Keep an eye out for other events this year such as our Networking event: Protect Your Future – Get a Job (near the end of March). You can also get involved by being a Student Rep for

And last but not least, here are some of my helpful tips to make studying at Lincoln a bit easier for you: • Use Lincoln University’s open door policy! – Feel free to chat to staff if you need help with anything. • The library is always a warm place to go – especially in winter! • Learn the lyrics to Wagon Wheel. • Orientation only happens once a year so make the most of it! Head along to as many events as possible to make some friends and be merry. • Get onto things early! – Uni terms are much shorter than high school so it can be hard to catch up if you get behind • There is always hot water and good showers at the Rec

Take your weekend off and head over to the Coast for the annual Hokitika Wildfoods Festival on Saturday 14 March 2015. A celebration of all things wild from the West Coast, the Hokitika Wildfoods Festival has something for everyone. For the foodies there will be marinated tuna, whitebait patties, gourmet sausages, smoked high country salmon and an assortment of game meat. This year, festival goers can try out traditional hangi – authentic New Zealand fare. Or for a challenge, experience some of the wilder foods. The iconic Festival huhu grubs are on the menu – eat them cooked or dare your mates to eat one live. Perhaps mountain oysters are more to your taste (maybe ask a local first). Alongside this we’ll be serving up crocodile bites, chicken feet, grasshoppers, colostrum cheesecake as well as crepes, waffles and fudge with a twist. The Festival is all about exposing your palate to something new – so go wild. To wash it all down, there will be bubbles and premium wines from Tohu along with Monteith’s beer and cider. And of course for those who prefer a stronger drink moonshine, colostrum shooters and the infamous stallion semen protein shots. There is plenty of entertainment throughout the day, with an assortment of music types and characters. The day will include a series of cooking demonstrations by some well-known wild food chefs including “Swazi Man” Davey Hughes and The Mahys - hopefully you’ll pick up some tips for the next flat dinner. For those who don’t need an excuse to dress up, there is a best-dressed prize for the most creative and imaginative, in keeping with the ‘A Taste Of The Wild’ theme. There is also a photography competition – a chance to snap your mate while he takes a knee for a semen shot.
Caclin Issue 1 | 8
Gates open at 10am. Early bird tickets are $35 (until 31 January) then $40 until 13 March from ticketdirect.co.nz. For more info on the Festival and available accommodation, check out wildfoods.co.nz or follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

What's the Haps with
HILGENDORF? – Ian Letham
You’ve probably been wondering what the deal is with that Hilgendorf Building. I mean, it’s just been sitting there, right? Doing nothing. All fenced off. Well, this is the year we will be saying goodbye to the old girl. Currently work is underway to get the building ready for demolition. Things like insurance assessment work, rerouting underground pipes and cables, and dismantling the air bridge connecting the Hilgendorf lecture theatres to the Burns Building. This is all just prep work to ‘set the scene’ for future demolition (which should be kicking off around July), but it has and will involve some tree-felling and some trench work on campus. As the demolition project gets underway, the University will be keeping you informed when and where it can on what’s coming up and what to look out for. Yup, there are going be times when there’s a bit of noise about or a bit of a detour required, but all the work will be conducted with your safety in mind and with the aim of minimising disruption. Stay tuned!

The Roxx is New Zealand's leading indoor climbing gym and has heaps to offer students who are up for a challenge. Lincoln University student Tristan Girdwood is in his third year of a B.Sc in Plant Science. He has been a member of the LU Tramping and Climbing Club for two years. He spent the first year mostly tramping, and in the past six months has been developing his passion for climbing. “I joined the club because I enjoy the outdoors and physical challenges, and was keen to meet some other like-minded people. I did a little bit of climbing growing up in Wellington and loved it, but never found anyone to go regularly with - which is kind of important for climbing if you want

