Paper Description
Paper Structure
This paper is taught through lectures, laboratories and a dedicated Moodle page. What is outlined here is an initial plan for delivery, and in the first week students will be asked for feedback on delivery modes. The course will need to balance the needs of students enrolled in Hamilton, Tauranga and online. For the initial plan, I am proposing that where possible, most (but not all) lectures will be presented face-to-face at the Hamilton campus and video-conferenced live to the Tauranga campus. All of these lectures will also be recorded using Panopto. There will be a few guest lectures that will be pre-recorded, but this will be communicated clearly at the first lecture and via the Moodle page. All laboratories will be delivered via Zoom, which means that students can attend any of the lab times available (rather than there being separate Hamilton, Tauranga or online labs). Signing up to the laboratory times can be done via the Moodle page once the trimester starts. If there is another COVID-19 lockdown, alternatives to the face-to-face lectures will be provided, but this will be communicated clearly to students via Moodle.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
TO PASS THIS COURSE STUDENTS MUST… Obtain a total pass mark for all assessment of 50% or more. The due date for the Essay will be varied only if an extension is given in writing by the convenor or the teaching assistant for the paper, or if other provision has been made under the Assessment Regulations. Students cannot apply for extensions or re-sits for the online tests.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 70:30. The final exam makes up 30% of the overall mark.
Required and Recommended Readings
Required Readings
The required text is below.
Riemer, M., Reich, S.M., Evans, S.D., Nelson, G. & Prilleltensky, I. (2020). Community Psychology: In pursuit of liberation and well-being (3rd edition). Red Globe Press - Macmillan.
Please note that students need to read the 3rd edition published in 2020. The earlier editions (2005 & 2010) are quite different. A lot has changed in the world, and a younger team of authors have led the writing of the 3rd edition. This new edition is a useful book to own for those wanting a career in the community sector. It will be difficult to complete this course without accessing this required book.
There is currently one hardcopy at the library (which will be on desk reserve). The library has a restricted budget, but may purchase one more hardcopy. If the library obtains an ebook, it unfortunately may only be able to be used by one user at a time. The first 2 chapters of the textbook are available via the Reading List link on the Moodle page. The Hamilton campus bookshop price for a hardcopy is $112.95. Email: waikato@campusbooks.nz Phone - (07) 856 6813, Store Hours: Monday to Friday – 8.30am to 5pm. Books can be couriered to the Tauranga campus.
If you decide to purchase from websites such as AllTextBooks, Fishpond, Book Depository, Zookal etc... be aware that there can be delivery delays, so it is good to order early. Further, importing the book may lead to an additional GST charge.
