Indicative Assessment

Students will work with an academic supervisor to discuss tailored learning outcomes for their placement, as well as workload and assessment pieces. Although the requirements will vary depending on the length of the placement/workload, all participants are expected to undertake the following assessment:
  1. Reflective journal 20% (LO 1,4)
  2. Research paper, 5-7000 words 80% (LO 1,2,3,)
Internship research papers are stand-alone documents for assessment by academic standards.  The reports are not documents which have been drafted by interns as part of internship work requirements.  However, such documents may be used by interns to inform the research paper.  

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Workload

The self-sourced internship should provide a minimum of 130 hours assessment & internship combined.
