Students will participate in a singular, comprehensive, high-density, micro learning (variable; ~ 4 hrs/ week or ~60 hrs/term), In Field Learning placement with an assigned mentor. During this intensive in the field learning experience, students will become fully integrated into the work of their assigned Field Placement that will provide students with an intensive short term, hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study and lead to relatively independent work by the completion of the placement. Students will work towards contributing to their assigned field placement's capacity, critically assessing issues, designing, implementing and evaluating strategic initiatives, while at the same time gaining confidence and skills as a practicing professional under the direction of the course instructor and the placement mentor. Students will report back to the course instructor regularly i). proposed ideas and plans for work appropriate to the working environment that aligns with the settings mission, values, and workflow; ii). information collected and resources utilized that were needed to assess and complete work functions; iii) evaluation of what skill sets are required to complete work functions, and iv). judgements on whether their current skill set meets the identified work functions. Notes: Normally for students in their fourth year of study. Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to the micro in field learning experience.
