Latest Submissions to Massey

As well as working on deriving benefits from any fee rise  I have been involved in a multitude of discussions around the university. Plagiarism looks like it will be getting a formal procedure that is embedded in the disciplinary procedures. This will offer consistency across the university and the process has been well thought out. The Intellectual Property Policy has been updated. There are considerable implications for students here but I have been able suggest several student friendly changes that have been taken up by the university. Academic Decision Making and the revamp of Massey’s General Regulations have received submissions from myself on behalf of all students. Current issues are Remarking of Coursework and improvements for Rate It. Massey suggested introducing a cost for remarking assignments as well as reducing the window of opportunity for asking for a remark. I was a vocal participant on the decision making group that decided to scrap the fee. A good result for all – we should now have a clear, free for students, policy on remarking of coursework for 2010.
