Attendance on campus is required for the test.
The activities for the course are scheduled as a standard weekly timetable.
Learning 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.
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.
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.
• Details about each component of the assessment will be posted on Canvas and announced in seminars. Make sure you are clear about what is required, when, and how to hand it in. If you are not sure, ask the instructor.
• All assignments that you hand in for assessment in this course must be your own original work done for this course. Assignments must not have been submitted for credit towards any other course or in any prior version of this course.
• All work must be completed on time and handed in according to the instructions. Late submissions incur a marks penalty that increases each day.
• The electronic version of your written assignment must be identical to the hardcopy handed it, and must be posted to Turnitin by the due date.
• Extensions are given only in very exceptional cases such as significant illness, accompanied by a doctor’s certificate. Back up your work frequently, as computer failure is not grounds for an extension.
• Written work must be properly referenced, using a consistent referencing style. See www.cite.auckland.ac.nz/ for guidelines.
• Your written work should also be written in clear, concise, grammatically correct English. Please make use of the University’s English language support resources if you need assistance with this – check the University website, including https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/on-campus/student-support/personal-support/academic-learning-support.html
***Plagiarism*** is a serious academic offence. If you are found to have plagiarized in your written work you will be subject to disciplinary action according to the University of Auckland statutes.
Plagiarism is using someone else’s ideas, argument or words without proper acknowledgement. Take care when you are quoting from source material – if you are using the same words as the source, these must be in quotation marks and the source referenced. If you are paraphrasing or borrowing the idea, then you need to indicate the source using a recognized referencing system.

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.
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.
Learning Continuity
In the event of an unexpected disruption, we undertake to maintain the continuity and standard of teaching and learning in all your courses throughout the year. If there are unexpected disruptions the University has contingency plans to ensure that access to your course continues and course assessment continues to meet the principles of the University’s assessment policy. Some adjustments may need to be made in emergencies. You will be kept fully informed by your course co-ordinator/director, and if disruption occurs you should refer to the university website for information about how to proceed.
Student Charter and Responsibilities
The Student Charter assumes and acknowledges that students are active participants in the learning process and that they have responsibilities to the institution and the international community of scholars. The University expects that students will act at all times in a way that demonstrates respect for the rights of other students and staff so that the learning environment is both safe and productive.
