Outline Of Syllabus
This module is a project based on independent study. Prior to any placement, students will receive in-house induction on specific aspects of community work and education specific to the placement’s target demographic. Thereafter the student will attend at the placement school, meeting the supervisor at ICMuS for monitoring on a fortnightly basis. Twice during the placement all the students will meet to share experiences.

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The literature review orients the student towards the practical placement and ensures that sufficient prior knowledge (from lectures and workshops) has been assimilated to ensure a successful placement.
Observation of professional practice allows students to be examined on the actual outcomes of their projects.
The report is an opportunity to answer research questions raised by the placement and previous literature review assignment, and allows for reflections on the practical work carried out.
