6.3.2 Practicum

NOTE This is a group assessment. The University recognises that group work, when used appropriately, can be a valuable teaching strategy that contributes to students’ learning and the development of communication and teamwork skills. Group work refers to learning activities on which students’ work together to produce a report or complete a specific task.

Assessed group work must not contribute more than 30% of a students’ final grade. In all group work by students, safeguards will be put in place by the course coordinator to ensure that the withdrawal or lack of contribution of a group member does not disadvantage the rest of the group. The course coordinator will assist group members to resolve their conflicts.

Practicum assessments will consist of group work leading to an individual mark. Marae are not organised or run by any single person, but by the hapū and whānau, therefore this form of assessment is the most appropriate for this course. Further explanation will be provided during lectures.

The Marae practicum is intended to test the ability of the students to organise and run hui, perform the pōhiri, host manuhiri.

All students will be required to attend the practicum (assessment) hui. If a student is unable to participate in the practicum assessment, the student MUST
