Paper Description
This paper introduces students to the study of the arts. We start by looking at human creative expression in general, then move to storytelling. We'll be looking at the earliest forms of stories, myths, then we’ll investigate various folktales and begin exploring the structures common to all stories, before turning to more modern examples and media. Then we'll look at stories about the past, and how they are both similar and different to fictional ones.

This paper is taught through a mixture of prerecorded short videos, online activities and a weekly tutorial (either face-to-face or online).

Online Support
Moodle:
Moodle is the online space for students to connect with each other as well as with teaching staff outside of the face-to-face classes. Students will use the site to ask questions of staff, participate in online discussions, and complete selected learning activities. You can also find assessment instructions, submit your completed assessments, access feedback, and keep track of your grades there.
To access Moodle, sign into your university login and click on the “Moodle” link. Moodle will be your main source of information for the course.
Panopto:
Lectures will be recorded and the links to these recordings will be available on the Moodle page for this paper. The aim of recording classes is to aid in the further study and understanding of content, and as a revision tool. Class recordings do not replace attendance.
Studiosity:
Studiosity is an online tutoring service for students at the University of Waikato. It’s accessible via Moodle and offers personalised, live, online help from trained experts in two ways:
Writing Feedback: upload your work to get help with academic writing and literacy (such as structure, grammar and referencing). Available 24/7, you will receive your feedback in less than 24 hours.
Connect Live: chat with a subject specialist to get help with academic writing and literacy, study skills, maths, economics, accounting or statistics. Available 5.00pm – 2.00am Sunday to Friday.
