The transition from school toUniversityWhat’s different about University?At University you are treated as an independent adult. It’s important tobe well prepared academically, but you’ll also need to be self-motivatedand committed to University study. You need to take ownership ofyour own learning, and your independent study is just as important asattending classes.You’ll also need to be proactive and take responsibility for yourself. Thereare many resources and sources of help available, and we expect you toseek help when you need it. Information about many of these resourcesand support services is in this handbook.Your work each weekIf you are a full-time student you should regard University as a fulltimejob. Each 15-point course should involve about ten hours of workeach week. This includes classes (three or four hours per course) andindependent study (six or seven hours per course). See the sampletimetable on pg. 16.AttendanceAttendance at lectures and any other classes (eg, tutorials andlaboratories) is a basic requirement. If you skip lectures or other classes,or don’t adequately prepare for them, you will compromise both yourlevel of achievement and the benefit you derive from University study.Tutorials are just as essential as lectures, and you’re expected to attendboth.The First Year Experience ProgrammeThe Faculty of Arts’ First Year Experience Programme offers mentoringto all Year One students in the faculty. You are partnered with a studentmentor who will give you well-informed and timely support throughoutyour first year of University study. This partnership helps integrateyou into University culture and academic life so that you experience asmoother transition to University study.What is a mentor?Your mentor will be a senior undergraduate or postgraduate Facultyof Arts student who will introduce you to the University and ourexpectations of you. You can talk to your mentor about any issue involvingstudent life. Your mentor will also provide information about the studentsupport services on campus and how to use them.How will the First Year Experience Programme help me?The first year of University study can be very challenging as you attemptto balance the demands of study, work, family and friends. Havinga mentor for support could mean the difference between becomingoverwhelmed or developing the skills to achieve a balance.The First Year Experience Programme helps you to meet other studentstaking the same courses as you. You will also have the benefit of accessto senior students who may be completing a course of study thatinterests you. They are there to share their experiences with you, and youwill find them a valuable source of knowledge.University studyTutorialsAlthough they have a different format, tutorials are just as important aslectures.Tutorials are classes where a tutor takes a small group of students. Theyare not remedial or catch-up classes, but an opportunity to reinforceyour learning about the topics covered in lectures. Our data on studentattendance and pass rates confirms that participation in tutorials is anessential part of success at University.Working on your ownTaught classes are just one aspect of your learning.You will have hours or even days without classes, and making good useof this time is just as important as going to class. University teachingand learning is designed so that you spend time outside class workingindependently, either on your own or with others. This might involvereading and researching, preparing essays or assignments, preparing forlectures and tutorials, working in language laboratories, consulting tutorsor attending courses to improve your academic skills. You might chooseto work at home, or in the Library, the Information Commons or the ArtsLabs.How does it work?If you are new to the University, you will automatically be part of theprogramme and will be allocated a mentor. To help ensure successin your first year, we will track your attendance and submission ofcoursework. You will be contacted if you miss an assignment or fail toattend two or more tutorials. Your mentor will be available to discussyour situation and offer help.Your mentor will make weekly contact with you via email. You can alsocontact your mentor at any time for support and advice, or you canapproach one of the other mentors in the programme.For more informationContact:Carol Cameron, Manager, First Year Experience ProgrammeRoom 418A, Human Sciences Building, 10 Symonds Street (SymondsStreet level, with entry from the Arts Students’ Centre)Phone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 88491Email: c.cameron@auckland.ac.nzVisit www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/fye2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 15

Coursework and examsUniversity studyCourseworkAssessment proceduresMost undergraduate courses are assessed from both coursework and anexam.

Read the instructions for each course and follow them carefully.If you have any questions, ask your lecturer or tutor.Complete all courseworkYou must complete all the coursework that is set throughout thesemester; it will normally be counted towards your final grade. If youfail to complete coursework your results will be affected, as well asyour learning, and you may get a fail grade for the course. If you don’tcomplete coursework which is described as compulsory, you will get aDNC (Did Not Complete) fail grade.Some subjects have assessment procedures which allow for thediscounting of some pieces of coursework in favour of other (better)results. However, you can’t choose to do only the pieces of courseworkyou want, or only those which cover the material you know best.CheatingCheating in exams is a serious offence which is subject to disciplinaryprocedures.

