Description

This is a capstone unit in which students are required to develop a body of evidence that demonstrates their mastery of the learning outcomes of their course. Students create and reflect on a portfolio of evidence that includes a cohesive series of documents and resources that capture their learning throughout their course. As students prepare to transition to employment, this unit requires them to showcase their learning and reflect on the capabilities they bring to the science community.

Prerequisite Rule

Must have completed 240 credit points in the Bachelor of Science - M04 Must be enrolled in the Bachelor of Science - M04

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Synthesise evidence of own learning.
  2. Reflect on and evaluate own learning.
  3. Identify job opportunities based on knowledge, skills, achievements and interests.
  4. Articulate knowledge, skills and achievements to a professional audience.

Unit Content

  1. Reflective analysis of skills and knowledge against labour market requirement.
  2. Methods of promoting professional skills and knowledge in the labour market in both written and oral form.
  3. Strategies in establishing professional networks both online and through live networking events.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Students, under the guidance of the unit coordinator, will take responsibility for documenting their own learning and professional outcomes through extensive review of the current employment environment. The underpinning learning process is that of independent learning in which aspects of the student’s learning experiences are reflected upon with a view to altering future behaviour, including academic and professional capabilities. Students will also attend workshops addressing specific issues relating to employability and applying for professional positions.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
