Teaching and Learning Strategies
The student will be given a series of tasks with specific deadlines to be carried out during the module and will have access to learning materials and support documents that can be accessed as required. The student will have access to support both from the IT Sligo Placement supervisor as well as a mentor in their place of employment to support them in carrying out the tasks. The student will also carry out work activities as required by their employer. The student's activity will be monitored through the submission of weekly online journal entries, in which they will reflect on their work and learning, and on which they will be given feedback. Each task will also require a report to be submitted online on which feedback will also be given.
Module Assessment Strategies
The work placement will be continuously assessed through:
-
Weekly reflective learning journals.
-
Submission of reports on all tasks required by the IT Sligo supervisor.
-
Final report from the industry mentor which will include their performance on work-based tasks
Repeat Assessments
Students who do not achieve a pass mark in the assessment of the workplace may be required to re-submit specified journals and reports. In the event that they do not pass their mentor evaluation they may be given time at work to improve their performance and receive another evaluation.
