Massey University is reviewing a new policy for master’s Thesis Exams, designed to ensure fair, transparent, and efficient processes for completing a master’s thesis. The aim of this policy is to help students, supervisors, and examiners achieve success in postgraduate student research, and prevent or resolve dispute matters, should they arise.

Te Tira Ahu Pae, your Students’ Association, invites all students to our online consultation forum, to open the floor and share your experience in completing your thesis exams, or your thoughts on how you think this policy will impact completing a thesis exam.

📅 Thursday, 1 August 2024
⏱ 6 pm onwards

In this forum, we will be covering four main areas of this policy including.

1. Appointment of examiners

2. Submission of thesis

3. Process of the examination

4. Determining the final grade

In light of the current government’s kōrero around Te Tiriti, as well as concerns from tauira about Massey’s commitment to Te Tiriti, the Māori cohort of Te Tira Ahu Pae is running a survey for all students to have their say on how Massey University as a Te Tiriti-led university is upholding their obligations.

What do Class Representatives do? 🧐

Class Reps give feedback about issues affecting students as they arise within their classes and courses. They are students who volunteer to act as a class contact between students, teaching staff and the students’ association (Te Tira Ahu Pae). Watch the video https://youtu.be/byfXVzDw-FM to find out more about Class Reps.

Why are you encouraged to be a Class Rep? 🧐

• It is an easy way to meet new people - great for first year students who want to make some new friends
• Increase involvement in the course means a higher chance of succeeding.
• Develop leadership and employment skills
• Gain experience that can be bragged about on your CV when you graduate! Plenty of certificates to be earned
• Contribute to high quality courses and teaching

Kia ora koutou,

There will be no Online Supervised Exam’s taking place in Semester 2 or Summer School of 2024.

After the OSE debacle last semester that saw many students unable to access their exams for multiple days, Massey has extended the removal of OSE’s to Sem 2 and Summer School this year.

Massey’s response during the debacle and this decision can be accredited to the large numbers of students that engaged with us and other initiatives such as the petition to, ‘https://www.change.org/p/stop-massey-university-from-using-online-supervised-exams-ose ’. Massey has seen how many students are invested in this issue and has listened to Te Tira Ahu Pae’s short term demands.

However, nothing is set for 2025 onwards. Senior Massey Staff are currently working on decisions for the long-term in regard to OSE use at Massey. Student reps are being included in these discussions, so we’ll continue to fight on behalf of students. We’ll pass on further updates when we have them.

To provide any input on the use of Online Supervised Exam’s at Massey, or if you have any questions, please direct them to the lead OSE Representative Contact Flynn: [email protected]

Massey releases another curriculum transformation document.

Professor Bryan Walpert "I’m going to have to negotiate with a learning specialist about my content and my pedagogy. That’s outrageous. And it’s very upsetting and it’s going to be very upsetting to a lot of staff."
