Aims and Objectives
This class enables participants to apply aspects of their degree course in an industrial context and so to understand the complexities of commercial software development.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this class participants will be able to:
- Apply taught theories within an industrial context.
- Display an appreciation of good software development practices within their work place.
- Present their work effectively (e.g. through oral presentations, written reports).
- Demonstrate reflective work practices.
Syllabus
The nature of the personal development plans and e-portfolio of evidence will vary depending upon the participant’s working environment and will be identified through discussion with the participant, their employer and learning adviser. They will be expected to submit basic portfolio evidence and a reflective commentary associated with their evidence. Formative exercises will be used to establish personal development planning skills, such as objective setting. Participants will also be required to keep a weekly journal.
