Paper Description
Paper Structure
This paper is taught through lectures, laboratories and a dedicated Moodle page. The course endeavours to balance the needs of students enrolled in Hamilton, Tauranga and online. Please note that the covid-19 situation may make changes necessary prior to, and during, the A trimester. Changes will be notified via the Moodle page, so please ensure you regularly check announcements. Where possible, most (but not all) lectures will be presented face-to-face at the Hamilton campus and via online software to the Tauranga campus. All lectures will also be recorded. A few lectures may be provided as a pre-recording only, but this will be communicated ahead of time. All covid-19 protocols will be observed. We predict lecture rooms should have space for social distancing. However, this course will shift fully online if on-campus classes cannot be held safely or if the UoW changes its policies.
In the first week of the trimester, students will be asked for feedback on laboratories. At this stage, there will be an on-campus lab in Hamilton, an on-campus lab in Tauranga, and two online Zoom labs. With the Zoom labs students can attend either of the lab times available. Labs are not compulsory, but labs are the best place for students to seek assistance with their assessments and learning. Staff have limited time to help students outside of lecture or lab times. Signing up to the laboratory times can be done via the Moodle page once the trimester starts. If the campus is closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak, alternatives to the face-to-face lectures/labs will be provided and this will be communicated 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, or if other provision has been made under the Assessment Regulations. Students cannot apply for extensions or re-sits for the weekly Moodle quizzes. This course has a Final Exam (also delivered as a Final Moodle Test), which is compulsory to pass the paper. Students can chose either to sit an on-campus examination or to complete a Moodle assessment.
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
Reading the textbook is important for completing the PSYCH302 assessments. 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 may be a useful book to own for those wanting a career in the community sector.
There is currently one hardcopy at the Hamilton campus library (on desk reserve). The library also has an ebook, which only one user will be able to use at a time. The first 2 chapters are available to all students through the Reading List link on the PSYCH302 Moodle page.
The Hamilton campus bookshop currently has hard copies on the shelf priced at $111.96. Email: waikato@campusbooks.nz Phone (07) 856 6813, Website: https://www.campusbooks.nz/ Store Hours: Mon-Fri: 8.30am to 5pm. Books can be couriered to the Tauranga campus for free, or delivered to your door for an additional $8.00.
If you decide to purchase from websites (e.g. AllTextBooks, Fishpond, Book Depository, Zookal etc.) be aware that there can be delivery delays of up to 16 weeks, and that importing the book may incur a GST charge. Since the same textbook was used in 2021, there may be some 2nd hand copies for sale for those who get in quick.
