    Hi everyone,

    Just wondering if someone could maybe help me with this? I remember reading a while back that massey has made a partnership with a bunch of Australian universities to allow Massey students to access those Uni’s libraries. Now I can’t find this info anywhere :( It’s probably right in front of me on the Massey website somewhere but so far I am drawing a blank. Any help would be much appreciated :)

      Hi Grace, sorry about the late reply. The Library partnership that you read about is still in the process of being finalized, and I am told is primarily tied to Queensland universities. I will try to find out more and get back to you.

      All the best,

      Adam

    Hi,
    this is my first time doing a paper from Massey and am loving it so far, bit nervous about the exam at the end though – is anyone doing 187.101 – Into to social & cultural studies in education?

      Hi Jodie, I did that paper in 1989 so I suspect my knowledge of it is a little out of date. If you would like a class-list of others taking the paper in your area give Anne Moretti Anne@exmss.org.nz an email.

      Cheers

      Hi Carmen,

      Welcome! My advice is: don’t stress. We all start somewhere and the nerves do go. Try to keep on top of your assignments and you’ll be fine. The exams are not as scary as we convince ourselves they are. Good luck with teachers college :)

    Thanks Louise, I’ll have a look on OWLL. I guess we could find plenty of things to be frustrated about – lol, but certainly if we were offered basic structure expectations it would be wonderful.

      OWLL also has available a pdf copy of the academic writing guide – or if you contact your local EAR they can source you a printed copy.

    Hi there I am not aware of any particular expectations. But you might get some ideas from OWLL where there are two sample essays. One is, if I recall correctly, around 1200 words, and the other is around 2500 words. The structure of the latter is more complex. But your point is taken – there [...]

    I was just wondering whether there is anything available which sets out what is expected from the different levels when writing an essay? A tutor of my first level 300 paper made a comment about what was expected, and it would be very helpful to have known this already! Hindsight is not useful when you’ve [...]

    I have been working on this raven. The next iteration of Rate It (called Review It) is now embedded in Massey’s survey framework. We have secured Govt funds to update the survey and roll it out to internal students as well as extramurals. We also plan to review the comments that come back and present [...]

    I have been working on this raven. The next iteration of Rate It (called Review It) is now embedded in Massey’s survey framework. We have secured Govt funds to update the survey and roll it out to internal students as well as extramurals. We also plan to review the comments that come back and present reports to Massey on a regular basis. Total time taken, 1.5 years; total time to go before Massey is really listening, 1 year. Be patient my fellow students. Read more by following the link in the top bar on the EXMSS website

  • raven started the forum topic RateIt in the group Massey Extramurals:   3 months ago · View

    Useful to help decide whether to take a paper or not, BUT does any negative rating actually motivate any changes to the paper by the co-ordinator? I’ve just read about how last years students were frustrated at the lack of WebCT support for one paper I’m now doing, and it obviously hasn’t changed :( WebCT [...]

    Well I have posted the submission to the Voluntary Student Membership Bill on the president’s blog. I am rather looking forward to speaking to the submission. The process has been difficult but rewarding in the sense that I have learned a lot about how to write a submission and about what extramural students think.
