It will be expected that projects are demonstrably relevant to the professional field of community education, broadly understood. This half course will normally only be available to students in the third year of the degree programme. It is an appropriate choice both for students planning to proceed to Honours and for students who plan to graduate with an Ordinary degree but nevertheless wish to take the opportunity to undertake independent work. Independent learning will involve a written contract through which the department and the student will agree the aims, activities, assessment criteria and assessment procedures for the course. |
