Students are urged to discuss privately any impairment-related requirements face-to-face and/or in written form with the course convenor/lecturer and/or tutor.
Other assessment rules
If you fail to do at least one of the lab activities, you will receive an INC grade and will have to take attend and participate in the lab session/s the following year.
Academic integrity
The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting his or her learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the world-wide web. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against electronic source material using computerised detection mechanisms. Upon reasonable request, students may be required to provide an electronic version of their work for computerised review.
All students enrolled at the University of Auckland are required to complete a compulsory Academic Integrity course, usually in their first semester/year of enrolment. The University of Auckland’s full guidelines on procedures and penalties for academic dishonesty are available here.
Actions shared/based on previous feedback
We decrease the content and made it more organised and structured.
The requirements for laboratory 1 are reduced, while the deliverables in laboratory 2 are maintained but with higher weighting.
Lab sessions will be managed better this year.
There will be a field trip this year in Rosedale Landfill.
Electronic copy of coursebook will be available to students.
The class will also have two exciting and very engaging guest lecturers who have decades of experience in environmental management and engineering.
