Workload Expectations
This course is a 30 point course and students are expected to spend 20 hours per week involved in each 30 point course that they are enrolled in.
As an online course, you can expect 0 hours of formal lectures, an 16 hour tutorial or workshop, 160 approx. hours of reading and thinking about the content and 124 approx. hours of work on assignments and/or test preparation.
Digital Resources
Course materials are made available in a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas which also includes reading lists and lecture recordings (where available).
Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.
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 at 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.
If your personal circumstances significantly affect your performance, or preparation, for an exam or eligible written test, refer to the University’s aegrotat or compassionate consideration page: https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/academic-information/exams-and-final-results/during-exams/aegrotat-and-compassionate-consideration.html.
This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.
Student Feedback
At the end of every semester students will be invited to give feedback on the course and teaching through a tool called SET or Qualtrics. The lecturers and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback and respond with summaries and actions.
Your feedback helps teachers to improve the course and its delivery for future students.
Class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.
- The linked resources/reading list was very helpful. With so much literature now out there, having these lists was helpful in getting us started. The session on performing literature searches was helpful in giving us confidence to perform one for the assignments, as well as using the given texts.
- The online course material was very well structured and displayed on Canvas. The course coordinator was very supportive in answering questions along the way.
- The resources provided (reading list) were incredibly useful and appropriate.
- I felt the assessments were staged in a step wise way, with initially developing critical reflection skills, moving to personal reflection with appropriate literature review to a more unstructured creative larger piece that cleverly used peer review in a course held almost entirely online. I really appreciated the way each successive assignment has stretched me in different ways
