Course Work. It is important for your own development that you become a responsible learner. This includes learning to manage your own time, as well as seeking information beyond what you are given in class. You will need to allocate at least 8 to 10 hours per week of self-directed, personal study and make a habit of doing this every week. We recommend you use a diary to plan and prioritise your learning. Poor time management can increase the pressure you experience when assessments are due. Falling behind on your assessments puts you at risk of not completing the programme. Being well organised and setting time aside for personal study will increase your chances of success! You should always read over a piece of work before you submit it and, check for spelling and grammatical mistakes. For each assignment or project, you will be given more specific guidelines. It is essential that you follow these guidelines, as they are there to help you. Please ask questions if you are unsure. Is student present? YES NO NO YES Has absence been for NO YES YES NO Was tutor able to contact YES YES NO Learning Support Manager & student decide best option for moving forward Was regional administrator able to contact the student NO NO NO 1st day non-notified absence 2nd consecutive day 3rd consecutive day Are absences putting student at risk of non-completion? Reach out to Emergency contact for wellbeing check Has student notified ahead of class non- attendance Is attendance at or above 80% NO Your success as an ākonga (trainees) depends on full and regular attendance of all classes. You should inform your xxxxxx (tutor) as soon as possible if you have problems with attendance and follow the Attendance Procedure shown above. In our experience, ākonga who do not attend all their classes have a very high risk of non-completion. Although we recognise that you may need to undertake part-time or over-time work, you are expected to attend all scheduled classes. As part of The Partnership Agreement above, you commit to attending all classes on time. Attendance at class is imperative; if you do not attend, you are unlikely to successfully complete coursework, or be able to sit and pass assessments. We’ll do everything we can to support your success, but you have to be here to enable us to help you to complete your qualification.
