There is no study days associated with this course. The delivery of Nursing 735 requires students to utilise an individual learning contract to guide collaborative learning and education practice. The course coordinator will maintain contact with students throughout the semester as negotiated through the student’s learning contract and through regular online forums.  
This practicum course requires the student to identify a mentor from their practice area who can guide feedback about the education programme, ensuring that organizational priorities are maintained. The responsibilities of the student, mentor and course coordinator are explained in the course documents. 
Students are expected to participate in the online learning activity. Students will be randomly assigned to small groups, in preparation for the online verbal presentation. Throughout the semester, students will have an opportunity to receive formative feedback and to utilise reflective practice as they assess their effectiveness within the practice area.

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.

Similarly, research students must meet the University’s expectations of good research practice. This requires:

• Honesty - in all aspects of research work
• Accountability - in the conduct of research
• Professional courtesy and fairness – in working with others
• Good stewardship – on behalf of others
• Transparency – of research process and presentation of results
• Clarity - communication to be understandable, explainable and accessible

Students may be asked to submit assessments digitally. The University reserves the right to conduct scheduled tests and examinations online or through the use of computers or other electronic devices.

Feedback on taught courses is gathered from students at the end of each semester through a tool called SET or Qualtrics. The lecturers and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback and respond with summaries and actions. Your feedback helps teachers to improve the course and its delivery for future students. In addition, class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.

Student feedback indicates that deep meaningful learning occurs as they develop a learning programme.  Throughout the semester, students are encouraged to take advantage of online forums and discussion boards throughout their learning journey.  

Class representatives are students tasked with representing student issues to departments, faculties, and the wider university. If you have a complaint about this course, please contact your class rep who will know how to raise it in the right channels. See your departmental noticeboard for contact details for your class reps.
