GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

1. What are Massey papers and how many do you take?
•   A paper is a specific course of study, normally lasting
    one semester and worth 15 credits towards the 360
    credits students need to complete most (three-year)
    undergraduate degrees at Massey.

•   Normally students take four papers each
    semester, totalling 60 credits. Some papers are
    compulsory; others are elective, which means that
    students choose them.

•   Information about your particular programme can be
    found under the „course‟ tab at the top of the Massey
    home page. Use „course search‟ for overall programme
    planning and „paper search‟ for information about each
    individual paper.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1




• The first part of the code for each paper tells you
  the subject area and second half tells you the
  level.

• For example, 152.xxx is management and xxx.200
  is a second level paper, so you know that 152.200
  must be a second level management paper (it is
  Contemporary Management).
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1


2. What is Stream – why and how often do you need to
access it?
• Stream is the online LMS (Learning Management
  System) used at Massey.

• It is based on Moodle, which is used by many
  universities around the world.

• Students are expected to access Stream EVERY
  DAY starting from the week before lectures start.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1



• You access Stream by first clicking on COURSES
  and choosing Stream Login.




 • Then you log in, using the student number and
   PIN which you are provided with on enrolment at
   Massey.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1


When you access Stream, look for:

• The paper guide – this contains essential
  information you need to know at the start.

• Discussion Forums – other students and the
  lecturer / tutors may have put important
  information (including changes to lectures and
  assessments) in here.

• Assessment Guide.

• Notes and extra materials for each week‟s
  studies.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

3. Who will give you your timetable – and when?

• Nobody! You have to find out for yourself!

• Click on Academic Teaching Timetables 2013
  under the COURSES tab on the Massey homepage.




• You‟ll find some useful advice, as well a link to the
  most up-to-date version of the Public Timetable
  (note that changes occur before and during the
  semester).
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1




Click on CONTINUE on the Public Timetable
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1




• Then enter your paper numbers in the paper code
  box, as instructed, making sure that the
  semester, location and mode details are correct.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1


•   The system then generates a timetable for these papers
    – giving the paper code, the time, the room (e.g. QB8)
    and the type of class (e.g. Tutorial, lecture etc).




•   You can print this out – but make sure you check again
    in week 1, as there may be changes. Also check in your
    Paper Guide and attend a Timetable Planning Workshop
    in Orientation week to make sure you have the
    right information.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

4. Who do you contact if you are absent from a lecture or
tutorial?
• Nobody (except if you are in a small class – and
  only as a matter of politeness).

• It is your own responsibility to attend all your
  classes and do the required study. Generally, no
  one at Massey will be checking on you.

• BUT, it really is essential to attend all lectures and
  tutorials if you want to succeed. If you are
  ill, make sure you spend time checking the notes
  etc about what you‟ve missed on the Stream page
  for the paper – and talk to your classmates.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

5. What books do you need to buy each semester – and
where do you find them?
•   Like other essential information, this will be in your
    Paper Guide on Stream.

•   Most papers have prescribed texts which students are
    expected to buy and use intensively throughout the
    course, including (usually) DVDs and websites.

•   Most prescribed texts are about 500 pages long (i.e.
    about 50 pages per week for 10 weeks), which means
    spending about 4 – 6 hours reading, making notes and
    doing exercises independently each week.

•   If the book has not changed, students may be able to
    buy used copies – otherwise, Bennetts bookshop on
    campus has copies of all prescribed books.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

6. How much time do you need to spend on independent
study each week?
 • For each paper, lectures, tutorials or labs typically
   take up about 4 hours each week. So, if you take
   four papers, you will be in class for about 16 – 20
   hours per week.

• For each paper, you‟re expected to do 10 hours or
  so of independent study each week, consisting of
  reading, note-taking, exercises, assignment and
  examination preparation.

• That all adds up to a full-time job as a student and
  means you need to organise your daily schedule
  well

GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

7. How long are the written assignments, how much
research and writing time do you need for each one?
  •   Not all papers have written assignments. But when
      they do, they are typically between 1000 and 2000
      words long for 100 level papers and up to 3000 words
      or so for 300 level papers.

  •   Often you have to hand the first one in (by uploading it
      to Stream) during the first half of the semester (but
      you need to check all these details in the Paper Guide).

  •   Generally, you‟ll need to spend 10 – 20 hours on each
      one (but it varies a lot, of course). Half of this time is
      taken up with research, one third writing and the rest
      editing your first draft.

  •   This means that time management and making
      an early start is important. Failing to plan is like
      planning to fail!

The best way to tackle written assignments is to divide your time over
3 – 4 weeks and get feedback (e.g. from the Centre for Teaching and
Learning) once or twice, before going onto the next stage.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

8. How much can you copy from books or the internet in
your assignments?
• Basically, NOTHING (except a few short
  definitions of key concepts in each assignment).

