Overall I fell this module has benefited myself. Although it took a while before I could start my placement due to waiting on my PVG, my hours was completed in time. I think 30 hours is an appropriate amount of hours for the module, however it would be ideal to have placement sorted for the semester starting to organise such things as PVG so hours can be spread out over the period of time. That way I feel more skills and learning opportunities can be achieved.
The seminars for the module have been good, which you can take away information and benefit from them in the industry going for jobs etc.. Although I feel some of the things in the seminars could be done as a podcast and we could refer back to the information giving. That being said some things were more suitable being in class as it was practical based which could help in a practical setting.
Assessments for this module course blog, presentation and report are all beneficial. The blogs each week I found quite hard due to start placement later, so was unsure what to write in blogs those weeks, but one placement started I found it easier to write about things. Make comments on other blogs was also good, as you you got an insight to others placement aswell as how they were about placement, which you could relate to at times. The presentation for me I was extremely nervous about. I think if started placement earlier I could of put more into my presentation and would maybe be more relaxed presenting it, however from what I did do I can learn from it and make changes where needed for future presentations. The report not yet started however I feel I can benefit from it in some way, even if it’s just my writing skills.
