Rural Project offers students the opportunity to undertake project work that allows them to apply theory to practical situations of their choosing. Case study projects will be on an individual basis negotiated between the student and their supervisor.
All Rural Project case studies are subject to approval by Course Stream Coordinator.
Rural Project is offered at Level 3 and activities undertaken within this subject should reflect the School's expectation of subjects at this level. The subject may broadly be described as being student-driven. You are now capable of independent study, so it is appropriate that the lecturer plays the role of facilitator. As a Level 3 student, you will be expected to display significant higher order thinking such as evaluation and synthesis and other critical thinking skills.
No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2019.
