Course content
This course is delivered using a mix of face-to-face classes and online resources. In person attendance at scheduled times is required for laboratory classes and tests..
Lectures for this course will be delivered in person or pre-recorded and recordings of these will be available for students who need to attend remotely. Recordings of lectures will be available for preparation for assessment.
If you are unable to attend an in-person component due to exceptional circumstances, you should contact the course coordinator at the first opportunity, explaining your circumstances. Alternative scheduling or alternative assignments may be possible.
You can apply for an exemption by e-mail to the Course Coordinator, explaining why your personal circumstances prevent you from turning up for the lab. If your application is approved, the Course Coordinator will provide access to alternative learning and assessment items. The decision of the course coordinator can be appealed by writing to the Interim Associate Dean – Academic (Undergraduate), Polly Stupples (email: polly.stupples@vuw.ac.nz). If we are unable to offer a course component that requires in-person attendance, for example due to a rise in COVID-19 Alert Levels, all students will be exempted from the requirement to attend in-person and alternative learning and assessment activities will be supplied.
An exemption or late sitting the test or submitting an assignment/lab report may be given by e-mail to the relevant staff copied to the course coordinator, explaining why your personal circumstances prevent you from doing so at the scheduled time. We do not provide help after the deadline has passed.
