Student’s Guide to Success
At Bridgepoint we want you to become confident, capable and enthusiastic learners. We encourage you to

question, at least one other person will also have that very same question – help them out and ask it!

Student Workbook, Level 3 Sport 2014
If you are having any problems with the course work, the following checklist might be
helpful:



Am I attending all classes on time and prepared for work?
Have I researched the material? Do I know how to use the library and Moodle?
Have I read my notes at home or with other students?

Have I looked on the UNITEC Moodle site for links to websites that may help?

Have I spent 5 hours a week on self-directed study for sport performance?

Have I asked Beth, Vinesh or Cheryl for help?

Have I been to Te Puna Ako or Maia for learning support and extra tuition?

Am I being a “professional” student?

Am I working in a tutorial group with my peers, do I have a study group?

Am I utilising my free time well and balancing social networking arenas?
It is essential that you attend all your classes.
Many of the ideas covered in class are not found in text books or on Moodle and it may be difficult to catch
up if you miss a class.
Investigations and laboratory work are a vital part of your class work.
These tasks are designed to extend your thinking. Laboratory investigations will be carried out in small
groups and the grades from these investigations will be included in your final grade for this course.
USE MOODLE regularly, and attend to clearing your emails.
Each week you need to schedule in at least 5 hours of self-directed study time. Practice work will be given
frequently to re-enforce your class work and completion of this is essential to your success. Most of this
‘homework’ will be assessed and will count towards your overall grade. This is a FULL TIME UNITEC course you
and it is understood that 40 hours per week is spent on learning for your four classes.

WORKSHOP - Monday/Tuesday
Anchoring new learning by practice and revision is extremely important in any subject. You are expected to
do about 60 minutes of work at “home” or in a study group for every 60 minutes you are in a timetabled
class, hence you need to schedule this self-directed time into your week.
Outlined below are the types of assessments indicating group and individual work FOR SPORT

In all cases of resubmitted work, unless otherwise stated, the original marked assignment must accompany
the resubmitted assignment. If resubmitted work is not accompanied by the original marked assignment,
where required, the resubmitted work will not be marked and the original grade will stand, except in
exceptional circumstances with the approval of the Pathway Leader.

“Plagiarism”:
You will learn about plagiarism in classes. Basically, any work that you submit must be your own.
If you have quoted from or referred to someone else’s work this is usually allowed; there are certain rules
for doing so that you will learn called “referencing”.
