In this section, module summaries are arranged in code-number
order. For each module, a summary* is given with details set out in the following
format:
2 credit points at level 1 involves a total time commitment of 64 hours;
4 credit points at level 2 involves a total time commitment of 96 hours; and
6 credit points at level 3 or 4 involves a total time commitment of 160 hours.
EFTSL# An EFTSL value for a unit
of study (module) represents the study load for that module. A study load for a
module is expressed as a proportion of the standard study load for one full-time
year of the course of study of which the module forms part. The aggregated EFTSL
values for modules undertaken by a full-time student doing a
standard study load for one year of a course of study would normally add to 1.0. For this course at Tabor this is equivalent to 24cps per semester and 48cps
in a full year. To calculate the EFTSL of a module, you will need to note its
cps value shown in brackets after the module name. Most level 3 modules have a
value of 6cps (EFTSL=0.125). Therefore the normal full-time load is 4 modules
per semester or 4 x 0.125 = 0.5 x 2 semesters in the year = EFTSL total of
1.
# is Equivalent Full-Time Student Load. It
relates to FEE-HELP calculations and is only relevant to courses and modules
taken level 3 and level 4 only.
The EFTSL for modules in this course is as follows:

Contact hours
Generally the listed number of contact hours refers to face-to-face time in
on-campus sessions. This may include class, seminar, tutorial and workshop time.
Field Education is not normally included, although actual client contact hours
in counselling modules may be. In some fourth/fifth year modules, the amount
of contact time is not strictly specified and a minimum contact time followed
by a plus sign [+] indicates that the listed number of hours plus a variable
amount of additional contact time are likely to be included. Explanatory notes
are added, as necessary. In addition to taking the time required to meet the
requirements of individual modules, students are expected to participate in
regular worship/chapel times.
Duration
The duration stated is the normal time-frame over which a module is presented.
Most modules can also be presented over a different time-frame, e.g. as intensives.
Some modules that normally take two semesters may be available more intensively
over one semester.
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Prerequisites indicate the knowledge, understanding and skills that a student
enrolling in a module will be assumed to have previously acquired. Co-requisites
indicate work to be done concurrently with a module. The listed prerequisites
or co-requisites normally apply. However, in special circumstances, such as recognition
of prior learning for listed prerequisites, or with special permission from
the Module Coordinator, a student may be permitted to take a module without
fulfilling the stated prerequisites/co-requisites. Occasionally, it is recommended
that modules that are not essential prerequisites are taken before a particular
module. Where this is the case, these modules are listed under prerequisites,
but qualified by the words “is/are recommended”.
Summary of module content and other key information
A summary of the purpose and content of each module is given here. Depth and
breadth of coverage of content, learning outcomes and objectives, bibliographies
and assessment procedures vary according to the level at which a student is
studying. These details are provided in the module worksheets that are provided
for enrolled students.
Alternative module names and other details
Various other details are included at the end of the module summary, when
necessary.
