This course is a standard 15 point course and students are expected to spend approximately 10 hours per week on it, as follows:
Listed below are (a) an overview of the overall course structure and (b) a brief week-by-week breakdown.
Lectures |
[Sample text: This course uses a blended learning approach. Most lectures will be pre-recorded videos. It's essential to keep up with lectures on a week-to-week basis. But the pre-recorded format gives you the flexibility to watch and study these lectures at a time that suits you and at your own pace. Alongside pre-recorded videos, we will have a number of live in-person lectures. These will be interactive, allowing you and your classmates to ask questions about course content and assignments. Attending these in-person classes will be a valuable way to embed your learning in the course and to stay connected as part of a learning community. These are important factors in student success. The dates for live lectures are shown in the weekly schedule below {coming soon}. If there is significant demand to increase the number of these in-person classes, we may be able to add further sessions to the schedule, subject to room and staff availability. Live lectures take place only in the weeks specified in the week-by-week overview below and always occur on a XX from XX:XX in XXX (click here to locate this venue). If a two-hour lecture sounds daunting, please be reassured that we have a break in the middle to stretch our legs and refresh our brains! Pre-recorded video lectures will be posted weekly here on Canvas (under 'Modules' in the navigation menu). |

Tutorials |
Tutorial times and venues vary, depending which one you have enrolled into. You will need to check your own timetable information via SSO. Please note: tutorials commence in week X because they are designed to follow on from the previous week's lecture. ⚠️ Regular tutorial attendance and active participation are key factors in student success. ⚠️ Tutorials will not be recorded Important: please attend the tutorial you are enrolled in. If you realise you would prefer to be in a different tutorial to the one you are enrolled in, you will need to change your enrolment officially via SSO. We can't accommodate students making informal shifts between tutorials. In extenuating circumstances, you may be able to ask permission from a GTA to attend a different tutorial session in a specific week to make up for a missed class. But this will likely only be possible once we are several weeks into the semester (and even then, only as a one-off). Remember, if you're not sure how to find your tutorial room, you can look it up on this campus map. |
Office Hours |
Check out our Ngā Poutoko | Meet the Team page for details of staff office hours (which vary across the week). There are options for attending office hours in person or via Zoom. 🤨 Wondering what the heck an "office hour" is? Why you might attend one? Whether you need to be there for the whole hour or not? |
Self-Directed Study |
You are responsible for managing your own time so that you can complete weekly activities, independent readings, and assignment preparation in a timely fashion. Some self-directed activities will be specified for you under the weekly modules. But you will also need to schedule time to prepare adequately for forthcoming assignments. In order to succeed well in this course (and to get the most from it!) you are also expected to spend time on independent reading and research related to weekly topics. This will help you develop the depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding required to succeed in university-level studies. |
