Paper Description
Paper Structure
PACIS200 will be taught via combination of online resources and weekly tutorials (Weds 2pm). These tutorial sessions will be interactive, which means they will include active participation from students. In addition, the assignments provide opportunities for you to work independently or as a group to consider, consolidate and extend your engagement with the material discussed in class.
PACIS200 is taught in three modules: Pacific Waikato, Pacific New Zealand, and Pacific diasporas worldwide.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
Assessment Components

Required and Recommended Readings
Required Readings

Recommended Readings
Online Support
PACIS200 requires you to make use of Moodle; this is where all course materials, announcements and additional resources are shared.
Workload
This is a 15 point paper, and so you should plan to spend 150 hours on it over the course of semester. This time allocation includes engaging with online materials, reading, group work, and preparation of assignments.
Don't forget to allow time to prepare for tutorials: I expect that when readings are required for specific lectures you will attend having read the piece carefully and having thought about how it connects to our paper.
