ҕl advice
See your lecturer during their office hours or ask your tutor in a tutorial. See for details of your lecturers' availability. Make sure you have specific questions to ask and that you have first worked at the problem yourself.
Lectures are the framework on which to base your studies. If you are not happy about any aspect of lectures, first approach your lecturer. They do appreciate the chance to sort matters out at a personal level. You may wish to do this through your class representatives.
You could also approach your tutor or the departmental grievance committee, or finally the Head of School.
Tutorials
Our 100-level lectures often contain several hundred students, but they are supplemented by regular small–group tutorials in which you will be given personal assistance with problems arising from the lectures. We also offer tutorials at levels 200, 300 and 400.
The importance of tutorials cannot be over-emphasised. If you do not participate in tutorials, you will have great difficulty passing the tests and examinations; you should regard tutorial attendance as compulsory.
Talk to your course co-ordinator or tutor if tutorials are not working for you.
Personal circumstances can cause you to miss a test or exam, or impair your performance in them. ճUniversity Calendar or the Guide to Enrolment | Aratohu Whakauru should be consulted for the regulations concerning special considerations (formerly aegrotats), but you should also see the lecturer in charge of the course.
If you don't tell us, we can't help you!