That community is founded on shared principles:• trust• mutual respect• honesty• integrity• fairness.Dishonesty compromises not only the teaching and learning process, butalso students’ qualifications. The University therefore treats plagiarismand cheating in either coursework or exams as serious offences.Honesty in courseworkPlagiarism is a form of cheating. It is using the work of others andpresenting it as your own without explicitly acknowledging or referencingwhere it came from. This can include not acknowledging indebtedness to,paraphrasing from, or directly copying from, books, articles, the internetand other students’ work.18 | 2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

Youshould have made this decision by the middle of your second year; afterthat it can be difficult to change your mind without having to take extracourses. Depending on the courses you’ve already passed, you may beable to swap your major and minor, or turn your minor into a secondmajor, at the end of your second year.Requirements for a single majorCoursesAt least 9,including at least 4 at Stage IIIRequirements for a double majorCoursesFor each major:At least 8,including at least 3 at Stage IIIRequirements for a minorCoursesAt least 6,including at least 4 above Stage I*Points135,including at least 60 at Stage IIIPointsFor each major:At least 120,including at least 45 at Stage IIIPointsAt least 90,including at least 60 above Stage I*Choosing courses for your major / minorEach BA subject has a schedule (or list) of the courses which you cancount as part of that subject.

Tessa’s degree: a BA with a major and minorTessa is about to begin her BA and is not quite sure what to study. She goes to the Arts Students’Centre for some ideas. Together they fill in a degree planner to see how her degree might fittogether.I really want to get away from the same old school subjects anddo something different.Which subjects appeal to you? What sort of things are you interestedin?Well, I’m interested in the world around me – society andpolitics, I suppose. And I like discussing things that are a bitcontroversial.Some ideas could be Sociology, Political Studies and Philosophy. You’llneed another BA subject for your first year as well.I’d quite like to try learning a language – can I start fromscratch? I’d like to have a go at learning Italian.But what if I wanted to pick up a Stage I course in somethingelse in my second or third year? Can you only take Stage Icourses in your first year?No – that’s an idea a lot of new students have, but it’s not true. Youcan take Stage I courses in your second or third year as long as youdon’t end up with too many Stage I courses in your degree. Lots ofpeople take Stage I courses in their second or third year.Now let’s imagine I’m at the end of my second year. I could nowhave my major in either Political Studies or Philosophy, couldn’t I?Political Studies would be easier, because you’d have taken morecourses in that. You’d have to take five Philosophy courses in your thirdyear otherwise. You could do a double major fairly easily, though.Planning your Arts programmeYou certainly can start from scratch. Let’s put down a beginner’scourse in Italian – and then with a General Education course you’dhave the eight courses you need for your first year.OK, that’s my first year sorted! But what if I get to the start ofmy second year and I still don’t know what I want to major andminor in? Just say I couldn’t decide between Political Studiesand Philosophy.That’s not a problem – you’d still have time to decide which one wasgoing to be your major or minor. As long as you’ve narrowed it downto these two, you could keep thinking about it during your second year.In fact, if you wanted to continue with Sociology you could take a StageII course in that as well. At least half your BA has to be in coursesabove Stage I, so that course will help with that.Well let’s say I major in Political Studies and minor inPhilosophy. But why are you putting a Stage III course inPhilosophy into my degree planner?Because you have to have five Stage III courses overall in your BA, notjust the four you need for your major – although if we arranged thingsdifferently you could do all five in Political Studies.Tessa is a fictional character and these subjects are examples only.Stage I course Stage II course Stage III courseYear 1Year 2PoliticalStudiesPhilosophy Sociology Italian Film,Televisionand MediaStudiesGeneralEducationBA courses8 courses(120 points)8 courses(120 points)Year 38 courses(120 points)= major(9 courses –135 points)= minor(6 courses –90 points)BA total =24 courses(360 points)2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 29

Example 2: a BA with a double majorThis is an example only. Many patterns of study are possible.

