Department of Music Studies

• UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

During their final year of studies, all students are required to write a dissertation.

Students’ progress is supervised in colloquia (Dissertation seminars) organized by all faculty members of the selected specialization. These colloquia are not official courses. They are neither graded, nor associated with any credit units. They are a significant part of the dissertation writing process, through which students present the progress of their work.

For a student to be assigned a Dissertation, they must have completed the 4 th  year of their studies, and all Core and Specialization Required Courses.

Dissertation topics are selected from the eligible lists created by the faculty. In exceptional cases, it is possible for a student to propose a thesis topic. This can only be accepted if it fulfills the predetermined eligibility requirements.

Sectors can assign the supervision of Dissertations to faculty members, based on their specialties and the students’ needs.

Students must prepare their Dissertation alone, under the advisement of their supervisor.

Dissertations should be between 15000 and 25000 words (approximately 50 to 80 pages). This limit can be adjusted within reason on a case by case basis, based on the assigned topics, and with the agreement of the assigned faculty supervisor.

The minimum completion time for a dissertation is one semester and the maximum one year. If a student exceeds this time limit, they may request an extension of one semester. This request must be justified and submitted in writing to the corresponding Sector. The Sector must them make a recommendation for approval to the Department’s General Assembly. If the extension expires, the student must re-enroll with a new Dissertation topic.

Students must complete all their coursework prior to defending their Dissertation.

All Dissertations are evaluated and graded by 3 faculty members (of whom 1 is the Supervisor of the Dissertation and member of the relevant Sector). Each assessor offers a separate assessment and grade of the Dissertation. The final grade is calculated as the rounded average of the three grades.

If the three grades differ by more than 3 points from one another, or are on either side of 5, the Sector appoints a fourth assessor, who assigns the final grade.

The following 3 deadlines have been set for the submission of a Dissertations: July 1 st , October 1 st , and January 10 th .

LAW 790 : Dissertation

2022 semester one (1223) (30 points), course prescription, course overview.

A dissertation of approximately 15000 words resulting from original research of the student, having the scope, and depth of research, of a competent law review article. The topic and the research proposal for the dissertation needs the approval of the Associate Dean Postgraduate of the Faculty of Law before enrolment.

A dissertation is an extended piece of writing which presents the answer to a research question, the topic and nature of which is agreed with your supervisor. You are expected to read widely on the topic which interests you, select a question which raises significant issues and use literature to to inform your findings, discuss their significance and reach a conclusion. Your supervisor will provide guidance about the nature of the research and the standard expected, as well as ongoing advice throughout the process, and appropriate feedback. The responsibilities of both the student and the supervisor, along with the exact format of the dissertation are set out for you in the Guide to Theses and Dissertations.

See your departmental noticeboard for contact details for your class reps.

Inclusive Learning

All students are asked to discuss any impairment related requirements privately, face to face and/or in written form with the course director, lecturer or tutor.

Student Disability Services also provides support for students with a wide range of impairments, both visible and invisible, to succeed and excel at the University. For more information and contact details, please visit the Student Disability Services’ website http://disability.auckland.ac.nz

Special Circumstances

If your ability to complete assessed coursework is affected by illness or other personal circumstances outside of your control, contact a Student Academic and Support Adviser as soon as possible before the assessment is due.

If your personal circumstances significantly affect your performance, or preparation, for an exam or eligible written test, refer to the University’s aegrotat or compassionate consideration page https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/academic-information/exams-and-final-results/during-exams/aegrotat-and-compassionate-consideration.html .

This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.

Learning Continuity

In the event of an unexpected disruption, we undertake to maintain the continuity and standard of teaching and learning in all your courses throughout the year. If there are unexpected disruptions the University has contingency plans to ensure that access to your course continues and course assessment continues to meet the principles of the University’s assessment policy. Some adjustments may need to be made in emergencies. You will be kept fully informed by your course co-ordinator/director, and if disruption occurs you should refer to the university website for information about how to proceed.

Student Charter and Responsibilities

The Student Charter assumes and acknowledges that students are active participants in the learning process and that they have responsibilities to the institution and the international community of scholars. The University expects that students will act at all times in a way that demonstrates respect for the rights of other students and staff so that the learning environment is both safe and productive. For further information visit Student Charter https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/forms-policies-and-guidelines/student-policies-and-guidelines/student-charter.html .

