Additional Course Outline Information

Academic integrity

Honesty and integrity are important qualities for teachers. Students must maintain good character through the programme, including time in university-based study and professional practice in schools. They must act in ways consistent with the UC Student Code of Conduct and the Code of Professional Responsibility for teachers.

Also, students need to be familiar with the risks of plagiarism and how to avoid these. Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. The UC Library has useful information on plagiarism and how to avoid it - see Library link.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all scheduled course sessions and actively engage with online and workshop course content to meet the learning outcomes of the course. Students with multiple attendance issues may need to re-enrol in the course to meet the attendance requirements. Students are expected to notify lecturers via email prior to explain any absences. A medical certificate or supporting documentation may be required. The course lecturer will require evidence that they have actively engaged with the course content by completed and submitting alternative tasks when sessions have been missed due to absences.

Evaluation

Teaching and the course will be assessed through the regular use of UCTL evaluative instruments.

Grade moderation

Work is assessed and moderated by course lecturers.

Late submission of work

Work handed in after the due date with no extension granted is considered late.

Late work will be accepted for marking up to one week (7 days) after the due date. The maximum mark that can be received for late work is a C-. Lecturers reserve the right not to mark work handed in more than a week late, and no work will be accepted after assignments have been returned.

Other specific requirements

All work submitted in this course would be completed using APA format and a high standard of academic writing is expected.

Requests for extensions

Requests for an extension should be made in writing to the course coordinator in advance of the due date (e.g. email request). Normally an extension would be for a few days and no more than 2 weeks following the published assignment due date.
Extensions need to be applied for and are not granted automatically. Applications for extensions need to provide a reason and students may be asked to provide evidence (e.g. medical certificate). Extensions will not normally be granted because of pressure of university study, e.g. several pieces of work being due around the same time.

Resubmissions

A resubmission is permitted where work for an assignment received a failing (D) grade. One resubmission is allowed for each assignment; however, no grade higher than a C- will be awarded to resubmitted work. Work that is to be resubmitted will normally be due one week after being returned to the student unless other arrangements are requested and granted by the lecturer or course coordinator.

Special Consideration of Assessment Items

Special consideration of assessment items (Aegrotat) are not available for this course and all assignments must be completed.  Where circumstances mean that students cannot submit assignment work on time, they should apply for an extension to the assignment due date.  Where an extension may be granted for an assessment, this will be decided by direct application to the Course Coordinator (e,.g by email in advance of the due date) and an application to the Examiners Office will not be required.  

Applications for special considerations for late discontinuation should be submitted via the website -
see https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/special-consideration/how-to-apply/

For more information see Special Consideration Regulations.

Course Website

As well as attending classes, it is essential that all students regularly access the course Learn site and UC student email account. All course information such as the course kaupapa, notices, assessment information, required and recommended readings, audio recordings of some lectures, and other teaching resources etc. will be available on this site

Where to submit and collect work

Students will be expected to submit their assessments via the online assessment system in the Learn class site by 11.59pm on or before the due date. Assignments are automatically sent through Turnitin to check for Plagiarism on submission of assignments.

It is the responsibility of the students to check their Internet access and ability to submit their work via the online system.  Any technical difficulties should be notified well in advance of the due date so that assistance can be provided or alternative arrangements can be negotiated.
