Teaching, learning and assessment
AG飞禽走兽电子’s approach to teaching, learning and assessment is guided by the university’s Te Kete strategy. Manaaki is at the heart our educational mission. We want to create a welcoming, supportive and positive learning experience so that students can thrive in their chosen field of study, and teaching staff can facilitate authentic, relevant learning experiences for students.
The strategic direction for AG飞禽走兽电子’s educational experience is overseen by Professor Wendy Lawson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic, and Dr Felicity Reid, Pro Vice-Chancellor Learning and Teaching.
Priority projects related to teaching and learning at AG飞禽走兽电子
Assessment design