And I’m really interested in Ancient History soI want to do that as well as History. But what if I enjoy all mysubjects? What if I get to the end of my first year and I knowI want to major in English, but I want to keep on with bothClassical Studies and Ancient History?That would actually be a good thing – it would leave your options openfor your minor or even a double major. You could take two Stage IIcourses in both Classical Studies and Ancient History.Is a double major the same as a conjoint?No, a conjoint programme is where you take two degrees together, likea BA and a BSc. A double major is where you major in two subjectsin your BA degree. Some students take a double major in the BAcomponent of their conjoint programme.Now let’s imagine that during my second year I decide I want adouble major in English with Classical Studies.So for my second year, it would not have been a good idea tohave assumed I wanted a single major in English and take lotsof Stage II English courses?No, it wouldn’t! Even if you’re doing a single major, it’s not a good ideato concentrate too much on one subject at Stage II. It probably rulesout the option of doing a double major. But even worse, you might noteven have enough courses for a minor in one of your other subjects.So you might have to take extra courses just to be able to graduate.What’s the difference between taking a subject as a single or adouble major?If you do a double major, you take eight courses in each major insteadof nine. And you take three courses at Stage III in each major insteadof four. But that’s the only difference. You still finish in three years, andyou still have to do any required courses for each major.Nick is a fictional character and these subjects are examples only.Looking at the plan we’ve drawn up, that would be fine.Stage I course Stage II course Stage III courseEnglishClassicalStudiesAncientHistoryHistoryGeneralEducationBA coursesYear 1Year 28 courses(120 points)8 courses(120 points)Year 38 courses(120 points)= (double) major(8 courses –120 points)= (double) major(8 courses –120 points)BA total =24 courses(360 points)30 | 2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

Planning your Arts programmeGetting adviceYou’ll need to consult both faculties for advice about your conjointprogramme. See the Arts Students’ Centre for advice about the BA orBTheol conjoint.How many courses to enrol inTotal courses per yearEnrol in a total of 135 points each year to finish in four or five years,depending on your programme (135 points is the equivalent of nine15-point courses). It may be possible to take extra courses in SummerSchool, or to take only 120 points each year and take one extra semesterto complete.The University limits how many courses you can enrol in per year and persemester – see pg. 10.BA courses per yearYou would normally take four or five BA courses each year. However, thenumber of BA courses you take in any given year may depend on thedemands of your other degree.Advice for first-year studentsYou need to be clear about what you want to study, and you should beprepared to major in one of the subjects you study in your first year.However, you should still use your first year to explore your interests andplan your enrolment to leave your options open for later years.In your first year you will usually enrol in a total of nine courses. Unlessyou have to give priority to courses for your other degree, you should takefour or five BA courses.Choose the two BA subjects which interest you the most from the list onpg. 23 and take two courses in each. (Both subjects should be availableas BA majors.) If possible, take a fifth course from a third BA subject.BA subjects and coursesChoose your subjects from the list on pg. 23 and your courses from thoseindicated in the “Arts subjects and courses” section of this handbook.Other courses, including those indicated in the “Theology subjectsand courses” section, may not be included in the BA conjoint (GeneralEducation is the exception).If you are taking a BA subject which is also available for another degree,be aware that there may be courses in that subject which are not BAcourses (eg, some MGMT and MUSIC courses). BA courses are indicatedin this handbook.Courses with G course codesSome courses are only available with a G course code. You may only takea G-coded course if you are taking it for General Education.The major or double majorThe BA conjoint must include one major subject or two major subjects(a double major) – see the information on pg. 26.The major for your BA and for your other degree must not be in the samesubject.Note that the BA conjoint does not require a minor.Courses above Stage IYour BA conjoint must include at least 150 points above Stage I, includingat least 75 points at Stage III.The Stage I allowanceIt’s very important not to enrol in too many Stage I courses. You can onlyinclude up to 120 points at Stage I (ie, eight 15-point courses) in your BAconjoint. Any Stage I General Education course you take is included inthis allowance of eight Stage I courses.You should not take General Education in your first year. It is moreimportant to study BA subjects so that you have as many options aspossible for your second year.We don’t recommend that first-year students take five courses (75 points)in their first semester at University, as this is too heavy a workload tobegin with.The diagram below shows the BA enrolment pattern we recommend foryour first year.BAsubject 12BAsubject 22BAsubject 3(if possible)1= 4 or 5BA coursesFor your second BA year you can then choose one or two subjects to takeat Stage II. If you take two subjects at Stage II, you should have a choiceof majors and also the option of doing a double major.Each conjoint combination is different. Your BA enrolment willdepend on what you need to do for your other degree and you may notbe able to follow the first-year pattern above. Get advice from your otherfaculty and work out how to meet the requirements for both degrees.Refer to the degree examples on pg. 34-36.The Stage III requirementThe overall Stage III requirement (five courses) is one more than you needfor a single major (four courses). You may take this fifth Stage III course inany BA subject, provided you have the prerequisites.The table below explains the requirement regarding advanced courses inthe BA conjoint.Stage I Stage II Stage IIICan take up to 120points at Stage I1 course (15 points)in General Education*Up to 7 BA courses(105 points)= 8 coursesat mostMust take at least 150 points above Stage I,including at least 75 points at Stage IIIAt least 75 points(5 courses)**= 10 courses at least,including Stage III requirement*There are some Stage II General Education courses.**This includes courses you take for your major.32 | 2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook

