were chosen, problems in devising the index, any
shortcomings of index layout.
Independent Learning Contract 40%

knowledge of that area. This contract may have involved
field experience or visits.
The contract will specify:
- aims and objectives for the student
- resources to be used
- evidence of achievement of objective (e.g. report and
presentation)
- criteria for evaluation of objectives - (including
dates due)
The contract itself was prepared and signed by both
lecturer and student in first semester, and assessed on a

contract (e.g. a report and presentation) will be
presented in second semester in Human Services 002, and
will be worth 40%.
