Assessment

Students must pass all assessment requirements to obtain a final passing grade for this course.  Final grades will be determined at an examiners meeting and reported using the UC common grading system.

Attendance and Engagement (Campus)

Students are expected to attend all scheduled course sessions, actively engage with course content and actively participate in course activities prior to starting (preparation for PP) and throughout the professional practice in order to meet the learning outcomes for PP.  Insufficient preparation and/or lack of attendance in other courses prior to the practice starting may make students ineligible to undertake the professional practice.

Full attendance in an allocated school for the duration of the professional practice, for at least eight hours each day, is a requirement. Students will attend a debriefing interview with the PP lecturer after the professional practice concludes. This interview will be conducted at a University of Canterbury campus or via flexible delivery mechanisms.
