Workload Expectations

This course is a standard 15-point course.

A typical semester including the study period totals approximately 15 weeks. On average, students are expected to spend 10 hours per week in each 15-point course that they are enrolled in.

For this 15-point course you should expect to commit 48 hours to delivery of the course. You can also reasonably expect to commit approximately 100-120 hours to independent learning. This may include reading (and more reading), note-taking, face-to-face and/or online discussion, writing, engaging in collaborative group work, problem solving, undertaking practical tasks, reflecting on learning, accessing learning and study resources, and assignment, test preparation and completion.

Lectures will be available as recordings. Other learning activities including tutorials will not be available as recordings.

The course will not include live online events.

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.

Things you said you found most helpful for your learning
Relevance of the assignments to teaching practice and how the assignments supported students in planning to incorporate te reo Māori into their practice
How organised the Canvas site was, and how easy it was to work through content at home
Things you said you found most challenging for your learning
Aspects of learning online, or being unwell/COVID the most challenging
i.e. Understanding the assignments, it was just difficult to understand what was expected from each assignment.
There were comments about zoom and wanting to have other options for online communication / collaboration (I had set up discussion areas, which were quite underused, so maybe they can be more explicitly signposted next time?)
Changes we will implement in response to your feedback
Have a to do list for each week – particularly when in lockdown.
Reflect and assess wording and clarity of assignment requirements.
Reflect on open book assessment. Is it needed?

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 for potential plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct, using computerised detection mechanisms.

Class Representatives

Class representatives are students tasked with representing student issues to departments, faculties, and the wider university. If you have a complaint about this course, please contact your class rep who will know how to raise it in the right channels. See your departmental noticeboard for contact details for your class reps.

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.
