2027 Handbook12 credit pointsLevel 5Sociology
Overview
This unit accompanies your internship placement and provides the academic framework for reflecting on, analysing, and communicating your professional learning. While the internship itself involves undertaking agreed tasks or contributing to a workplace project with a host organisation, this unit supports you to make sense of that experience. Regardless of the context of your internship, the learning materials and assessments in this unit will help you connect your disciplinary knowledge, your workplace experience, and your future professional development. Assessment is undertaken by Monash teaching staff and focuses on the quality of your analysis of your responses to workplace experiences and challenges. At the internship workplace, you will undertake tasks or contribute to a workplace project as negotiated with your host supervisor.
