The student selects a topic which they have identified as significant to their professional development and is expected to spend twenty hours per week over the teaching period on completing the project on this topic. The primary purpose of the unit is to augment or extend your professional knowledge beyond classroom instruction, to develop applied research skills, to integrate learning with work, and provide an opportunity for self directed learning. In order to achieve these purposes, you will develop an individually tailored learning contract. The specific program of study will be developed in conjunction with and approved by the academic supervisor.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- This is an independent project unit and as such the learning outcomes of the project must be negotiated between the student and supervisor at the commencement of the semester and a learning contract established by the end of Week 1.
