TAIKURA

During 2015, a new quality management system, named Taikura will be progressively implemented.

Taikura:

 means the heart of the tree, symbolising a strong heart, which enables a tall, strong tree with good fruit thus good, strong policies leading to successful students.

 is the Quality Management System for institutions under the governance of the Council of WelTec and Whitireia Community Polytechnic.

 provides the foundation to guide the development and operation of the governance, academic and business policies, rules and procedures.

Taikura identifies the following key policy principle areas: 1. Te Tiriti o Waitangi

2. The Learning Environment 3. Evaluation and Improvement 4. Quality Management

The Academic Manual within the Quality Management System contains policies, regulations and procedures that affect students. Those most likely of interest to you as a student are:

A1-R1 Academic Statute A3 Enrolment

A4 Learning and Teaching A5 Student Support A6 Results and Awards

The Academic Statute provides staff, students and applicants with the regulations that apply to the way programmes are run from enrolment to assessment, results and graduation. Policies which relate to students are available for your reference at:

http://www.weltec.ac.nz/SH/Generic/POLICIES.pdf

WelTec has two documents that help us provide the best learning environment possible:

 Student Code of Conduct

 Commitment to Learning

The Student C ode of Conduct sets out the standards and principles for WelTec students in order to maintain an atmosphere and environment that encourages learning and effective partnerships by treating all people and the campus with respect and consideration. It specifies minimum standards and the consequences if these are not met.

The Commitment to Learning sets out how we meet the principle that Learning is based on the concept of ako, a respectful reciprocal relationship that nurtures and sustains the learning relationship between WelTec and its students. As part of Taikura, the following Commitment to Learning document outlines the principles of commitment and engagement required between WelTec staff and students in order to achieve learning success.

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

You need to become familiar with the assessment procedures for your courses and this programme. The overall programme procedures are given below. Course specific assessment procedures and requirements may also be noted in Course Outlines.

Please note that all activities that contribute towards your final course grades, and therefore your qualification completion, are known as assessments (or more precisely summative assessments). Your tutors may use many different types of assessment activities in your courses.

Academic Honesty and Assessment Integrity The Academic Statute part 4 requires that you:

 make yourself available to undertake all summative assessment items at the time and place stipulated by the teaching staff responsible for the course

act with integrity (honesty) during assessments. You are expected to:

 Submit material that is your own original work

 Collaborate only when permitted

 Acknowledge contributions from other sources by using the APA reference format (failure to do this correctly may be regarded as plagiarism)

 Keep written and electronic work secure to prevent others from accessing and copying work

 Understand the definition of academic dishonesty and the consequences of breaching the regulations (see A4-P8 Academic Dishonesty procedures). WelTec conducts assessments in the context of Taikura - Commitment to Learning, within rules set out in the following regulations and policies:

(16)

Wellington Institute of Technology - 2015 HV4175 Programme Handbook February 2015

Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 16

 A1-R1 The Academic Statute o Assessment

o Aegrotat Circumstances

o Challenging Assessment Decisions o Assessment Results and Course Grade o Academic Appeals

o Supervised Assessment Regulations o Results and Grade Methods

 A4 Learning and Teaching

 A6 Results and Awards

If you are approached by any person or website offering to assist you with essay writing or to complete assessments for you, please contact your tutor or send an email to the Associate Head of School as soon as possible. Do not agree to let other people do your work for you. Assessment provides the opportunity for you to receive feedback on your learning, and for tutors to track your progress. It is only through genuine learning and assessment that your qualification will have credibility and value.

You may ask your tutors at any time about the quality-assured status of the assessment activities you are asked to complete.

Assessment Rationale

Any other conditions will be noted as they apply to the assessments for that course.

Format of Assessments

Please check your Course Outline for a marking/assessment schedule to follow to assist you to meet the requirements of the assessment.

If you require any further assistance contact your tutor and/or Learning Support tutors. Practical Assessment

Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 17

Theory Project:

The Certificate in Patisserie theory project consists of three parts. Each part is designed as underpinning knowledge of lessons and topics covered during the programme.

