Knowledge of a Discipline
As an advanced unit emphasis is placed on more complex concepts on which to build on foundation units.
|
|
|
|
| 2 |
Communication Skills
External and internal students will develop their writing skills, note taking, critical thinking, reading, research and clarity of expression through essay writing and exam preparation. It is anticipated that all students will communicate effectively with staff, face to face, by phone, by email and/or on the Blackboard CE6 bulletin and discussion boards.

Global Perspectives
The essence of this unit is its global persective on stone artefacts. Artefacts are studied in a regional and global context. Artefacts are studied as a set of processes rather than banging rocks together.

Information Literacy
Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology @ UNE is a leader in delivering archaeology and palaeaoanthropology units in distance mode. To do this we make heavy use of electronic access to the literature and other material available through Dixson Library's online catalogue and on the world wide web and through the companion site on Blackboard CE6 enabling you to interact with staff and other students.

Life-Long Learning
This will be given effect in two ways. We hope that students will gain an interest and enthusiasm for archaeology and palaeoanthropology that will produce a life long overview of these historical science disciplines, even if only through reading popular sources such as magazine articles, and watching tv documentaries. Secondly, the study skills centred on critical analysis of data will be the basis of learning in any intellectual activity throughout life.

Problem Solving
Problem solving: Problem solving is integral to all archaeological and palaeoanthropological research, which involves hypothesis based research designs, as well as meticulous recovery and interpretation strategies. You will be exposed to the problem solving by consideration of the evidence that supports the interpretations presented in this unit.
|
|
|
|
| 7 |
Social Responsibility
Archaeology and Palaeoanthroplogy are inherently socially responsible disciplinces and students are imbued with this aspect of the discipline throughout this unit.

Team Work
Given that Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology at UNE is focussed on delivering high quality leraning experiences in distance education mode it is only possible to develop teamwork in a virtual environment.
