Prohibited combinations: XP9004L Capstone Project
As this is a project where the student negotiates a topic which satisfies the learning outcomes, the online content is limited to materials relating to project design and implementation. While these are presented using appropriate online pedagogy; embedded readings, exemplars, and required preparatory tasks, the key teaching role is akin to supervision. The supervisor will arrange a learning agreement with the student which outlines the project, the staging of the task and the supervision sessions. It is anticipated that the student will meet or in some way interact with the supervisor for a minimum average of an hour per week (calculated on the basis of 24 teaching weeks in two semesters)
