Attendance is required at scheduled activities including lectures and workshops to complete components of the course.
Lectures are taught live (either in person or via zoom) with a recording made available on Canvas as soon as practical afterwards.  Other learning activities including workshops and tutorials will not be recorded.
The course may include live online events for teaching and learning components of the course. Depending on the University policy at the time, this can include Lectures, workshops, tutorials, seminars, and group discussions. 
Attendance on campus for the final exam is dependent on University Policy and requirements. It is likely that your exam will be written using Inspera exam technology. There may also be provision for you do complete the examination onsite at the University.

The activities for the course are scheduled as a standard weekly timetable.

Taught courses use a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas to provide students with learning materials including reading lists and lecture recordings (where available). Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.

Using the University’s learning management system, Canvas, you can log into the course site for TFCBUS 92F. There, you will be able to access all official course information and course policies, follow your week-by-week Workshop Preparation tasks, and sit MCQ tests.
Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.
The Workshop Preparation learning resources that are accessible online each week through Canvas will include set and recommended readings, lecture, workshop, and some additional tutorial slides, video clips including lecture recordings, assessment instructions, and an online weekly quiz that counts towards your final grade.
There is no assigned textbook for this course. Rather, the course Talis reading list within Canvas provides links to a range of readings that collectively aim to cover all of the topics in this course. While not having a set text can take a while to get used to, it also ensures you are not paying for a text where content is not completely covered in this course. Instead, learning resources have been specifically selected to grow the knowledge and perspectives that will help you flourish in this course. Some of these readings will be selections that have been digitised from a range of current business, management, economics, and marketing textbooks. Other readings will include case studies and articles selected to develop your appreciation for the difference between academic journals and the popular business press.

You may copy the course content for the purposes of private study or research, but you may not upload onto any third-party site, make a further copy or sell, alter or further reproduce or distribute any part of the course content to another person.

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.

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

For more information on the University’s expectations of academic integrity, please see the Academic Conduct section of the University policy hub.

Elements of this outline may be subject to change. The latest information about taught courses is made available to enrolled students in Canvas.

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. Where tests or examinations are conducted online remote invigilation arrangements may be used. In exceptional circumstances changes to elements of this course may be necessary at short notice. Students enrolled in this course will be informed of any such changes and the reasons for them, as soon as possible, through Canvas.

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.

Students feedback from previous semesters have asked that they have the flexibility in team make up so they can switch teams between  assessments. While other students from the last semester have stated they would like to stay in the same team for each team assessment. The course has built flexibility into the team work so it can cater for both student preferences. It is your responsibility to join a team and commit to producing good outputs to be submitted for grading. Teams who typically perform best are those that have a committed and consistent core membership that can quickly adjust to welcoming and working with new members. 

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.

This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.

The Student Charter assumes and acknowledges that students are active participants in the learning process and that they have responsibilities to the institution and the international community of scholars. The University expects that students will act at all times in a way that demonstrates respect for the rights of other students and staff so that the learning environment is both safe and productive.
