Description of module content:

Apprentices will produce a synoptic report based on three substantial examples of work undertaken in their third year. These examples might refer to major projects that the apprentice has been involved in or responsible for. Alternatively, they might be related to different roles the apprentice has occupied. Other options may be discussed with the Module Leader.The purpose of the report is to integrate the learning from the selected activity into a coherent whole. To this end, the report must include a literature review of relevant current theory and practice, and must include a chapter of critical analysis and reflection. The starting point for the work is the selection of the three examples. The report should identify unifying themes which provide focus for later analysis and reflective discussion. On the other hand, an element of contrast among the examples would allow for a deeper and more wide-ranging treatment. Finding the right balance is the focus of the first part of the module.
