 You may need to interview someone from each school. Discuss with John when you set up the interview (and before you do it) - try to find someone in Maths and Stats to ask too. Ask Melissa Gough or Chris Wilson who the SME is within Maths and Stats.

Education

Anne Nelson (Unlicensed) note that this topic will need unpacking in to subjects. I was unable to do it without faculty input but having just spoken to the Dean he said that is staff will gladly help when the time comes.

Paul recommends input from: FHSS and Education, as this topic maps to programmes in both faculties. Further, we may need to add more subjects to this topic in order to map accurately to the programmes. This was discussed with the Dean yesterday and a note added to your tracking page.

Teaching

Anne Nelson (Unlicensed) note two language teaching subjects have been added to this - Second Language Learning and Teaching and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Paul Seiler (Unlicensed) has agreed with the subject owners that, if the new subjects don't fit with the current 'teaching' subjects (which all lead to professional registration) the content writer can choose to make a third topic for these other subjects.

Paul recommends input from: FHSS and Education, as we recently moved two subjects from the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies to this (previously) Education only topic.

English Literature

Mathematics and Statistics

Peter Donelan Ivy Lui Ginny Whatarau

Paul recommends input from: Science, VBS and FHSS. Logic, a subject that is “co-taught” by the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the School of History, Philosophy, Political Science and International Relations. Mathematics is a major in two UG degrees (Not sure if meeting this criteria qualifies a topic for inclusion on this list, but better to be safe than sorry).

International Relations and Politics

Public Policy and Government

Psychology

Paul recommends input from: Science, FHSS and Education. Education and Psychology is “co-taught” by The Faculty of Education and the School of Psychology, but administered by FHSS. Psychology is a major in two UG degrees (Not sure if meeting this criteria qualifies a topic for inclusion on this list, but better to be safe than sorry).

Science in Society

Rebecca Priestley

Delphine Mitchell

Sarah's notes about where she got to 8/01/2015: Science in Society is pretty much ready to go too. You'll have seen the email (see below) I sent to the subject specialists–they should be able to provide you with the clip I'm talking about. It isn't perfect but it's nice to have a bit more material for that subject as it's a bit sparse. There is also some profiles outstanding for this - again, might need to be written by comms advisors. There is no student testimonials - I have asked about this before so they know that we're after them, but as it's a minor subject they don't have ones that are dedicated to the subject.
