Due to the student centred and workshop type nature of most classes on campus students must attend 80% of sessions (i.e. if a course has 10 sessions then students must attend at least 8 sessions). This will ensure that students can make sense of course progressions and do not miss vital information. Exceptions to this will be considered by the lecture on a case by case basis provided. Students will be required to supply supporting documentation and evidence (e.g a medical certificate) to present a case to the lecturer when considering waivers for this requirement.
Students will be asked to complete course and teacher evaluations, using the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring surveys. Survey responses are conducted electronically and are confidential. The Faculty of Education will conduct regular graduate surveys.
All course assessments in the Bachelor of Sport Coaching are internally moderated. A sample of your work may be used as part of this moderation process. Regular examiners meetings monitor the distribution of final grades in courses and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure reasonable consistency and comparability of course grades.
An assessment is late if it is handed in after the due date, without a formal extension. If an assessment is submitted after the due date, 5% will be deducted from the final grade for every day the assessment is late. No assessments will be accepted after a period of 3 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted.
Students should refer to the Bachelor of Sport Coaching Course Handbook and course regulations for further information on course completing assignments and assessment. The Award regulations for the Bachelor of Sport Coaching can be found within the UC Calendar. The UC calendar is available online at:http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/publications/calendar.shtml. The specific Award regulations for the degree can be found at: http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/publications/documents/calendar/faculty_of_education.pdf.The College of Education assessment guidelines, which contain specific information regarding the College grading scale, late work, extensions, submission of work, reconsideration of grades, aegrotat procedures, academic integrity, and moderation of assessment can be found at:http://www.education.canterbury.ac.nz/documents/assessment_guidelines_for_students_13.pdfThe specific assessment details for each course, including assessment dates, can be found in the course outline which will be provided by your course lecturer at the start of the course.
All written assessment tasks and presentations must be referenced according to APA convention. (Information relating to APA referencing can be obtained from both the Central and Education Libraries.) Notes on APA referencing can also be found in the BSpC course handbook. Each assessment submission requires a completed cover sheet (available on-line).
Students who cannot complete assessments by the due date should discuss their situation with the course lecturer and complete the appropriate extension form. Where circumstances are known in advance, the student should discuss these with the course lecturer at least one week days prior to the assessment due date. In circumstances where this is not appropriate, the student should discuss their situation with the course lecturer as soon as possible.
In order to pass this course students must have passed all assessment events worth more than 10% with a C minus (C-) grade or better. Students will have the opportunity to resubmit one failed piece of assessment that originally received a mark between 40% - 49%, provided they have passed all other major assessments for the course. The resubmission will receive a maximum pass grade of 50%. Resubmissions will not apply to any examinations held during the University of Canterbury examination periods.
Students should refer to General Course and Examination Regulation H: Aegrotat Consideration and Aegrotat Consideration: Procedures in the UC Policy Library.
