PARTTWO

Tuakana Workshops
Students can sign up during Week 1 of the semester. These workshops run on
Wednesday and Friday (see Blackboard and SB Teach for times). They are on Level 1
of the Te Tumu Building, in the large dining room space.
The workshops are facilitated by senior students (tukana) and will provide extra
support, exercises, discussions and additional support with assessments. The workshops
aim to provide students with a comfortable atmosphere that they can study, work with
other students and gain guidance from senior students from within the department. You
may also want to use this time and the space to complete your readings or quiet study.
Course Readings
The prescribed text for this course is: Kaai, T. M., Moorfield. J. C., Reilly, M. P., &
Mosley, S (eds) (2003) Ki Te Whaiao: An Introduction to Mori Culture and Society,
Pearson Education, Auckland.

7
IMPORTANT BITS OF INFORMATION
A note to international students.
This paper has historically attracted a large number of international students because of
the high level of interest in learning about the indigenous people of Aotearoa / New
Zealand. We understand that you will have arranged travel in New Zealand around and
during the semester break. Please ensure that, if your arrangements clash with a piece of
assessment, to contact the course convenor as soon as possible. Also, please wait until the
exam timetable has been released before you make arrangements to travel home. The
final exam is administered by the Examinations Office and we (Te Tumu) are not able to
waive you from sitting the exam or provide special consideration. Please contact the
Examinations Office if you have any questions.
Presentation of Assignments in Mori
Te Tumu believes that it is important to encourage students to present their work in the
Mori language. We would particularly like to encourage those students who have been
educated at Kura Kaupapa Mori and other Mori-medium schools to express themselves
in their first language at the University of Otago.
When exercising this option, students must feel confident that their writing skills are of a
sufficient standard to complete the task. Such work will also need to follow standard
university referencing styles.
If you present your assignments in Mori, you must still follow all assignment guidelines,
except the technique of italicising Mori common nouns & defining Mori words.

COURSE WORKLOAD AND EXPECTATIONS

10

1.Preparation:
Students are expected to do the readings before the lecture.
2.Attendance & Note-taking:
Students are expected to attend lectures & keep good notes

4.Study Workshops:
Attend these to gain advice and study skills.
3.Worksheets & further readings:
Complete the worksheets & further reading to help you study

Preparation
It is essential that students have completed any necessary readings and set tasks before
attending lectures. Lectures will be presented on the assumption that students have
undertaken the necessary preparation and will already be familiar with aspects of the

11
lecture material. The lectures will then develop on these and provide examples and case
studies to help your understanding.
Note-taking
Students should maintain a good set of notes from lectures and readings. It will be
helpful for students to make notes from all texts read as this will certainly assist when
preparing assignments and studying for tests and exams. Students should also note the
appropriate page numbers of key ideas and quotes that are useful in their study. Lecture
notes will be provided before the lecture via the Blackboard facility.
Students who have an impairment that may hinder their ability to take notes in lectures
should contact the Note-taker Coordinator at the Disability Information and Support
Office to discuss their requirements.
Worksheets & further readings
Every lecture will have an associated worksheet. These worksheets will be available for
you to download from the Blackboard facility. Each worksheet will have a number of
questions which will guide you towards the main points of interest for each of the lectures
and help you prepare for internal assessments and the final exam this means no
cramming required at the end of the course. Occasionally, further readings will be
posted on Blackboard. Some of these may be attached to a piece of assessment, or they
are developing further understanding in a topic area if it is felt the course text was not
adequate in that area.
Study Workshops with a Tuakana
The study workshops will focus on worksheets and assessments; however students can
gain advice on any aspect of the course they are having issues with. The environment is
one of shared experiences; therefore, student participation is essential.

Return of Assignments
It is University policy that assignments must be marked, graded and returned to students
within three weeks from the date the assignment was due.
Students will be informed in lectures when assignments will be ready and when they will
be available for viewing on Blackboard. Please note that late assignments and those with
approved extensions will be returned three weeks from the date that they were submitted
(but at least a week before the next assignment of a similar nature).
Extensions, Late Work and Deductions
In order to obtain an extension you must contact the Erica Newman via email, at least two
days before the due date of the assessment. Except in cases of ill health supported by a
medical certificate, students must submit evidence that they have already done some
work on the assignment. Any work handed in after the closing date or after the date of an
extension is considered late.
Late work will have 5% of the 100% deducted each day including weekends that the
assignment is overdue.
Assignments without an extension will not be accepted more than 3 days after the
due date including weekends, except in cases of illness or other exceptional
circumstances beyond the students control. In these cases the student must see the
Course Convener as soon as possible with appropriate supporting evidence.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that those students who hand their work in on time
are not disadvantaged.
Final Exam
The final examination date is set by the University of Otago Examinations Office. If you
have any issues with the date of exam or believe you are entitled to special consideration
for the exam, please contact the Examinations Office: examinations@otago.ac.nz.

17

If you apply for special consideration due to impaired performance or absence from the
exam please note, due to the content of the exam, you will be offered the grade you
achieved OR the opportunity to sit a special exam. You will not be offered an aegrotat
pass or an adjusted grade, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
