Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

There is one 2 hour lecture and four, 1 hour tutorials (Labs) per week. You are expected to attend the lecture and only 1 of the tutorials (labs) per week. A sign up sheet for labs is in the Moodle site with a maximum of 15 students per tutorial (lab).

Information shared and discussed in this paper is beyond what is actually assessed. In-class activity and self-directed reading will contribute to the student’s knowledge base about Indigenous psychology and will build a firm initial foundation to understanding its relevance and application to contemporary psychological concerns. To competently complete tasks assigned for assessment, students will need to read broadly and pursue their own self-directed learning and writing outside of class time.

Lecture Timetable: The lecture schedule is below under Schedule and a PDF copy can be found in the Moodle page as well.

Video Conferencing: Lectures will be livestreamed to the Tauranga campus.

Panopto: Lectures will be recorded via Panopto and uploaded to Moodle after the lecture, for your consumption.

Tutorial (Lab) times: See schedule of weekly lab times. These will be face to face labs on campus to discuss the lecture material and readings for that week.

Moodle Participation: Online Moodle engagement is a significant part of the course. Here teaching and assessment resources will be stored for your access as well as communication between staff and students.
