Course duration
The course will be conducted over a 13 week period that comprises 12 teaching weeks plus one exam week.  A typical teaching week will consist of 5 hours of lectures/ tutorials. Classes will be held at the following times:
 

  Monday 12.00 noon – 2.00 p.m.            Room R102

  Thursday      9.00 a.m. – 11.00 a.m.              Room R102

 
 

Study expectations

 
1.       Students taking this course are expected to attend all classes and complete all assignments on time. The course is progressive and cumulative in nature, with later lectures expanding on, and assuming knowledge of, material introduced earlier. Students who miss classes for whatever reason are expected to catch up on the material covered. It is their responsibility to seek out the lecturer or other students in the class to find out what was covered in their absence.
 
2.             The course will be conducted over 12 teaching weeks. There will be 5 hours per week class contact time, using a combination of readings and tutorials. Additionally students should expect to spend approximately 10 hours in independent study (reading, review, and assignment work) outside of class hours for every hour spent in class.
 
3.             To pass the course, students must achieve a minimum of 50% overall, with a minimum of 40% required in the final written exam. The assessment of student grade will consist of 60% contribution from coursework and 40% from the final exam.
 
4.             Students must not plagiarise. Plagiarism means presenting the work of another as one’s own work. It is an act of dishonesty which violates the obligation of students to act towards each other in good faith, reflects badly on the personal integrity of the student, and damages the academic integrity of the entire institution. It may take the form of word-for-word copying, or of paraphrasing another person’s work. It involves presenting the result of such copying for assessment as if it were the student’s own work. On some assignments it is acceptable to quote the work of others as long as the quotation is acknowledge and fully referenced as to its source. This should not normally exceed 10% of the total assignment.
 
          Any students found guilty of plagiarism or other forms of cheating will be referred to the disciplinary committee and will face possible penalties ranging from zero grades to suspension from AIS.
 
 
 
 
5.      During tests and examinations, no cell phones, watches or other electronic devices(whether turned on or off), and no written notes (whether written on paper or hands etc.) are allowed on your person, e.g. in pockets. If you do not want to hand over your cell phone, watch or electronic device do not bring it to the test/examination. Failure to do that will lead you to be called to Student Disciplinary Committee, where you may receive a zero mark and a demerit. The same applies to programmable calculators and all other devices where data can be stored and/or retrieved
 
6.       Students are expected to contribute to and actively participate in class proceedings, drawing on their prior reading, knowledge, and experience of the topics being studied.
 
7.       Students who withdraw from the course by the end of week 5 will receive the annotation WD (withdrawn) on their academic transcript. Students who withdraw after this time will receive an E grade (failure to complete requirements of course) on their transcript, which is treated as a failing grade.
 
 
Course content
The relevant chapter number of the text book is indicated for each topic. Students should read the relevant chapter before coming to class. In addition, other issues of current relevance will be advised in class.
 
Course assessment
The assessment for this course will be as follows:
                                         
1.       Mid-semester test                                  20 %
         2.       Presentation                        20 %
3.       Assignment                                            20 %
4.       Final exam                                             40 %
                        Total                                                    100 %
 
Final exam is a 3 hour written examination in week 13 covering the subject matter for the entire course. Students must gain at least 16/40 in the final exam and an overall mark of 50% to pass this course.

Attendance

 
International students are required by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to have 100% attendance, in accordance with the conditions of their full-time student visas. Legitimate absences (e.g. sickness) with documentary evidence (e.g. a doctor’s certificate) will be counted as meeting the attendance requirement.
 
In an environment where domestic student numbers are subject to strict government controls, the best way to guarantee an ongoing place in the programme is to attend 100%, work hard and pass all courses. Students who are poor attenders and poor performers risk losing their place in the programme.
 
Late submission penalties
 
Without prior permission from the lecturer, and/or a medical certificate, assignments handed in after the due date will incur a penalty of 5% (of the total possible marks) per day up to four days. After four days a zero mark will be recorded. If students have concerns about their ability to meet a deadline, they are advised to consult with the lecturer before the due date.
 
 
Teaching methodology
 

Material will be presented in class through lectures, videos, and assigned readings in the textbook and other publications. The lectures are intended to introduce to a topic, rather than equip students with everything they need to know.  A key factor in achieving a successful outcome is the willingness to participate in class discussions and to use multiple sources when researching each topic. Students should read the appropriate chapter/reading before coming to class. 

 
Students who find courses difficult are encouraged to seek free help from the AIS Study Skills Advisor, TamendiPranesh (Room M313, tamendip@ais.ac.nz, 8151717 ext 841).
