Quality Assurance of Subjects 2004
The major outcomes of the Quality Assurance Scheme in 2004 for the units administered by the Department of Zoology are summarized below.

 

Biology 11OF  Organisation and function of cells and organisms
The response to the questionnaire indicated a continued endorsement of the high quality of presentations by lecturers most of the time and the value of practical laboratory classes.  The lecture notes on the web were considered particularly good.  The introduction of a weekly tutorial (for the Animal Structure and Function lectures) was appreciated by many students. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Biology 11AD Animal Diversity
Students generally find the subject matter interesting, and the consensus is that the subject is well taught, with lecture and practical classes being truly integrated.  Learning outcomes are considered successful.  Most students felt that the workload for this subject was appropriate and that support material assisted in understanding the subject.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoology 22ENT Entomology
QAS was not undertaken in 2004

 

 
Zoology 21AE Animal Ecology
QAS was not undertaken in 2004

 

 
Zoology 22VMP Vertebrate Morphology, Evolution and Comparative Physiology
The subject exposes students to the real correlation between theory, animal structure and practical experimentation.  Most students were of the opinion that the practicals complimented the lectures, that the notes provided were useful and staff involved with the unit were helpful.  While many students valued both the physiology and morphology components of the unit, a number would have preferred to opt for one over the other.

 

 

 

 

 

CBE211C Issues in Conservation
Overall assessment of the unit was favourable and no significant deficiencies were revealed.  Following student 'written responses' a handbook is to be prepared and greater cross referencing of lecture content will assure greater integration of the various components.
