Use the English convention the programme requires.
Use the English convention specified by the institution and retain New Zealand terminology where the task requires it. Māori words, names and concepts should be written respectfully and according to current course guidance rather than altered to fit a generic language pattern.
Language review should improve readability without removing the student’s meaning or making unsupported claims sound certain. Useful checks include spelling consistency, sentence boundaries, terminology, paragraph flow, abbreviation definitions, captions and cross-references. A student should review suggested changes and retain a version history rather than accepting every edit automatically.
Presentation expectations can extend beyond grammar. A course may prescribe a cover sheet, heading hierarchy, line spacing, margins, page numbering, appendices or a specific file type. Tables and figures need readable labels and source information. The final exported file should be opened and checked because equations, fonts, page breaks and hyperlinks can change during conversion.