Always, but especially during O’Week, particularly if you have been over indulging. Great hint – avocado is the perfect ‘morning after’ nutrient boost. Drink heaps of water too. Don’t be afraid to alternate as the night gets on, and you need some energy. It’s freeeeeeee.
MAKE GETTING HOME PLANS
Free buses will run from Lincoln to Riccarton after events on Mon 23rd, Wednesday 25th and Saturday 28th
Spend a few minutes arranging a way home before you arrive at the gigs. LUSA will be putting on buses from the Comedy, Toga and Solfest events to Riccarton. Most events will finish between 10 and 1am, so have a sober driver ready, or catch the bus! If you live on campus – lucky you! Enjoy the very short walk back to your hall.
STICK WITH YOUR MATES! Whether it’s with old buddies or new friends you’ve made since arriving at Lincoln, there is safety in numbers.
R18
Remember your age ID and Lincoln student ID or NO ENTRY
So hang together and don’t go wandering into the night alone!
LOOK OUT FOR OTHER MATES There’s usually at least one mate that overdoes it. So, if this happens, make sure they keep out of trouble. You don’t have to be their mother, just be a good mate - limit their alcohol, provide them with plenty of water and make sure they get home safety. Caclin Issue 1 | 18

The
ROUGH GUIDE ·SEMESTER 1 2015·
"What do you think would be helpful for students new to this course to know about the class?"
This is the question that LUSA asks at the end of most of the classes at Lincoln. We take the answers, edit and squeeze them into shape, check the spelling, remove the icky bits and then forge them in to the Rough Guide: a compilation of advice from the students who have gone before you. BUT before you immediately start searching for the courses that are relevant to you, there are a few things we should tell you:
1
2
Not all the first semester courses are present. Some just didn't provide any advice, others renew. Not all classes get questionaires every year. We didn't bother with the post-grad courses at all (you should know what you're doing by now anyway). Also, you should note
that the examiners/lecturers listed are for this year and may not have had anything to do with last year's classes. Courses also change. Thus some of the advice will be out of date.
3 4 5
We asked the lecturers to give their advice too. A wise player would pay particular attention to what the person who marks your work has
There were some comments that were SO common that we didn’t bother to repeat them in the following list (except for when we did). These are:
• Go to classes.
• Go to labs & tutorials.
• Take notes.
• Do all the assessments.
• Work hard.
Now, we realise these sound a little obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people ignore this advice.

to say.
We warmly suggest that you read the helpful guides to studying provided by Library, Teaching and Learning. You can find these on their homepage, ask for help at their service desk and even book yourself in for one of their highly informative courses.
It's important to remember, we didn't write this advice so don't shoot the messenger!

• Start memorising numbers from the start. It’s expected in the exam. • This course gives you a good understanding about the science of dairying in New Zealand. Lacks a practical angle as you wouldn't be able to manage a farm based on this. • Make sure you have a basic understanding of dairy

Buy or rent the textbook, even if it's not required. • There is not as much genetics involved as is implied by the course outline.
• Print out the notes on line before the class and then you can add other notes that you catch on the paper so you aren’t hurrying to try and write all the notes instead of listening to the lecturer. Make sure you attend the lectures as the content is quite hard to understand if you are just trying to read the slides. • Make sure you are familiar with the material from ANSC105 course. • Learn how to use excel really well, buy the recommended text and do the assignments before the due date!
• If you’re not sure about what is required for an assignment or what something means in one of the lectures make sure to ask as all the lecturers are happy to help. • Read the textbook before you start studying this course. Caclin Issue 1 | 23

once covered in class. • Lecture notes are really helpful. • This is hands down one of the most practical electives I have chosen throughout my studies at Lincoln. The course gives a pretty in-depth insight as to what happens in project management and both assessments encourage us students to apply project management techniques to real life projects. The lecturer is really interesting, clear and lectures are really interesting. • Get a project earlier on, as very hard to get something that will work and can get all information on.
• I have found the Library Courses and workshops really helpful
• Provides a good overview of project management. Spend a decent amount of time on the second assignment and pick a project with lots of information available.
• The tests are laid out really well with two on the first term's work and two on the second term's work (including the final exam). This reduces our stress around exam time because we only need to revise one term's worth of work in depth. • Tutorials are really helpful. Even if you think you have a grasp on things, it's still helpful to attend. • Print out notes before the lecture so that you can actually listen to the examples of the concepts rather than
COMM110 The Global Business Environment Examiner – Anthony Brien • Do the related readings. • Keep on top of your work.

