, the formation, evolution and death of stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes, galaxies, cosmology, expanding space and the Big Bang. A feature of this course is guest lectures on cutting edge astrophysics by world famous researchers. Students wishing to specialize in astrophysics should take this course.

The topics covered in the ASTR1001 lecture course include: The Formation of the Solar System, Planets Beyond Pluto, Planets around other stars, Stellar Evolution and nucleosynthesis, Star Death: Black Holes, Neutron Stars and Supernovae, Galaxies: their puzzling properties, The Expanding Universe, Introductory General Relativity, The Big Bang, The Early Universe, Microwave Background and Galaxy Formation.

Proposed Assessment: 6 assignments distributed throughout the semester.

In this case, the underlined words would not form part of Orders, but are included for information only (nor are they underlined in the Handbook).