• Written assignments are intended to show your
  understanding of theory and your ability to use
  this understanding to analyse real-world issues –
  copying won‟t achieve this.

• You‟ll learn more about quotations and summaries
  in the presentations during Module 2, but here are
  some brief principles.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1


 • Never quote just because the original writer said it better than you
   can!
 • Where possible, embed the quote inside your own sentence.


 1) Only quote definitions:
      Leadership has been defined as “the process of influencing the activities of an
      organized group toward goal achievement” (Rauch & Behling, 1984, p. 46).


 2) ..... or really memorable and relevant phrases:

        Management theory has been described as “in large measure, a reply to Fayol’s
        original memo” (Hales, 1993, p. 3).
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1


 • When you summarise, FIRST highlight key words and transfer them
   into your own brief notes.
 • THEN close the book or screen and write your summary based on
   your notes.
             “Confucianism developed from Confucius’s life-long concern for a humanistic
 ORIGINAL    government, and a political and social order that was built firmly on the
             rites, li, developed and implemented in the Zhou dynasty (1122-771 BC). Li, in
             Chinese means institutional rites and norms that define and regulate political
             and social behavior. Confucius’ singular contribution to this tradition was to
             provide a philosophical account of the true nature of li by invoking two
             quintessential Confucian notions, ren, human benevolence and yi, moral
             fittingness, as its foundation of legitimacy. These elements were then woven
             into a coherent moral system that is the core of Confucianism”
             ( TEXT COPIED FROM: de Bettignies, Ip, Bai, Habisch & Lenssen, 2011, p. 625).

              Confucianism is a systematic, philosophical approach to the maintenance of
  SUMMARY     harmonious human relationships in society (de Bettignies, Ip, Bai,    Habisch
              & Lenssen, 2011).

9. What resources do you need to use for your
assignments?
• Click on the „Research‟ tab on the Massey home
  page and choose „Library‟.

• Click on „Subject Guides‟ and then on your major
  to find the research resources you need for your
  research.
GISM ORIENTATION
Module 1

For example, for Finance, Economics, Banking and Property,
the most important databases for finding relevant research
for assignments are:




It‟s important to get used to doing real research, using these
resources, instead of depending on second-hand and
unreliable resources from the internet. That‟s why you
are at university, after all!

•   Massey has freely available online study and writing
    resources at: http://owll.massey.ac.nz.

•   This includes the videos which you will be using in
    Module 2.

•   The Centre for Teaching and Learning offers one-to-one
    consultations – both online and face-to-face - and
    organises Peer Mentor Groups for many papers – these
    can make a big difference to students‟ performance.

•   We have arranged for all of you to visit the Centre in

10. What are the differences between A+ (top) and E
(bottom) grade essays at Massey?

• You are going to see the opening paragraphs of
  two Management essays based on the question:

• “Compare and contrast ONE Western and ONE
  non-Western approach to Management or
  Leadership. To what extent is either approach
  relevant in the modern business context?”

This is the introduction paragraph of an E grade essay. Can you
find FIVE or more things that are wrong with it?

Jules Henri Fayol was born in Istanbul in 1841 and died in
Paris in 1925. I decided to write about him, because he
came up with an important management approach called
Administrative Principles and one really interesting quote I
read about him was that if all philosophy is a set of
footnotes to Plato, management theory is in large measure
a reply to Fayol’s original memo. According to Hales in a
book called Management through Organisation. I chose
Confucianism because it is incredibly important in China and
South-East Asia. They’re different in some ways but similar
in lots of others, both of them are relevant because

Plagiarism occurs when information from another
source is used without being credited correctly. This source
can be a book, a journal article, or a website: anything that
was written by someone else. There are several common
mistakes that can lead to plagiarism:

       •   Copying words without telling the reader where
           those words came from
       •   Copying words without putting them inside
           quotation marks
       •   Paraphrasing another source, but only
           changing a few words
       •   Using the facts or ideas from another source
           without telling the reader where they came
           from

This is the introduction paragraph of an A+ essay.
Can you find FIVE or more things that are good about it?

Leadership has been defined as “the process of influencing the activities
of an organized group toward goal achievement” (Rauch &
Behling, 1984, p. 46). Given its central importance within society, it is
no surprise that leadership has been a major focus of study and debate
throughout history. This essay compares two approaches to leadership
from Western and Eastern traditions. The first is Fayol’s century-old
Administrative Principles approach, considered to be one of the
foundations of the study of Management as a distinct discipline.
Indeed, Management theory has been described as “in large measure, a
reply to Fayol’s original memo” (Hales, 1993, p. 3). The second
approach is the much older and more culturally-embedded set of beliefs
known as Confucianism, which is said to continue to guide leadership
and management across China and much of South-East Asia
(Tsui, Wang, Xin, Zhang, & Fu, 2004). It will be argued that, despite
their diverse origins, these two approaches share certain core
values, and an understanding of their potential and limitations continues
to be a core component of management expertise in the modern
business environment.