Work with as many people as you can find. If you do so you will not have a problem with your assignment.
worrying about jotting notes down. • It is very important to revise their notes, do tutorial exercises and read the text book as it will help you do well. • Use all of the resources that are available to you. They are all there, you just need to use them. • Be prepared to just get through the first term, then the second term is better. • This course is relative to the 'real world'. Having a basic understanding of economics will be beneficial to you in everyday life. • There is a lot of content to learn and all lectures should be attended.
• Understand the idea of a global business environment.
• Do background info on economics and know basic ideas.

and objectives. • Pay close attention and attend every lecture even if it’s online because there is a lot of content to be covered and it’s hard to catch up once you get behind. • If you put a lot of work into assignments, it will pay off. • Do online quizzes and read chapters. • It is well structured through the lecture power points; easier than you think to take notes in this subject. • Read the text book before attending the lecture. The lecturer is quiet relaxed and flexible. • This course requires strong report/essay writing skills and standard material research skills. • Don't leave formal quizzes till the last minute! Ask as many questions as you can as he is very helpful. Do all the assignments, and don't start a week before its due, start earlier as they can be difficult and time consuming. • Try keep up to date with news and the lectures.
• Do the quizzes and tests. • The text book is unnecessary, just use the lecture notes, they are very good! • Do the readings weekly! Don’t leave it all to do in the week before exams. • Watch the recorded classes online after class. They are helpful. If you don't understand a concept in class the book helps put it into context. • Very enjoyable class. • Having a basic understanding of economics prior to studying the course would help. • Give your all, the semester goes super-fast! • Always do the quizzes, always go to tutorials, these 50 minutes once a week are imperitive! • It’s not too hard, just stay up to date with the content because it all interrelates. • It is based on common sense, so if you can engage thoughtfully with the world around you and apply it in economic terms, you'll be alright.

• Buy the handbook at the shop and bring this with you to lectures and write all your notes in this. If you sit too close to the front he'll put you on the spot and ask you questions that chances are you won't know the answer to. Attend all the tutorials as these are very helpful. The textbook is not 100% necessary although it will help when it comes to answering short answer questions in tests and exams. • Don’t worry too much, 70% of the tests and exams are maths! • It is a lot more number based than the course description suggests. • Interactive communication with tutor is important. • Do the tutorials, they are very very important.

Make sure to think about the bigger picture and link ideas together. • It is a course that gives understanding at a global perspective. For my case I understood the impacts of land use change on the environment. • Show up to all lectures, there is a lot of broad content which covers a lot of information and it’s kind of hard to follow so it should be made sure that it is clearly understood. • This course gives an overview of what the big challenges

Define or write down Maori words with their definitions during lecture periods. • Make sure you attend lectures. Apart from free chocolate fish, the lecturer gave very helpful hints as to what might be in the exam. • It makes a big difference going to lectures.

Go to the lectures and take thorough notes at them as it will also help you in lectures. When doing assignments it is very beneficial to go and see the lecturer about what you could improve or include as it helps you to get a better grade.
MGMT103 Primary Industry Systems Examiner – Tony Bywater • It’s more about farm management than about farming industries. • Go over notes and revise.
• Start the financial budget early and spend a lot of time researching and preparing for it. • Ask for help if you need it. • Structure your notes from the learning objectives provided, makes it easier when final exams approach.
• It is good to enhance farm management skills. • Has some interesting information. • Go to guest lectures, they have good presentations. • Start report assignments and all projects early, they can sometimes be more work than you expect • Attend field trips and always try to ask questions if you do not understand anything. • If you have previously studied agriculture at school you will find this course easy to understand and get your mind around, heavy content based course.

