Students said that assessment:-

"was the best way to be assessed for me"

"was useful on a personal level as well work level"

"built my confidence and cemented my knowledge in practice"

"gave me freedom to develop my own focus"

"the blogs are really stimulating and the diaries helped reflection"

APPLIED POST UNI (esp Masters and Post Grad)

"Following the experience and module I have written further reflective pieces of work in my masters and throughout my work as a social worker. It has a skill that has meant a lot and to me and helped me further and progress in my career"

MORE RELEVANT WHEN THEY LOOK BACK ...

"At the time I didn't find the reflective assessment useful, now I see the importance of keeping a research diary to look back on and use reflexively in write up"

"If I am being honest, I probably undervalued the importance of being reflective until reflective practice has become an every day thing for me in my chosen profession as a student social worker, I am constantly reflecting on my practice, looking at my own strengths and areas for development....... This module undoubtedly helped go prepare me for my current degree/career as it assisted my initial understanding of reflective practice and it's importance".

One of the best experiences of my life .....

"Learning was beyond the classroom" ..

How did applying methods in real world context aid understanding or impact either then or now ?

“It impacted a lot, prior to this I never really understood the enormity of methods throughout the research process”

“Applying methods in a real world context gave me experience no other module could offer. Classroom based learning of methods, although necessary, can seem mundane if they are not put into practice”

“Allowed me to further appreciate the value and importance of social research whilst broadening my understanding of different cultures”

“It was more extensive research than I carried out for my dissertation and was good practice for my MSc methods module this year”

Real world research

Interviews

Observation

Urban Tours

methods feedback not always very positive in Level 5

How did Sociology come alive ?

Sociology comes alive !

reflections from Fatima

"It was fantastic to be able to apply some of the theory that we'd been learning and put it into practice"

"it helped me to understand a completely different society and put in to practice what we were taught about the development of a society which in this case was a 'third world' society"

"Mainly from entering another society/cultural context and seeing that from an 'outsider' perspective. Has encouraged me to make a lot of comparison between countries and their social values, especially from a constructivist standpoint"

“Its much more interesting writing about things you've done yourself to apply theories to everyday situations”

"It was fantastic to be able to apply some of the theory that we'd been learning and put it into practice"
