Overview
The working life of the creative practitioner is dynamic and often unpredictable. Professional creative practitioners are required to respond to opportunities at short notice, apply their knowledge and skills in a range of sites and contexts, respond to the needs of industry or community, and work on diverse projects with complex transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams, all while simultaneously maintaining and managing their own career path. This unit helps you to transition to professional creative practice by providing you with opportunities to work on a range of creative projects in collaboration with QUT research lab, industry, or community partners. You will encounter diverse perspectives on advanced creative practice and will be provided with strategies for managing your time, resources and interpersonal communication. You will also receive rich professional feedback on how to maximise the creative, intellectual and professional benefits of project experience.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Recognise appropriate professional opportunities and how to communicate your distinctive knowledge and skill set.
- Understand the importance of time management and effective teamwork, and know how to use appropriate tools to assist with these.
- Work collaboratively in complex transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary project situations with diverse groups of people.
- Reflect meaningfully on project experiences in ways that assist your professional and creative development.
Content
In addition to project-specific content supplied by staff project supervisors, you will also cover topics such as: application writing; introductory project planning; teamwork strategies; time management; effective communication; scholarly reflection on learning; presentation strategies.
Learning Approaches
Learning in this unit is based around your engagement in industry-partnered creative project/s. Staff supervisors will conduct scheduled project development activities, however the bulk of your work on a project/s will be autonomously organised team work to achieve an outcome for a QUT research lab, industry, or community partner. Some projects may include fieldwork, temporary industry placements or shadowing, or working with community groups, and there is an emphasis on group responsibility for the timely completion of project work and project outcomes.
Staff will mentor you on how to align your developmental goals as a creative practitioner with available project experiences. You will then use a process of personal reflective practice to document and communicate how you have extended and adapted your own creative and professional capabilities through your work on the project/s.
Projects and individuals will be variously supported through a range of transdisciplinary learning activities focussing on topics such as advanced creative practice approaches and professional development opportunities.
The projects contained in this unit utilise a Work integrated learning (WIL) approach. WIL enables students to learn through engagement with industry and/or community partners in authentic activities that are strategically planned for, and assessed, as part of their course of study.
WIL activities have the following key characteristics:
- students engage with an industry or community partner
- students undertake authentic activities for industry or community
- students are assessed in relation to these authentic activities.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will be provided with formative feedback by your project supervisor/s and/or industry partners as you engage in project activities. You will also receive formal feedback for summative assessment items.
Assessment
Overview
The assessment items in this unit require you to: create a plan for your professional development; actively engage in collaborative project process and contribute to project outcomes; and document, reflect upon, and promote your skills as a creative practitioner. To complete the assessment tasks you will need to: apply and adapt your specialised disciplinary knowledge and technical skills; communicate, collaborate, and show professional leadership; and engage in reflective, self-determined learning processes.

This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Progress Report
Throughout the semester you will work as a member of a collaborative team towards realising a creative outcome/s for a community, research, and/or industry partner.

You will receive a mark based on your engagement with the project’s processes and the application of your disciplinary/other relevant skills.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Project Outcome
By the end of the semester your collaborative team will deliver the agreed outcome/s for the project/s you have worked on. You will receive an average of the grades awarded to the outcomes you have worked on.
Assessment: Critical Reflection
At the conclusion of KYB302, you will write a critical reflection that comprehensively frames your creative and professional development in the project with respect to relevant scholarly literature.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