General EducationMost conjoint programmes include a total of 30 points (two courses) inGeneral Education – 15 points (one course) for each component degree.Planning advice for specific conjointsNote: the major for your BA and for your other degree must not be in thesame subject.When to take General Education for the BA conjointYou can take this course at any time. However, we recommend that youdo not take it in your first or final year of the BA conjoint. Refer to theadvice for first-year students on pg. 32.How to choose your BA conjoint General EducationcourseThe courses you can choose from depend on your conjoint programmeand the other subjects you’re taking.Visit www.auckland.ac.nz/generaleducation to find which courses youcan take. (When searching by degree, select your conjoint programmeand not Bachelor of Arts.)Enrolling in General Education (G) coursesGeneral Education courses have G course codes. See pg. 11 forinformation about enrolling in General Education courses.Some courses are only available with a G course code. You may only takesuch a course if you are taking it for General Education.If you have transferred from another tertiary institutionYou may be exempt from having to take General Education if youenrolled in a BA or BA conjoint before 2006, or depending on the numberof transfer credit points you’ve been awarded. See the Arts Students’Centre.BA/BComSome MGMT courses are BCom courses and not BA courses. You mustchoose your MGMT courses from those indicated in this handbook underEmployment Relations and Organisation Studies. Any other coursesare not BA courses and cannot be counted towards the BA side of yourconjoint programme.You may not major in both Management in the BCom and EmploymentRelations and Organisation Studies in the BA.BA/BE(Hons)Check with the Faculty of Engineering if you want to take Maths coursesfor your BA. You should not take Maths courses if their content overlapswith BE courses.BA/BHScYou should not take Social Science for Public Health as a BA major asthere are compulsory courses common to both degrees.BA/LLBIn your first year you take two Law courses and six BA courses (a totalof 120 points). You need to be especially aware that you can take only alimited number of Stage I courses. The BA conjoint can only include up toeight courses at Stage I (120 points), including General Education. Afteryour first year, you’ll only be able to take two more Stage I courses foryour BA.Planning your Arts programmeIMPORTANT• You cannot take a General Education course in a subject in which youhave previously passed a course, are already enrolled, or intend toenrol.• You cannot take both your General Education courses in the samesubject.The BA/LLB requires particularly careful planning – consult both facultiesbefore you enrol each year.BA/BMusYou may include up to 30 points from BA Music courses in your BAconjoint. BA Music courses are indicated in this handbook – any otherscannot be counted.General Education language coursesYou may not take Schedule H (Languages) courses for General Educationif you are, or have previously been, enrolled in a course with a languagecourse code. For example, if you have been or are enrolled in ITALIAN 111Italy on Screen, you may not take SPANISH 104G Beginners’ Spanish 1for General Education. The exceptions are Greek and Latin – if you areenrolled in Greek or Latin you may take another language for GeneralEducation.Language courses do not satisfy the General Education requirementif you have prior knowledge of the language (eg, as a native speaker,through formal or informal study, or through living with others whospeak the language). Enrolment requires submission of a LanguageCompetency Form (see pg. 11). If you have prior knowledge of thelanguage you may be declined enrolment or your enrolment may bedeleted at the discretion of the Head of Department.2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook | 33

