Course Notes

Class Norms/ Expectations:
Attendance-Participation: Regular class attendance is expected. The classes are made up of 14 sessions. Students are required to attend at least 70% of classes (10/14 classes). Failure to attend more than four sessions without a valid excuse will directly result in subject failure. It is expected that students contribute to class discussions, participate in classroom experiential activities, discussions and evaluations of video’s.
Late/ Make-up Work Policy: Without a valid reason (e.g. medical certificate for an illness, death in the family), late assignments can be submitted and incur a 5% mark deduction for every day the assignment is late. Extensions are granted only in exceptional circumstances and need to be discussed with the lecturer beforehand. It is not possible to make-up work for an assignment that has not been submitted.
Re-grading: The re-grading of assignments is not possible.
Use of Mobile Devices: Mobile phones have the potential to disrupt concentration and therefore it is preferred that their use is limited to the breaks. In emergency situations, calls can be taken outside of class without disrupting the lecture.
Student Recording of Class: Lectures can be voice recorded for personal use.
Academic integrity including collaboration and plagiarism: It is expected students will complete their academic work with maximum ethical precision. Copying, plagiarism and similar academic violations may place both the subject and student enrolment at risk.
Special Accommodations: Notify your lecturer of your situation and special accommodations beforehand. We will endeavor to create solutions as circumstances permit.
