Course coordinators will tell you which outlet has the reading material for their course. In addition, papers usually also include discussion and reinforcement sessions, such as tutorials, seminars, or language laboratories. Some classes involve practical work such as fieldtrips or Noho Marae. These generally last one hour and involve small groups of students meeting with a staff member, or graduate student tutor. Tutorials provide the opportunity to discuss course content, course work and readings, to exchange ideas and become acquainted with other course members.
Oral tutorials focus on practising speaking skills in the Maori language.
A seminar is a class discussion group that centres on set readings or on papers prepared and presented by students. These involve practising language skills, with a particular focus on pronunciation and listening comprehension. In addition, the language laboratory permits individual students to put in extra practice if desired. Sessions take place in the Language Learning Centre, level 0, von Zedlitz Building. Learning about Maori culture, present and past, may involve field trips to marae, museums and to former occupation sites.