"Overheads for the course are on the learn site; print them off before the class and use them to take additional notes. Don’t expect to remember everything without taking any notes, because you won’t. If you can’t get to one of the lectures, arrange beforehand to get a photocopy of someone else’s notes on the overhead printout.
MGMT214 Horticultural Systems Examiner – David Shillito • Take notes and listen in the field trips. • Do some extra readings. • There are a few field trips and they are very interesting.

MGMT316 Farm Management Analysis and Planning Examiner – Bruce Greig • Time management is critical. • Start on the reports early as they take a bit of time. • Make sure you listen and take notes regarding budgets in MGMT 201 & 202. • Be aware that the assessments require a lot of time. • Do a lot of reading and research in your own time. • Look at the previous exams on day one so that you can learn the required content on your own. • Ring your Personal Farm Study (PFS) farmer as soon as you can and meet with them straight away. On your first visit go for a drive with your farmer and ask questions to get a feel for the farm and the farmer and then schedule another visit to get the answers to your questions (for the assessment) OR do both of these visits together if the farmer has time. • Go to lectures as there is often hints for the exam. • ATTEND THE LECTURES!!!!! It is interesting if you listen. • A lot of similarities with MGMT201.
• Make sure you ace internal assessments and turn up to lectures. Know how to use excel beforehand. • Start the 50% assignment early. Learning your way around excel early on would be very helpful. • Go to the lecturer if you need help even if you think it is a silly question as she is awesome at explaining complex 'things' in a simple way. • Having a good relationship with the lecturer really helps! • Print out the PowerPoint slides before the lecture as the information given to you in class that is not on the PowerPoint slides is really beneficial and the lectures are quick so there is often not enough time to write the PowerPoint slide down as well as the information that is getting talked about. • Attend the lectures and tutorials !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the material resource book. Better to follow than the lecture notes. • Figure out what your major project is going to be before you start the minor ones. EXAMINER’S COMMENTS
"Come to the lectures and tutorials, and start working on your Major Project EARLY."
• Start the PFS early- it creeps up real quick.
PHSC101 Chemistry IA Examiner – Niklas Lehto • The lecturers are there to help, if you’re unsure on a something, ask. • High school chemistry is definitely needed for understanding of the course. • Do lots of practice on the questions. • Take all the support classes as they are really helpful • Use online resources to teach you the topics that aren't covered well in the course.

FROM THE EXAMINER
"PHSC101 is one of the first courses that the students encounter when coming to University. In the first lecture the students will find themselves sat amongst 200-odd

anybody have any questions”, rarely does anyone put their hand up. And this is of course understandable – the risk of looking silly (in front of 200 other students!) is not the worth the benefit of knowing the answer to something that might be totally elementary. Chemistry, however, can be challenging – for many people it is like learning a completely different language about neutrons, equilibria, aldehydes and tertiary structures. Even the word “base”, isn’t basic anymore! If you don’t keep up with the lectures, it can be very difficult to catch up on your own, and before you know it, you’re dozing off in lectures because you can’t follow what’s going on and from there the road to failing the course paves itself. Revisit the lecture content in your own time and test yourself with example questions, and if you find that you don’t quite understand something, ask your friends. If they don’t know either, then all of you need help! The PHSC101 lecturers are here to assist you. In addition, we have a highly capable, friendly and approachable tutor in Dr Janet Bertram (who was once a PHSC101 student herself!) Seek us out if you’re feeling lost! It is our job to help you to come to grips with this subject, but this is much more difficult for us if we don’t know what you don’t know! More than often, it will be a five minute chat to get you on the right path and suddenly everything makes sense again. Better still, often after you’ve asked a lecturer a question, you will find that they revisit the topic in a later lecture – now they do know what you don’t and many other students will be quietly grateful to you.
• You will go back over a lot of the geology aspects as they are all linked together so as to not get overwhelmed by how much info it being given to you. FROM THE EXAMINER
"Talk to the lecturers and tutors; they are there to help you and want to do so. They are nice people! Really! So there's no need to be scared of them. If you are having problems understanding course material then sort them out quickly, as material presented later in the course builds on learning from earlier on. Discuss ideas and concepts with your fellow students, as well as staff; form study groups with your peers, which can help to improve your social life as well as your learning. Try to cultivate good time management skills. If you struggle with this then seek help. If you work consistently throughout the semester, seek help early on, and don't leave everything until the last minute, then you should find that this is not a difficult course. We teach this in an integrated way – don’t expect a block of ecology then a block of earth science lectures! The nature of the course is how earth science and ecology are linked together, so the teaching staff will use a “roadmap” to show how the different lectures fit together. This course might seem daunting at first, especially if you have not done much science at high school. We understand this, so if you attend lectures and labs, do the reading and ask questions, this will really help your learning."
The two most important pieces of advice: (1) don’t let yourself fall behind and (2) speak to your friends, lecturers and tutor if you do. If you don’t want to do it in front of 200 other students, that’s fine! Catch us before or after the lecture, or Email us to arrange a meeting some other time!

