Considerations in presentation.
Students who have completed two 40 hour placements can choose to reflect on either or both of their placement learning and experiences. Make sure you are clear about which placement you are referring to in your discussion however
This reflective assignment can be written in the first person to account for the fact that students are discussing their own professional and/or personal skills acquisition
Students should offer some reference to the literature based on the skill acquisition they have identified. Students are expected to reference appropriate literature to support the relevance of such skills for use by professionals in their identified field
Please use template provided and expand cells as required. Word counts offered are approximate and therefore students have scope to add more or less words in each area but are advised to take into account the weighting of each section
Examples provided must be taken from the students ‘Placement Validation Form’. This form must be submitted to MetHub to validate and confirm the student has completed the required 80-hour placement. Failure to evidence this, will result in a fail
Students are advised to select 3 skills maximum to reflect upon. Please duplicate template for required number of skills