  • 5. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 1. What are Massey papers and how many do you take? • A paper is a specific course of study, normally lasting one semester and worth 15 credits towards the 360 credits students need to complete most (three-year) undergraduate degrees at Massey. • Normally students take four papers each semester, totalling 60 credits. Some papers are compulsory; others are elective, which means that students choose them. • Information about your particular programme can be found under the „course‟ tab at the top of the Massey home page. Use „course search‟ for overall programme planning and „paper search‟ for information about each individual paper.
  • 6. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • The first part of the code for each paper tells you the subject area and second half tells you the level. • For example, 152.xxx is management and xxx.200 is a second level paper, so you know that 152.200 must be a second level management paper (it is Contemporary Management).
  • 7. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 2. What is Stream – why and how often do you need to access it? • Stream is the online LMS (Learning Management System) used at Massey. • It is based on Moodle, which is used by many universities around the world. • Students are expected to access Stream EVERY DAY starting from the week before lectures start.
  • 8. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • You access Stream by first clicking on COURSES and choosing Stream Login. • Then you log in, using the student number and PIN which you are provided with on enrolment at Massey.
  • 9. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 When you access Stream, look for: • The paper guide – this contains essential information you need to know at the start. • Discussion Forums – other students and the lecturer / tutors may have put important information (including changes to lectures and assessments) in here. • Assessment Guide. • Notes and extra materials for each week‟s studies.
  • 10. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 3. Who will give you your timetable – and when? • Nobody! You have to find out for yourself! • Click on Academic Teaching Timetables 2013 under the COURSES tab on the Massey homepage. • You‟ll find some useful advice, as well a link to the most up-to-date version of the Public Timetable (note that changes occur before and during the semester).
  • 11. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 Click on CONTINUE on the Public Timetable
  • 12. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • Then enter your paper numbers in the paper code box, as instructed, making sure that the semester, location and mode details are correct.
  • 13. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • The system then generates a timetable for these papers – giving the paper code, the time, the room (e.g. QB8) and the type of class (e.g. Tutorial, lecture etc). • You can print this out – but make sure you check again in week 1, as there may be changes. Also check in your Paper Guide and attend a Timetable Planning Workshop in Orientation week to make sure you have the right information.
  • 14. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 4. Who do you contact if you are absent from a lecture or tutorial? • Nobody (except if you are in a small class – and only as a matter of politeness). • It is your own responsibility to attend all your classes and do the required study. Generally, no one at Massey will be checking on you. • BUT, it really is essential to attend all lectures and tutorials if you want to succeed. If you are ill, make sure you spend time checking the notes etc about what you‟ve missed on the Stream page for the paper – and talk to your classmates.
  • 15. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 5. What books do you need to buy each semester – and where do you find them? • Like other essential information, this will be in your Paper Guide on Stream. • Most papers have prescribed texts which students are expected to buy and use intensively throughout the course, including (usually) DVDs and websites. • Most prescribed texts are about 500 pages long (i.e. about 50 pages per week for 10 weeks), which means spending about 4 – 6 hours reading, making notes and doing exercises independently each week. • If the book has not changed, students may be able to buy used copies – otherwise, Bennetts bookshop on campus has copies of all prescribed books.
  • 16. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 6. How much time do you need to spend on independent study each week? • For each paper, lectures, tutorials or labs typically take up about 4 hours each week. So, if you take four papers, you will be in class for about 16 – 20 hours per week. • For each paper, you‟re expected to do 10 hours or so of independent study each week, consisting of reading, note-taking, exercises, assignment and examination preparation. • That all adds up to a full-time job as a student and means you need to organise your daily schedule well

