An individual reflection of 8,000-words that will be based on Professional Placement 1 (LOs 1-2)

A 15-minute Oral Presentation of the individual reflection followed by Q&A (LO 3)

In this module, you will reflect on your 1-year professional placement (professional Placement 1). You will have the chance to expand on the work you have done in previous modules and apply the learnings in your written reflection about the work-placement.

The 8,000-word reflection piece will be written using an academic reflection model. This will be followed by

a 15-minute individual presentation on the same (within 1 week of submission of the above).

This module enables students to document and critically analyse their experiences from Professional Placement 1 in a reflective logbook, fostering personal and professional growth. Assessment includes an 8,000-word reflective report and a 15-minute oral presentation, both aligned with the module's learning outcomes.

The nature of this module is that the experiential and simulated learning from professional Placement 1 will be applied in a reflective form. Formalised support (supervision) will be provided throughout the module.
