First year coordinator Caroline Campbell It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Creative Arts at Massey University. You are about to embark on a journey that is both challenging and rewarding, and very different to what you have experienced at school. During your study you will engage in different types of learning as part of your core studio and elective papers. This learning aims to give you grounding in the subject areas and language of commercial, creative and critical practice, so that you can go on to become independent and collaborative creative thinkers and practitioners. You ll encounter terms and systems that may take time to understand, such as our assessment system, timetables and the online environment known as Stream. Briefly, Stream is an online teaching and learning platform that includes the assessment briefs relevant to your papers. The assessment brief introduces the paper theme, the learning aim, the tasks that you will engage in, the work that you will complete and submit for assessment, and the assessment criteria by which that work is marked. The brief is a vital learning document, which your lecturers and tutors will explain more fully in class. As the key point of contact for the first year, I aim to support you in your year of transition. Whatever you might be concerned about, I am here to help all you need to do is contact me. Dr Caroline Campbell CoCA first year coordinator Telephone: (04) 801 5799 ext 63079 Email: C.Campbell@massey.ac.nz Office: Te Whare Pukaka, Block 1 Hours: Monday/Tuesday 1-5pm. N.B.
