The seminar requires the students to dedicate time for the individual research towards Presentation 1 and 2, as well as the final essay. It is therefore recommended that students start the research and literature review from the early stages of the courses, i.e. during the first 6 weeks of this course when all the lectures will be delivered. This will allow students to have higher interaction with lecturers for a positive exchange of opinions and ideas and to inform properly their research.
Coursework not received by the due date, and for which no extension of time has been approved, will receive a ‘DNC’ (Did Not Complete) for the Essay and zero grade for Presentations 1 and 2.

Academic Integrity
The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against online source material using computerised detection mechanisms.
Inclusive Learning
All students are asked to discuss any impairment related requirements privately, face to face and/or in written form with the course coordinator, lecturer or tutor.
Student Disability Services also provides support for students with a wide range of impairments, both visible and invisible, to succeed and excel at the University. For more information and contact details, please visit the Student Disability Services’ website http://disability.auckland.ac.nz
Special Circumstances
If your ability to complete assessed coursework is affected by illness or other personal circumstances outside of your control, contact a member of teaching staff as soon as possible before the assessment is due.
