Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

For the remainder of 2020, resulting from Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, any exams that are required for assessment in a unit will be online exams. Online exams may also use online proctoring to help assure the academic integrity of those exams. Please contact your unit convener with any questions.

While the University has made efforts to ensure that Unit Outlines reflect a unit’s learning activities and assessment items, any changes to Australian Government directives because of the COVID-19 pandemic may require changes to these during the semester to ensure the safety and well being of students and staff. These changes will not be updated in the published unit outline, but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Any changes made will continue to meet the unit’s learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus

The unit bridges and extends the classroom knowledge and the real working environments. It provides an extended intensive period where realistic and comprehensive understanding of the complexity of professional settings can be experienced. Students are required to extend their engagement in everyday workplace activity where they can examine theories and practices, and refine their own developing understanding of professional practice. The internship extension is a tangible link between the university and the workplace and benefits graduate employability.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the unit, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate the acquisition of work experience and transferable skills through extended engagement in the workplace;

2. Communicate, interact and work with colleagues;

3. Demonstrate engagement with authentic professional work problem solving by using methods and theories gained in the course;

4. Critically reflect upon and evaluate work practices, standards and cultures;

5. Evaluate own professional development towards graduate capability; and

6. Demonstrate the development of new skills and refine others.
