Guidelines and Underlining Principles

• Our approach has a university transition feel.
• More student responsibility and autonomy for time planning and management.
• More student choice in when and how work is completed.
• A reasonable expectation exists that a student completes the equivalent of a notional 1.5 to 2 hours per night over 5 nights. This includes all set work – specific tasks, revision, reading, long-term assignment work journaling. This would be the equivalent of notionally 45 minutes work per 90-minute lesson.
• The assessment calendar is to be considered part of the information to inform weekly requirements cycle.

Framework

• Set work is planned on a minimum one week frame with the work to be completed by that weekly date.
• The program to have guide dates if necessary to assist organisation e.g. Exercise 1 Thursday, Exercise 2 Friday which would link with lesson content.
• The weekly date to be a regular cycle.
• The cycle to be negotiated, where possible, to balance with students overall program.
• Assignments, reading, journals, revision for assessment etc. to be considered holistically as set work within the plan.