  • 19. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 7. How long are the written assignments, how much research and writing time do you need for each one? • Not all papers have written assignments. But when they do, they are typically between 1000 and 2000 words long for 100 level papers and up to 3000 words or so for 300 level papers. • Often you have to hand the first one in (by uploading it to Stream) during the first half of the semester (but you need to check all these details in the Paper Guide). • Generally, you‟ll need to spend 10 – 20 hours on each one (but it varies a lot, of course). Half of this time is taken up with research, one third writing and the rest editing your first draft. • This means that time management and making an early start is important. Failing to plan is like planning to fail!
  • 20. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 NOW WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 research & plan write revise A F F N E E A E E L D D Y B B S A A E C C K K The best way to tackle written assignments is to divide your time over 3 – 4 weeks and get feedback (e.g. from the Centre for Teaching and Learning) once or twice, before going onto the next stage.
  • 21. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 8. How much can you copy from books or the internet in your assignments? • Basically, NOTHING (except a few short definitions of key concepts in each assignment). • Written assignments are intended to show your understanding of theory and your ability to use this understanding to analyse real-world issues – copying won‟t achieve this. • You‟ll learn more about quotations and summaries in the presentations during Module 2, but here are some brief principles.
  • 22. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • Never quote just because the original writer said it better than you can! • Where possible, embed the quote inside your own sentence. 1) Only quote definitions: Leadership has been defined as “the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement” (Rauch & Behling, 1984, p. 46). 2) ..... or really memorable and relevant phrases: Management theory has been described as “in large measure, a reply to Fayol’s original memo” (Hales, 1993, p. 3).
  • 23. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • When you summarise, FIRST highlight key words and transfer them into your own brief notes. • THEN close the book or screen and write your summary based on your notes. “Confucianism developed from Confucius’s life-long concern for a humanistic ORIGINAL government, and a political and social order that was built firmly on the rites, li, developed and implemented in the Zhou dynasty (1122-771 BC). Li, in Chinese means institutional rites and norms that define and regulate political and social behavior. Confucius’ singular contribution to this tradition was to provide a philosophical account of the true nature of li by invoking two quintessential Confucian notions, ren, human benevolence and yi, moral fittingness, as its foundation of legitimacy. These elements were then woven into a coherent moral system that is the core of Confucianism” ( TEXT COPIED FROM: de Bettignies, Ip, Bai, Habisch & Lenssen, 2011, p. 625). Confucianism is a systematic, philosophical approach to the maintenance of SUMMARY harmonious human relationships in society (de Bettignies, Ip, Bai, Habisch & Lenssen, 2011).
  • 24. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 9. What resources do you need to use for your assignments? • Click on the „Research‟ tab on the Massey home page and choose „Library‟. • Click on „Subject Guides‟ and then on your major to find the research resources you need for your research.
  • 25. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 For example, for Finance, Economics, Banking and Property, the most important databases for finding relevant research for assignments are: It‟s important to get used to doing real research, using these resources, instead of depending on second-hand and unreliable resources from the internet. That‟s why you are at university, after all!
  • 26. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 • Massey has freely available online study and writing resources at: http://owll.massey.ac.nz. • This includes the videos which you will be using in Module 2. • The Centre for Teaching and Learning offers one-to-one consultations – both online and face-to-face - and organises Peer Mentor Groups for many papers – these can make a big difference to students‟ performance. • We have arranged for all of you to visit the Centre in your first week.
  • 27. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 10. What are the differences between A+ (top) and E (bottom) grade essays at Massey? • You are going to see the opening paragraphs of two Management essays based on the question: • “Compare and contrast ONE Western and ONE non-Western approach to Management or Leadership. To what extent is either approach relevant in the modern business context?”
  • 28. GISM ORIENTATION Module 1 This is the introduction paragraph of an E grade essay. Can you find FIVE or more things that are wrong with it? Jules Henri Fayol was born in Istanbul in 1841 and died in Paris in 1925. I decided to write about him, because he came up with an important management approach called Administrative Principles and one really interesting quote I read about him was that if all philosophy is a set of footnotes to Plato, management theory is in large measure a reply to Fayol’s original memo.

  • 34. Plagiarism occurs when information from another source is used without being credited correctly. This source can be a book, a journal article, or a website: anything that was written by someone else. There are several common mistakes that can lead to plagiarism: • Copying words without telling the reader where those words came from • Copying words without putting them inside quotation marks • Paraphrasing another source, but only changing a few words • Using the facts or ideas from another source without telling the reader where they came from From MASSEY OWLL
  • 35. This is the introduction paragraph of an A+ essay. Can you find FIVE or more things that are good about it? Leadership has been defined as “the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement” (Rauch & Behling, 1984, p. 46). Given its central importance within society, it is no surprise that leadership has been a major focus of study and debate throughout history. This essay compares two approaches to leadership from Western and Eastern traditions. The first is Fayol’s century-old Administrative Principles approach, considered to be one of the foundations of the study of Management as a distinct discipline. Indeed, Management theory has been described as “in large measure, a reply to Fayol’s original memo” (Hales, 1993, p. 3). The second approach is the much older and more culturally-embedded set of beliefs known as Confucianism, which is said to continue to guide leadership and management across China and much of South-East Asia (Tsui, Wang, Xin, Zhang, & Fu, 2004). It will be argued that, despite their diverse origins, these two approaches share certain core values, and an understanding of their potential and limitations continues to be a core component of management expertise in the modern business environment.