Assessment Cover Sheets

All paper-based assessment you submit either in person or by post, must have a completed Cover Sheet of which there are two versions:

 When it is your own submission

http://www.weltec.ac.nz/SH/Generic/SF020_Assessment_Cover_Sheet-Student.pdf

 When you are submitting as a member of a group (only one cover sheet required – all need to sign)

http://www.weltec.ac.nz/sh/generic/SF023_Assessment_Cover_Sheet-Group.pdf You need to complete all parts of the form, including the declaration, before submission. It is highly recommended that you follow this paper based submission process even if you are invited to make assessment submissions via email.

If your course advises you to use the online Turnitin portal for assessment submission, then there is no need to submit a Cover Sheet. Please refer to your course outlines, and the section “Submitting Assignments” below for more information.

Submitting Assessments

It is essential that you meet the assessment submission deadlines notified in your Course Outlines' assessment schedules - unless you have pre-arranged for an extension with your tutor.

Some assessments may have time-related criteria attached. Your Course Outline informs you of these particular assessments, and the reasons for the time criteria. Lateness, absence or early departure from these assessments may carry specific penalties.

To submit assessments in te reo Māori or New Zealand Sign Language you must advise the Associate Head of School within 10 working days of beginning the course.

To receive special assistance to undertake an assessment, please call (04) 920 2476 or email ability@weltec.ac.nz for provision of this support. You will need to state the nature and type of assistance required.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 4. Turnitin®

As part of the promotion of a culture of academic scholarship and honesty at WelTec, some courses require all students to submit their assessments to Turnitin, an originality checking system. Turnitin compares your submitted assessment against a database of existing text from many sources, including the internet and submissions by other students. Turnitin then generates an originality report identifying any potentially unoriginal content. Information

(18)

Wellington Institute of Technology - 2015 HV4175 Programme Handbook February 2015

Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 18

provided in the report may be used when an assessor wishes to verify the academic honesty and originality of the work you have submitted. Your submitted assessments, once analysed, also become part of the Turnitin database.

If a course uses Turnitin, you will be provided with more information and instruction on its use. For courses that do not use Turnitin, you are still required to ensure your academic honesty.

Any detected academic dishonesty is subject to being investigated following the procedures for Academic Dishonesty.

Extension before the Course End Date

To request the submission of an assessment after the notified due date, but before the end of the course (the course end date), you must submit Request for Extension Before Course End Date A4-F510, prior to the due date. You must state the reason (one of illness, injury or exceptional circumstances) for requesting the extension.

You then submit the request form to your tutor, who may decline the request, or approve the request and negotiate a new submission date/time.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 4. Extension after the Course End Date

To request the submission of an assessment after the notified due date and after the course end date, you must submit Request for Extension After Course End Date A4-F511, as soon as possible and not later than 48 hours before the assessment due date. You must state the reason (one of illness, injury or exceptional circumstances) for requesting the extension. You then submit the request to the Associate Head of School, who may approve an extension for a period of no more than 10 working days after the course end date, where there are valid reasons.

Where there are extenuating circumstances, the Associate Head of School may recommend an extension of more than 10 working days to the Board of Studies.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 4. Unarranged Late Submission

Where work has been submitted late without an approved extension, your initial assessment attempt is deemed to have occurred.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 4. Further Assessment Attempts

In practical competencies, reassessment is available upon payment of the cost of materials needed for the reassessment. Students are entitled to two reassessments. Further

reassessments may be available subject to availability of equipment, staff and materials. Students may resit the City and Guilds International Diploma in Patisserie principles examination at the specified time. There is a fee payable.

• If you are late, fail to attend or unsuccessfully complete an assessment you will be required to do a re-sit.

(19)

Wellington Institute of Technology - 2015 HV4175 Programme Handbook February 2015

Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 19

• A re-sit fee of $50.00 applies to all practical and theory re-sits.

• Re-sit fees are paid at the Student Hub/Student Information Office. Then take the receipt to the Technicians Office for food to be ordered.

• Food will not be ordered without re-sit payment received one week prior to the re-sit. • NO payment – NO re-sit

• Watch your class timetable for re-sit dates and times.

• Practical cookery assessment rules and dress code also apply to re-sits • Be early and be ready! Have a work plan and recipes.

Further assessment attempts may be limited by the type of assessment or by the number of attempts permitted per assessment, course, level or programme.

