Student supervision: In spite of the fact that students will pick up fundamental information during the academic course, a significant expert practice is for the lecturer to impart more specific information and ability. Notwithstanding working close by the lecturer during an expert practice position, the cycle of oversight and accepting criticism gives an important occasion to students to develop and solidify their learning, and to set new objectives for themselves. To improve the communication between the student and lecturer, as practice educator, is the subject of this action- Target group-Junior Academics |
