Workload Expectations

Für einen 15-Punkte-Kurs an der UoA werden durchschnittlich 10 Std. Arbeitsaufwand pro Woche angesetzt. Dies beinhaltet die 4 Stunden Unterrichtszeit; die restlichen 6 Stunden verwenden Sie auf Vor- und Nachbereitung des Unterrichts: Vokabel- und Grammatiklernen, Referats- und Prüfungsvorbereitung und die Arbeit am Semesterprojekt. Gerade im Sprachunterricht ist es wichtig, dass Sie die wöchentlichen 10 Stunden auch für den Kurs verwenden, denn Paniklernen in letzter Minute wird Ihnen besonders im Bereich Vokabeln und Grammatik nichts nützen.

Learning Continuity

In the event of an unexpected disruption, we undertake to maintain the continuity and standard of teaching and learning in all your courses throughout the year. If there are unexpected disruptions the University has contingency plans to ensure that access to your course continues and course assessment continues to meet the principles of the University’s assessment policy. Some adjustments may need to be made in emergencies. You will be kept fully informed by your course co-ordinator/director, and if disruption occurs you should refer to the university website for information about how to proceed.

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.
