• Spend 10 – 15 minutes discussing the following
ten questions in pairs or small groups.
• This covers essential information which all new
students at Massey need to know.
• If you don’t know answers, try to guess!
4. GISM ORIENTATION

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).
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

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.
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).

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.

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?”

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

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.
