Pre-requisite: Students must have successfully completed a minimum of 16 units in their program of study.
ADCJ students are exempt from the 16-unit pre-requisite, but must have successfully completed EMP2030 to undertake this course.

Overview

Professional work experience allows a transfer of the student鈥檚 theoretical, practical knowledge, skills, and capabilities to the professional work place. The course enables students to apply their academic knowledge and skills in a practical context, and to reflect and report on the experience while contributing to a specific practical activity or initiative.

The purpose of this course is to give students the opportunity to experience the applied aspects of working in the area of their major study. This course aims to provide the student with experience in applying discipline knowledge and skills in the context of professional practice in order to strengthen discipline-specific learning and specialisation. The course allows students to gain a critical understanding of the role of reflection on learning and self-evaluation in professional environments.

Course learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. apply the concepts and theories of their particular academic major area of study to a professional workplace environment;
  2. engage in critical reflective thinking to appraise personal professional skills in order to create an individual portfolio of skills to represent their emergent professional identity and capabilities;
  3. identify skill development goals and placement learning objectives; develop strategies to help meet these; reflect on and assess achievements of these goals and objectives;
  4. apply critical reflection skills that enhance learning from and response to challenges faced and successes achieved in the workplace;
  5. utilise relevant professional/practice-based approaches to gain knowledge and effectively communicate in the workplace;
  6. analyse and critically reflect on how personal discipline-based practice relates to the collective and professional context of the workplace.

Topics

Description Weighting(%)
1. Topics covered in this course will be dependent on a student鈥檚 discipline area and the associated context and environment in which the work placement is undertaken. Learning experiences and outcomes will therefore be derived largely from the nature of the work placement within the context of a student鈥檚 discipline area. Generally, this course focuses on four parts:
  1. Student鈥檚 critical reflection on their experience in undertaking work place activities
  2. Student鈥檚 performance in the placement
  3. Context of the work experience
  4. Professional practice of the organisation and its relationship of the work experience to society

The reflections on a student鈥檚 own work practices and those of their Host Organisation is an important part of this course as well the feedback students receive from their Host Supervisor