Elements of this outline may be subject to change. The latest information about the course will be available for enrolled students in Canvas.

In this course students may be asked to submit coursework assessments digitally. The University reserves the right to conduct scheduled tests and examinations for this course online or through the use of computers or other electronic devices. Where tests or examinations are conducted online remote invigilation arrangements may be used. In exceptional circumstances changes to elements of this course may be necessary at short notice. Students enrolled in this course will be informed of any such changes and the reasons for them, as soon as possible, through Canvas.

Dissertation Extension Requests

It is expected that the vast majority of undergraduate and postgraduate students will be able to submit their dissertations on time, and will not require an extension.

How do I apply for a dissertation extension?

In the first instance, you should discuss your dissertation extension request with your dissertation supervisor.

A standard dissertation extension request should be applied for via Canvas, within the Faculty. A dissertation extension request of more than 14 days, or 21 days for students with an ARUAA, but no more than 3 months, should be applied for via Extenuating Circumstances, within the Faculty. See information about the Extenuating Circumstances policy and procedure, and the downloadable application form .

Only in exceptional circumstances will dissertation extension requests of more than 3 months be considered, as students are normally expected to be able to complete 60 credits of study within 3 months. A dissertation extension request of more than 3 months must be approved by the Academic Panel.

To apply for a dissertation extension of more than 3 months, your dissertation supervisor should email your completed Extenuating Circumstances form, independent supporting documentation, and their own supervisor statement, confirming that the request is reasonable in light of the circumstances being cited, to [email protected] , for the attention of the Academic Panel.

I am a part-time student, how does this impact my dissertation extension request?

Your mode of attendance does not impact your dissertation extension request. You will not be granted a longer dissertation extension as a result of your part-time status.

What information should my request include?

In your dissertation extension request you must:

• Make your case, and provide independent supporting documentation of the circumstances that have caused you to request a dissertation extension, i.e. medical documentation or other relevant independent supporting documentation.
• Confirm your original submission deadline.
• Confirm the new submission deadline agreed with your dissertation supervisor should the extension request be granted. On agreeing a new submission deadline your supervisor needs to take into account the work done to date and the impact of the circumstances going forward, to ensure the date is reasonably achievable but does not give you an advantage over students who do submit on time

When will I know if my dissertation extension request has been granted?

If you are requesting a standard dissertation extension, or a dissertation extension of up to three months, your Faculty will notify you of the outcome once a decision has been made.

If you are requesting a dissertation extension of more than three months, requiring approval from the Academic Panel, you will be notified of the outcome in the days following the next Academic Panel meeting. The Academic Panel typically meets once a month.

Extensions, suspensions, deletions and withdrawals

What to do when exceptional circumstances impact your postgraduate studies.

At a postgraduate level, programmes have stricter requirements than at undergraduate. However, we understand that students will at times face exceptional circumstances that will impact their studies.

In cases like this, it is important that you speak with your Postgraduate Adviser, Student Support Adviser and the team at the Student Hubs as soon as possible. They can ensure that all the options available to you are clear and accessible, and let you know any relevant deadlines.

In exceptional circumstances it may be possible for you to be granted an extension of time towards your dissertation or thesis.

Extensions of time are awarded two months at a time. The maximum extension that can be signed off by the faculty for a dissertation is two months and for a thesis it is four months. Extension requests for longer than the above limits need ultimate approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies. There are extra fees associated with an extension.

If you require an extension of time for one of your taught courses, you will need to talk to your course convener.

To apply for a formal extension of time you will need to complete the AS-503 Application for Senate Approval of Extension of Time form with support from the department. You should be prepared to supply the following, as the online form has options for uploading supporting evidence:

• A brief explanation of the exceptional circumstances which justify the extension
• A timeline for completion during the period of the extension
• Independent evidence which verifies your exceptional circumstances (e.g. a medical certificate, or letter from your employer)
• Statement of support from your supervisor acknowledging the above points

Suspensions

Postgraduate enrolment must usually be continuous. If you are unable to study in a particular semester you may need to apply for a suspension of time, depending on your degree.

Suspensions of time are awarded by semester for taught programmes and by month for research programmes. In both cases the maximum that can be awarded by the faculty is 12 months (2 semesters). Suspension requests for longer than 12 months need ultimate approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

If you have any questions about whether you are able to apply for a suspension, you can discuss your options with the Student Hubs .

