| Additional Information (Assessment) |
Assessment of the placement practice is carried out by the fieldwork supervisor, on a pass or fail basis, based on evidence of competence against explicit performance criteria which relate directly to the learning outcomes listed above. Each student will assemble a portfolio of material for use as evidence in this regard.
At the end of their Professional Practice experience the students will be required to report on an aspect of their placement activity, normally either a small-scale research project carried out during their placement, or work on a particular project or programme. The presentation will be equivalent to a 3000 word written paper. Students will make their presentation, reflecting on their learning across the programme as a whole, and respond to questions from a panel normally including both academic staff and fieldwork supervisors.
