What this paper is about
How this paper will be taught
The paper will be taught through weekly on-campus workshop classes held from 11 am to 1 pm on Thursdays throughout the trimester. Workshop classes are also available via synchronous zoom classes online for students studying remotely.
Classroom sessions will combine lectures with seminar components (classroom presentations, student-led discussions, and group exercises); these activities will form part of the basis of assessments. A wide range of essential and optional reading material on plans, plan-making and plan-implementation theories, practices and paradigms from across the world will be made available for presentation and discussion. Classes will also include guest lectures, short videos and practical work with existing plans.
All assessments are to be completed or submitted online.
The schedule provided below is not fixed and final, some flexibility will be maintained to accommodate guest speaker schedules and the changing context of plan-making and plan-implementation in Aotearoa.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
Assessments are designed to achieve the learning outcomes and are closely related to the Environmental Planning graduate profile. Assessments reflect knowledge and understanding of the various components of plan-making and plan-implementation. Further details regarding assessments will be provided in class, and made available via Moodle.
Assessment 1: Student-led discussions of selected readings. Students (in groups of 3) will read and present a summary of selected readings in class and lead a discussion on them. All students are expected to read in advance and participate in the discussion. (20% of total grade).
Asessment 2: Reporting on classroom discussions. Students will prepare and submit a reflective report on the classroom discussion on the assigned reading, including reflections on the reading itself. (24% of total grade).
Assessment 3: Presentation of plan analysis. Students will (in teams of 5) analyse examples of various types of plans (strategic, regional, spatial, local, masterplan, Iwi management plans) on a range of topics (infrastructure, transport, biodiversity, growth etc.) and make presentation of findings in class. This means a total of four presentations per group, each will receive 6% of the total grade (24% of total grade).
Assessment 4: Comparative analysis of plans. Students will analyse a given set of plans (national and international) to extract critical insights and learnings for plan-making in terms of the common and distinctive elements of the plans, the substance and coherence of their key components (vision, objectives, policies, empirical bases and operational aspects), and how they differ from the RMA proposed model. (32% of total grade).
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
