Professional Poster Presentation on Employability

An internship, reflective activities and two reflective assessments scaffolded students to create posters evidencing their employability, graduate attributes and their unique personal brand developed in workplace projects. Articulating their abilities, showing how they added value to current and potential employers, students demonstrated how these experiences can support future transition to their careers. Posters also showing their LinkedIn profile, career ambitions and skills assessments were displayed to industry representatives who provided feedback. Posters can be used as a resource during recruitment complementing a resume.

Unfamiliar Contexts in Invigilated Exams

SCIE1000 covers mathematics, computer programming, communication, science and modelling. The main goal is to help students see that similar tools and approaches can be applied in a wide range of discipline areas and contexts. So my goal was mostly to develop students’ abilities and confidence in transferring knowledge from one context to another context that may initially appear to be quite distinct, but in reality the same general approaches apply. This is important in this course because we teach students from all areas of science.
