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.

Elements of this outline may be subject to change. The latest information about the course will be available for enrolled students in Canvas.

Class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.

For example, student feedback has been considered when decisions have been made regarding: updating the learning resources for the course, spreading out assessment workload as weekly chapter tasks, and changing assessment due times to be later in the day.
