MULT1025 Professions And Society Assessment 1
Assessment Details and Instructions :-
In the course of your study you may find part of your own life experience reflected in the course material or assessment tasks. Sometimes this can be challenging. We encourage you to consider the context of practice here and what this can teach you about your own future career rather than focusing on the experience of individuals in the system which may be more distressing. ACAP offers a range of supports, including one-on-one counselling, if you need to reach out and de-brief. Please also reach out to your tutors or the unit coordinator.
Process :-