If you decide to apply for a suspension of time, you will need to complete the AS-502 Application for Senate Approval of Suspension from Enrolment with support from the department. Be prepared to supply:

• A brief explanation of the exceptional circumstances which justify the suspension of time

Late deletion

Late Deletion is available to students who are unable to continue with their study because of exceptional circumstances such as illness, injury or events beyond their control. Applications must include independent evidence to verify the circumstances.

The following circumstances would not normally qualify for late deletion:

• Situations known at the point of enrolling
• Situations due to personal choice (eg financial circumstances, accepting a job offer, accepting the offer to attend another University, taking on additional work hours)
• Financial and work related issues such as increase in workload GPA concerns
• Needing a reduction in workload requested in the last fortnight of lectures

Withdrawals

If you need to drop a course and you are not eligible for a Late Deletion, you will need to Withdraw from the course by completing an AS-70 Course Alteration Form . You must do so within the deadlines.

Withdrawing from a course is different from Late Deletion because:

• Withdrawing will place a W (Withdrew) on your transcript
• Withdrawing from a course counts as a fail for your Grade Point Average (GPA) calculations
• You will still be liable to pay the fees for the withdrawn course there is no potential for a partial refund or credit available
• The points for the withdrawn course will still count towards your total for your postgraduate qualification. You will need to check that the Withdrawal does not put you at risk of exceeding the required number of points for your programme.
• Please note that if withdrawing from an A/B course, you must withdraw from both components.

Mortarboard Review

Montessori-related dissertations, 2023.

• Jennifer Moss Emporia State University
• Katie Keller Wood CMStep: Cincinnati Montessori Secondary Teacher Education Program

This is the second article in an ongoing series, published annually, highlighting a selection of English-language dissertations from the previous calendar year related to Montessori philosophy and education. Thirteen doctoral dissertations completed and approved during the 2023 calendar year were identified. The authors selected three dissertations to spotlight because they represent high-quality research in an area that is relevant to the current educational landscape: antibias and anti-racist (ABAR) educational practices.

Extension to dissertation submission deadline - for postgraduate taught students

If you are unable to complete your dissertation by your current submission deadline, you can apply for an extension.

How do I apply?

Please complete Sections One, Two and Three of the below form, providing as much detail as possible, and submit to your School/Department office.

Following a consideration of the information (and documentary evidence provided - for more guidance on this, see below) a School/Department representative will either decide to approve or reject your application. In some circumstances, you may be asked to provice further information/documentary evidence before a final decision.

What are acceptable reasons for requesting an extension?

You should give as much detail as possible about your reasons for requesting an extension to your dissertation submission deadline.

Each School/Department have clear procedures for granting extensions, including guidance on circumstances that will and will not be considered acceptable. However examples of generally acceptable/unacceptable reasons are as follows:

Acceptable reasons

• Major computer problems (eg failure of University networks)
• Significant medical problems
• Personal problems
• Compassionate (eg family bereavement)

Unacceptable reasons

• Minor computer problems (eg lost or damaged disks, printer breakdown)
• Lost assignments
• Desired books not in library
• Unverifiable travel difficulties
• Not realising deadline imminent

What supporting evidence do I need to provide?

You must include appropriate documentary evidence to support your reasons for requesting an extension. Some examples of appropriate supporting evidence are:

• Medical certificate – if you were ill or had to take care of someone who was ill
• Death certificate – if you have suffered a bereavement
• Supporting letter from your employer – if you had work-related difficulties
• Bank statements, payslips – if you had financial difficulties
• Supporting letter from your School

What do I need to do if my dissertation extension deadline would take me over the maximum period of registration?

What if my application is rejected.

If your request for an extension is not approved, your original submission date will apply.

If you have not made sufficient progress with your dissertation to submit by this deadline, your School will need to make a recommendation for you at the next Board of Examiners meeting. If it is your first attempt at the dissertation, you will have the right to re-submit to a deadline agreed by the School, and your dissertation mark will then be capped at 50% for the purposes of classifying your final degree classification. If it is your second attempt at the dissertation, the Board of Examiners will make a recommendation based on the marks for modules that you have already completed. This will normally mean the award of an alternative qualification.
