Workload Expectations

This course is a standard 30 point course.
Following University workload guidelines, a standard 30 point course represents approximately 300 hours of study.
During  a  typical  teaching  week  in  the  remote  teaching  and  learning  environment  there  will  be approximately  eight hours  of  studio  based  teaching.  For  the  12  teaching  weeks,  this  totals  to  96 hours. Since the course as a whole represents approximately  300  hours  of  study,  that  leaves  a  total  of  204  hours  (17  hours per  week)  across  the  entire  semester  for independent study, e.g. reading, reflection, preparing for assessments/exams, etc.

Other Information

Coursework and  Project Completion:
Students are required to attend all classes, complete each project and submit work for each assessment.
All work for assessment must be made in the Elam studios, work can not be submitted for assessment that has been done off campus without prior approval of the teacher and the course co-ordinator.

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.

Please  note:   FINEARTS102  is  coursework  -  there  are  no  options  for  aegrotats  or  compassionate  consideration    for coursework assessment. Only extensions can be granted - extension application forms can be found under "Files" in Canvas.

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.