Caclin Issue 1 | 33
PLSC204 Plant Production Systems Examiner – Derrick Moot • Attend all lectures and labs and study lots for the first test as it is very hard to pass. • Ensure you read all the readings provided as they will make a lot of difference to your grade. Go out of your way to see the lecturers and talk to them to ask questions - be proactive otherwise you will not do well. • Read the extra material on Moodle and recommended pages in the text book! • It is extremely relevant to any degree involved with Agriculture and I would highly recommend it. • Go on the field trip, even if it is optional go to the lectures as Derrick Moot doesn’t put the lectures online! • Take note of references, tables and graphs, and be prepared to use them to quantify examples. EXAMINER’S COMMENTS
"The first test has about 30% pass rate because students
don’t attend class and do the required reading."
PSYC101 Introduction to Psychology Examiner – TBA • Print notes for the next day's lecture. • Keep iPhone or other devices in pockets .... They might disturb others. • Always ask questions if you have them. • Have no worries on studying this paper, because it is basic, well instructed and questions are reasonable. • Refer to the lecture notes more than the textbook, because the lecture notes have emphasis on what will be

• Try get notes from previous years and learn off that. • It’s good, nobody fails, turn up to class. EXAMINER’S COMMENTS
"This year, the main points of the lectures will be available
online and as hand-outs at the relevant lectures, thus,
Writing during lectures will be greatly reduced compared with previous years, however, The statistics analyses required for Assignment 2 will be taught in computer rooms. I will cover the statistical analyses twice for the whole class and will run extra tutorials if required. The course has a very strong recent/ current research base. The pass rate and average grade for the course are high."
Caclin Issue 1 | 34
QMET306 Experimentation Examiner – Simon Hodge • Learn previous years material in QMET. • Take PLSC320 at the same time. • Look at exam questions early but more importantly GO TO EVERY LAB.
RECN344 Event Management Examiner – Joanna Fountain • Get involved in order to get the best learning possible. • This course has a strong focus on tourism and festivals. • Largely theory based.
RECN110 Concepts in Sport & Recreation Examiner – Dayle Kerr • Read the resources that the lecturer provides. • Do the online quiz and read the resources.
• Choose an event that interests you and one where you have easy access to information. • If you are a tourism student you will enjoy the content of the class, if you are a third year BSRM student heading towards a minor in event management the class is not as challenging.
• Attend the tutorials as they are often short but are useful.
EXAMINER’S COMMENTS
"The course is set up to allow students to get different
things out of the course, depending on their interests and background in event management and/or tourism studies. The project assignment in the course allows students to explore an event of their choosing (sporting, artistic, heritage, music) to extend their knowledge in this area."
RECN213 Event Planning Examiner – TBA • It is a course with a heaps of interaction with class members - the Gala day and practical activities (which were every Tuesday afternoon). This is great for hands on learning and creating networks. You don’t need the course book to get a B. • There is a large part that is group work. The time to prepare for this is limited. • It's an extremely interesting class that definitely is a hands-on practical class that requires involvement beyond book work. • Get on to the Gala Day prep super early. • Anything that is in a group you should at least get together earlier rather than later to brainstorm and organise. • Students have a lot of control in the direction of the class. Go in with a positive attitude to make it fun. • Learn how to work in a group effectively. • Work hard in the early weeks of preparation and planning for your Gala Day, it'll be of massive importance. You should be prepared to take a leadership role if available on the day. • Have a creative mind when planning and be well organised. Participate in group activities and help out with the gala day plan. • Time management is key.
SOCI116 Society, Culture & Economy Examiner – Koji Kobayashi • It is of relevance to the course you are doing. The course outline does have a good description of the topics. • It's not a class where you can sit back and just absorb the content. It's a class that you need to think about the concepts deeply and apply them to life to take full advantage of what is learnt. • Go to tutorials and Pass sessions to keep up and learn material. • Read the chapters. • The textbook is very helpful on filling in what is missed in lectures. • Do the readings before class to familiarise yourself with new theories so you can follow the lectures. • Write down notes for which people have which theories. EXAMINER’S COMMENTS
"It is recommended to purchase a textbook as many
parts of the course involve its content. It is expected that students read a weekly assigned chapter before each lecture and supplement learning from lectures. Generally, lectures do not review or repeat what is written in the textbook but build on and expand the understanding of theories and concepts used in the textbook. The course tests and trains a range of your academic skills including reading, test/exam preparation, critical Caclin Issue 1 | 35