Further assessment attempts may involve either:

 Improving a previous submission, where the tutor considers that, with suggestions for improvement but no further learning time, you are likely to achieve a pass result.

 Submitting a new, similar but not identical assessment, where the tutor considers that you require further learning time. The new assessment covers the entire scope of the original, not merely those parts you did not complete successfully in the previous submission.

Within five (5) working days of the release of the assessment result, you may make a request to the Associate Head of School for a further assessment opportunity.

Each further attempt may require the payment of a fee plus costs involved in the provision of materials for the attempt.

A further attempt is recorded for internal purposes and does not show on any official academic notification.

On successfully completing a further assessment, the minimum pass result is awarded. See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 4. Assessment Results Notification

Course assessment and final grades are reported using the Grade Key 1 method. Grade Keys are explained in Schedule 2 of the Academic Statute.

Once your tutor has marked your assessments you will be notified of your result.

When the assessment is in the form of a practical in-class demonstration/observation, you are likely to receive your results immediately or soon after the assessment activity has concluded.

When the assessment is a supervised test you are able to review your work, but the assessment is collected and retained by WelTec.

When you submit an assessment it is returned to you along with feedback to explain the reason(s) for the assessment result.

Results for each assessment are available within 15 working days on WelTec's Student Results portal at: https://results.weltec.ac.nz.

Final course grades are available within 25 working days from the course end date. Grades are viewable through the WelTec's Student Results portal at:

Use your WelTec login and password to access a number of items, such as your assessment results, current course enrolments, and other details.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, parts 4, 7. Challenging Assessment Decisions

You are encouraged to discuss any concerns about an assessment result with the tutor in the first instance.

If you find a mistake in the counting or addition of marks, you may request a recount from the tutor within five (5) working days of the assessment results being released.

If you consider that your assessment has not been marked according to the assessment criteria, you may challenge the result in writing to the Associate Head of School within five (5) working days of the assessment results being released.

The Associate Head of School may arrange for your submitted assessment to be re-evaluated by another assessor, who may be independent of the programme. The outcome of the re-evaluation is your final result.

You will normally be advised of the final result within ten (10) working days of receipt of the request, or within five (5) working days of receipt of any independent assessor’s report, whichever is later.

See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 6. You may appeal an academic decision only after available procedures and steps within the Faculty/School, including those in Challenging an Assessment Result above, are exhausted. You may appeal against a final course grade on the following grounds:

a. Additional information has become available since the approval of the course grade by the relevant body and/or

b. There is evidence of procedural irregularities in the assessment process. Applications for appeal must be received in writing by the Chair of the Appeal Committee within five (5) working days of the release of final course grades. In exceptional

circumstances the institution may extend the time for receipt of the application for appeal. See A1-R1 Academic Statute, part 8.. External Examinations

City & Guilds International Diploma in Patisserie is an external online examination. You may resit the examination at a specified time. There is a fee payable.

As a student new to WelTec:

In the first few weeks you will be invited to participate in the WelTec EV1 - First

Impressions Survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WelTecEV1). This is open to first-time WelTec students, and asks for your rating of and views about your enrolment experience, the initial in-class experience, and also your experience of the online resources on Moodle.

(25)

Wellington Institute of Technology - 2015 HV4175 Programme Handbook February 2015

Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 25

During your course time:

Your course outline may indicate that your course will have an EV4 - Tutor and Course Survey (http://www.thechoiceprotocol.ac.nz/ev4) undertaken towards the end. This helps the Programme Team to improve the teaching, the course, and the value of the programme to students. Note: you will need a specific 'survey event code' supplied by the survey administrator to use the EV4 (you can’t do it otherwise).

At the end of the programme or year:

In the final few weeks of the programme, or year, you will be invited to participate in the EV3 - Student Satisfaction Survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WelTecEV3). This asks you about your overall experience of WelTec's services, the programme, teaching, skills development, career enhancement, and overall satisfaction.

All WelTec surveys are anonymous; we do not ask you for identification. We do however ask for some demographic information (age range, sex, enrolment types, ethnicity, etc.) in order to make sense of trends for particular student groups.

The outcomes of the surveys are reported as aggregated information and tables to the WelTec Academic Committee. The reports are also made available to students.
