<p>This paper foregrounds the role of material assembly and up-close design. The ability to take design projects into greater degrees of complexity and viability, but also inventive richness, rests on your capacity to think with materials and to understand their creative joining in detailed ways.</p>

<p>This is a core design course. Teaching takes place in a studio setting, kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) with students typically working in groups of approximately 18 students per tutor and brief. Teaching takes place in 1:1 and small group tutorial settings, through assigned tasks (undertaken individually or as part of a group), through presentations, site visits, readings, film or video-viewings, and other participatory means. Students are expected to present work-in-progress to their peers, teachers and invited guests progressively throughout the semester and to engage in discussion of their own work and that of their peers.</p>

<p>This is a 30-point course, and as such, students are expected to invest 300 hours total across the semester into their Design Course. Over 12 weeks this amounts to approximately 25 hours per week. Of these 25 hours, 6 are undertaken in studio learning settings (2 x 3hr sessions) with the tutor present. A further 2 hours are undertaken in workshop and other formats. Students are expected to attend each of these sessions for the full duration (8 hours per week). The remaining 17 hours per week are required for self-directed and informal group study in support of the studio sessions, workshops and presentation events.</p>

<p>Falling from even low heights can cause serious injury. Climbing on chairs or tables in studios or in the Exhibition Studio is prohibited. If you require reaching something at height, please liaise with your tutor. They will instruct you on how to achieve this safely. <br> All site visits undertaken in design papers are subject to rigorously scrutinised and approved health and safety plans. Tutors will familiarise you with the requirements of these plans before o-campus trips are undertaken. Attendance on these trips is conditional on compliance with these plans.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Towards the end of each semester students are invited to give feedback on the paper and its teaching through a survey tool called SET Evaluations. Email invitations are issued to all students when the surveys are opened for response. The tutors and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback and respond with summaries and actions. Your feedback helps teachers to improve the paper and its delivery for future students. <p>Class Representatives in each paper also represent student concerns and offer feedback to the department and Faculty via the staff-Student Consultative Committee. Students have the opportunity of voting for class representatives at the beginning of the academic year.</p>

<p>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.</p><p>Similarly, research students must meet the University’s expectations of good research practice. This requires:</p><ul><li>Honesty - in all aspects of research work</li><li>Accountability - in the conduct of research</li><li>Professional courtesy and fairness – in working with others</li><li>Good stewardship – on behalf of others</li><li>Transparency – of research process and presentation of results</li><li>Clarity - communication to be understandable, explainable and accessible</li></ul><p>For more information on the University’s expectations of academic integrity, please see the <a href="https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/about-the-university/policy-hub/education-student-experience/academic-conduct.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Academic Conduct</a> section of the University policy hub.</p>

<p>In design papers, students are expected to utilise design precedents to advance their own designing. However, plagiarism is a serious infringement of academic integrity and this extends to outright copying of previous design work by others or images of their work. If reference is made to, or images utilised of, other design projects, a written citation acknowledging the original creators should be included. You will be instructed in this paper how to use precedents productively and creatively and how to avoid plagiarism in design.</p>