thinking, application of theoretical perspectives and oral presentation - these are necessary to be successful at a tertiary institution. In order to pass the course, it is essential for students to fulfil all the requirements and make their deadlines. Please remember that the examiner, teaching assistant and PASS leader are there to help you and support your learning throughout the semester. So, don't hesitate to ask for a help, especially if you feel you are a bit lost!"
SOSC021 Soils and Soil Management Examiner – Roger McLenaghen • Excellent course, fantastic and inspirational lecturers. • Always ask questions if you’re unsure.
SOCI204 Research Methods Examiner – Tracy Berno • A good and very useful class for many aspects of your future working life. • It is all group work and can be very time consuming. • Even if you don’t attend lectures, read the lecture notes, they will tell you almost all you need to know. • Make sure you know the people you're going to do the group work with. Be prepared to "question" everything
• Get involved and have a good time. • .Enjoy it. It was a course I was unsure about prior to starting but the course delivery far exceeded my expectations. • Will encourage my friends to take this course. It is all about knowing the natural environment and how go about with it. • Don't be afraid give it a try and ask questions. • Have a go at saying hello and having a talk to the lecturers, they can be very interesting to talk to.
you do in terms of thinking, why did we do this? Did this help? Could we have done this differently? • Choose the right research group and make sure you research something you're interested in. • Go to all the important lectures. Get your posters done well before the due date. Choose a good group (like I did) to do your research with. Research a topic that you actually find interesting. • It may seem boring at first, but pick the right topic to research and it can very fun and quite rewarding. • If you work well as a group the assignments are easily completed. • It's very hard to catch up if you're behind. Read the text book, it’s very handy and eases confusion of the whole research process with better understanding of the process.
SOSC340 Advanced Soil Management Examiner – Jim Moir • Go to all labs and don't leave overseer until the last minute • Lectures are interesting and great • Not only get started early on the Overseer project but form a group, and remember you can always go to Roger with questions. It really is achievable, some people finished it weeks before it was due. • Be papered to write some notes!!! And that there will be a lot of lecturers. • Study the past tests and exams.
SOSC342 Soil Resources Examiner – Peter Almond • Revise notes after lectures to keep up with the material. EXAMINER’S COMMENTS

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 23
You are a strange bird because you hold grudges about things that never actually happened. This may stem from the feelings of inadequacy resulting from being beaten out for first in line in the zodiac by Aries.
Danger. Excitement. Love. Hate. These are words which are often used in movie advertisements, but very rarely happen in your life. This month may be the beginning of a startling change for you.
Horoscopes LEO
VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23 You will overhear gossip today about your love life whilst you are on the toilet. You may have cause to damn your flatulent ways before you hear the really juicy bit.

They'll still deny your wishes but they may have an ugly step-brother who they reckon needs a "good seeing to".
SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22 The worst of the lot! You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. You are a perfect son-of-a-b*tch.
