| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module provides the opportunity for students to engage with a practical project that is relevant to Events and/or Tourism Service Learning. Learning through Tourism and Events operations takes place in a range of tourism and events service projects. There may be some students who undertake to use interview or survey methods to gather information, these would be subject to the University Ethical Approval processes. The numbers of students taking this module may be limited. This is achieved through an application and selection process designed to ensure effective matching of student learning goals with project requirements in events and tourism. Students will engage with the project supervisor on average for 30 minutes per student per week over Term 1 and Term 2. Most of the learning will be independent study. The students will be expected to reflect on their own and organisational learning.
