This is an advanced language subject for honours students in Indonesian. The level of study, content, and assessment in the subject will be determined by the Coordinator after placement testing and/or consultation with the students. Students will either be placed in an appropriate stream of advanced language study, a customised course of study, or if deemed necessary they will be recommended to take alternative subjects from other Schools that would be significantly relevant to their thesis research.
