| Module Content |
Students will attend two sessions, one before their professional placement and one after.
In the first meeting, students will be instructed on the Department’s system of professional placements and the expectations that are made of them during their time in placement. They will have to demonstrate their understanding through small group work on the relevant forms, contained in the Department’s document “Modular Scheme of Professional Training: Work Placements & Study Placements”.
In the second meeting, students will once again be asked to reflect on their experience, and work in small groups to produce brief summaries of the main elements that they feel they have learnt. |
