Learning Resources
The text for this course is the Course Workbook.
You will be tested on the contents of this workbook, anything given in lectures and any additional handouts. Each lecture contains further references to Bruce Biggs’ Let’s Learn Māori, although the teaching material is arranged in a different way.
This workbook is arranged with the full lecture notes for the topic(s) to be covered in each lecture, including exercises to be worked during the lecture time. The notes for each lecture are followed by a revision summary and review which will be covered in greater depth during the tutorial. There are also supplementary exercises to each lecture which are to be completed in your own study time. At the very end of this workbook are model answers to all the exercises given in the lecture and in the supplementary exercises.
This may be collected from the Arts Student Assignment Centre: Level 4, HSB Building from January 6th. Please collect your workbook before the first class as you will use it every day.
Workload Expectations
This course is a standard 15 point course and students are expected to spend 20 hours per week involved in each 15 point course that they are enrolled in for a summer semester (double what is expected in a regular semester).
For this course, you can expect a total of 22 hours of lectures, 16 hours of tutorial, 2 hours of tests. Additionally, per week students can expect 4 hours of reading and thinking about the content and 6 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
Well-being always comes first
We all go through tough times during the semester, or see our friends struggling. There is lots of help out there - for more information,
look at this Canvas page (https://canvas.auckland.ac.nz/courses/33894),
which has links to various support services in the University and the wider community.
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.
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.
