    PRESCRIPTOR: 
    The paper develops students’ abilities to navigate the conventions and expectations of academic
    communication. It fosters student autonomy and acculturation into the university community of practice.

    developing the multi-literacies competence required for success in their undergraduate studies. The
    paper has a strong focus on critical literacies and the development of academic writing. 
    LEARNING OUTCOMES:
    On successful completion of the paper students will demonstrate:
    1.  developing awareness of individual, cultural and social influences on communication and
    successful engagement with the multi-literacies required for academic study at undergraduate
    level
    2.  developing ability to critically engage with academic texts
    3.  the ability to produce academic texts that meet the conventions and expectations of
    undergraduate writing

    LEARNING & TEACHING STRATEGIES
    Students will be engaged by participating in the learning process as collaborators and recognizing and
    valuing what they bring to the paper. The learning of new knowledge and skills will be scaffolded.
    Students are expected to develop independence in their style of learning, an awareness of a range of
    learning strategies they can use, and strategies for coping with the demands of communication at
    tertiary level. This paper will be offered in a combination of lectures, workshops, tutorial sessions,
    interactive resources on Blackboard and personal study. The emphasis is on the dynamics of an
    interactive classroom where students work co-operatively, learn to take responsibility for their own
    learning and develop independence and initiative. Students will read discipline-related texts and use
    this material to develop understanding of their discipline, its expectations and conventions. A portfolio
    of work will provide evidence of learning that takes place throughout the course. This will include
    coursework, and evidence of engaging with the various literacies, goals and strategies both for the
    course and for further development. There will be ongoing formative feedback on individual weekly
    tasks, with summative assessment events.

    Paper Regulations
    Cell phones
    Cell phones and mobile devices must be switched to silent mode and not accessed during lectures
    unless for purposes approved by the lecturer. 
    Attendance
    To pass the paper, students should attend lectures/classes regularly [at least 80% attendance is
    recommended]. Attendance for all Computer Lab sessions is compulsory (Weeks 1, 11 &12)
    Unless indicated otherwise, attendance at all classes is extremely important. If you miss a session, you
    may find it very difficult to complete the assessment requirements.
    Note: it is the student’s responsibility to catch up on missed information by checking on Blackboard.
    Withdrawal
    Any request by a student to amend their programme of study or withdraw from a programme or paper
    must be made in writing. (2017 AUT Calendar, The General Academic regulations, Part 3, Section 9.1,
    9.5)
    A student’s enrolment in a paper or programme may be terminated by the paper or programme leader
    if the student is deemed to have withdrawn through non-completion of compulsory elements of the
    paper or programme and has failed to give written notice. (2017 AUT Calendar, The General Academic
    regulations, Part 3, Section 9.2)
    Where a student withdraws, or is withdrawn, from a paper the official academic record shall record a
    grade of:
    W if withdrawal is formally notified on or before the date by which 75% of the paper has been taught.
    DNC if withdrawal is after 75% of the paper has been taught.
    (2017 AUT Calendar, The General Academic regulations, Part 3, Section 9.4) 
    Dishonesty in assessments
    The 2017 AUT Calendar (General Academic regulations, Part 7, Section 2.1) states that: The University
    Academic Regulations shall be breached if a student during an assessment and/or course of study:
    2.1.1 copies from, or inappropriately communicates with, another person
    2.1.2 is found in possession of any unauthorised equipment or material
    2.1.3 plagiarises the work of another person without indicating that the work is not the student’s own
    2.1.4 collaborates with others in the preparation of material, except where this has been approved as
    an assessment requirement
    2.1.5 resubmits previously submitted work without prior approval of the examination board
    2.1.6 uses any other unfair means.
    Reconsideration of grades
    Students who wish to have their grades for an assessment reconsidered should first talk to the lecturer
    concerned; they may then consult the Programme Leader and submit a Reconsideration of Assessment
    form within 5 days of receiving the marked assessment
    Complaints
    If there are any problems with your course, please firstly discuss these with your lecturer. You may also
    contact the Paper Leader.
    - 8 -
    Assessments
    Three summative assessments test achievement of the learning outcomes and determine
    the final grade for the paper. In addition, students are required to file and submit tasks
    for Weeks 1-4 in an online Mahara portfolio and are encouraged to save formative and
    summative work in the Portfolio throughout the course. The Portfolio provides a record
    of learning and evidence of engagement with the various literacies, goals and strategies
    both for the course and for further development. Students will get feedback on some of
    these tasks but may also email or print any written work to give to their lecturers for
    feedback. The final reflective assessment is saved and submitted through Mahara.
    NB Students must complete all assessments and compulsory tasks.
    Request for Special Consideration: You may apply for special consideration for
    assessment events when exceptional circumstances beyond your control, including illness
    or injury, seriously affect your physical or mental/emotional ability to attempt an
    assessment, or prepare for an assessment, or perform successfully during an assessment,
    or complete an assessment on or by the due date.
    • To apply for Special Consideration, complete the online Special Consideration
    Application which can be accessed from the menu at the top right side of the
    Blackboard page for the paper.
    • Please note that applications must be submitted within 5 days of the assessment
    due date.
    • It is advisable to also notify your lecturer of your application. In exceptional
    circumstances, resubmission of no more than one assessment may be granted, for
    example if a request for Special Consideration has been made.
    Late assessments: Assessment submissions which are handed in late without an
    application for special consideration will incur a penalty unless a Request for Special
    Consideration is subsequently approved.
    Academic Integrity
    Students who use other writers’ work without appropriate acknowledgement, copy other
    students’ work or copy their own or other students’ previously submitted assignments
    will receive a penalty and may be awarded a fail grade.
    Presentation Standards
    Accuracy in grammar, spelling and punctuation, and appropriate academic style and
    content are goals of all the writing tasks on this course.

    formulate an idea of what your position/thesis might be, however, this may change after

    (list of research sources) for your proposed essay topic.
    • Your bibliography will contain two entries, one for each article, listed in
    alphabetical order by author’s surname according to APA 6th conventions.

    B. Presentation
    Write an annotated bibliography for your essay according to the instructions below.
    1. Write a title e.g. Stem Cell Research: An Annotated Bibliography
    2. For each article
    a. provide a full reference list citation according to APA6th referencing conventions
    b. write an annotation - a short paragraph of 100-150 words which contains