The Diploma in LanguagesQuick factsTime to complete: you would normally takethe Diploma in Languages (DipLang) part-timeconcurrently with a degree. It is equivalent toone year’s fulltime study – the time you taketo complete will depend on how you structureyour enrolment.Points: 120Courses: 8 (each course is worth 15 points)Application closing date: 8 December 2011Highlights• If you want to study one or two foreignlanguages, the DipLang is an alternative tothe BA. You can combine language studywith enrolment in any degree (includingthe BA) and graduate with an additionalqualification.• One of the reasons the DipLang has beenintroduced is to help meet the demandof the business community for graduateswith language skills. Knowledge of anotherlanguage is useful in many careers. You canadd to your skills, distinguish yourself fromother graduates and enhance your careeropportunities.• Knowledge of another language and cultureenriches the study of many other subjects,and can be a considerable advantage forpostgraduate study and research.DipLang requirementsAlso see the study examples on pg. 39.Your DipLang MUST SubjectsCourses / pointsinclude:1. 120 points 8 15-point courses2.

Choosing your subjectsPlanning your Arts programmeYou are free to choose and combine any BA subjects. However, you will get more out of your study ifyou construct a coherent degree made up of subjects which complement and enhance each other.You can have a degree which fits together well and still enjoy freedomand choice. Before selecting courses for your first year, think about whichsubjects you might like to build into a major and minor. You are still freeto change direction at any point in your studies.How to choose your subjectsAsk yourself:• What am I interested in?• What do I enjoy doing?• What aspects of my studies interest me the most? What would I like toexplore further?• Do I want to put most of my energy into a subject I studied (anddid well in) at school, or shall I start something new? (Look at all thesubjects in this handbook before you decide.)• What are my goals for the future, and what skills and knowledge willI need?• A major in History+ a minor in Māori Studies or Social Science for Public Health• A double major in Anthropology and Māori Studies+ electives in English or Art HistoryAsian languages and culture• A major in an Asian language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)+ a minor in Asian Studies, History, Philosophy, Political Studies orFilm, Television and Media Studies• A major in Asian Studies+ a minor in an Asian language, History, Philosophy, Political Studiesor Film, Television and Media Studies• A double major in Asian Studies and an Asian language+ electives in Comparative Literature, History or Philosophy• What subjects and courses could I take to give my other subjects moredepth and context?Talk to the Undergraduate Adviser for each subject you are thinking of asa possible major to check that you are fully aware of what it involves andfor advice about which subjects would combine well with it.Building a coherent degreeThere are many different ways you can integrate your major and minoror double major. Many courses in different subjects cover complementaryareas and you can use these to develop a degree that fits together well.You could take these courses as part of a major or minor or as electives.Below are just some examples of the sort of subject combinations thatcould work well, depending on your interests. Bear in mind that studentsoften take unusual combinations very successfully.

Latin left us literatureand ideas which no educated person should ignore. Roman writers suchas Virgil, Cicero and Tacitus used Latin to its utmost capacity and wroteworks of enduring value. The modern European Romance languages (eg,Italian, French and Spanish) evolved from Latin, which also had a directinfluence on English.Areas of studyIn learning Latin you not only learn the language, but also how toanalyse and describe language. You will learn to read Roman literatureand understand Roman culture.Language Teaching and Learning | LatinBeginning your study of LatinBeginners can learn Latin from scratch.
