Course Description
In this course you will work in industry on a placement/ internship to advance your industry practice. The placement will be conducted face-to-face at a local, interstate or international workplace. You will demonstrate fashion and textiles knowledge through synthesizing your industry experience through reflection. You will relate the fashion and textiles strategies, techniques, materials and expressions you use to this industry experience.
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program learning outcomes not applicable to program option courses.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO 1: Critically analyse and discuss key characteristics and emerging issues of global practice in a fashion context.
CLO 2: Plan, develop and manage projects to meet client objectives, working collaboratively to achieve organisational and personal goals.
CLO 3: Evaluate and present project outcomes to relevant stakeholders and recommend future possibilities.
CLO 4: Reflect upon your personal and professional learning and critically analyse your contribution to the professional setting, making connections between academic knowledge and skills and practical applications.
Overview of Learning Activities
The format is based on a self-directed learning process. You will organise and manage your own placement in consultation with your lecturer. Your lecturer acts as facilitator, helping to guide you with appropriate resources and advice.
Specific learning activities will comprise:
• Pre-placement meetings and workshops as needed to establish the placement
• A specific time commitment of no fewer than 60 hours at an approved workplace. This may be undertaken as either a regular commitment throughout the semester or negotiated as a full-time intensive experience, provided such an arrangement does not impinge on your participation in other program commitments
• Post-placement meetings and/or workshops as needed to conclude placement and assessment activities.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
A list of recommended learning resources will be provided by your lecturer, including books, journal articles and web resources. You will also be expected to seek further resources relevant to the focus of your own learning.
RMIT Library provides extensive resources for fashion and textiles students.
Search the library and consult the Fashion and Textiles subject guides for more information.
The library also provides guides on academic referencing and assistance is available via phone, chat and email.

Overview of Assessment
You will be assessed on how well you meet the course learning outcomes and on your development against the program learning outcomes.
Ungraded course
Please note that this course is ungraded. That means you will receive either a Pass Grade (PX) or a Fail Grade (NN) on completion.
The assessment task percentage weightings give you an indication of the volume and significance of the work required relative to the whole course experience.
For assessment tasks due for submission during the relevant semester teaching period, if you receive a Fail Grade on work submitted you will have one week to address the specific feedback and resubmit for reassessment. For assessment tasks due after the conclusion of classes this option is not available.
To successfully complete this course, you need to have passed all assessment tasks.
Courses with a PX grade structure are automatically excised from the calculation of your Grade Point Average (GPA).
This approach to grading and assessment is aimed at ensuring each course is inclusive of student diversity and prior learning and capabilities can be developed as appropriate to your discipline and interests.
Assessment tasks are directly aligned with each Course Learning Outcome. They are as follows:
Assessment 1: Report (35%)
CLO: 1, 2 & 4
Assessment 2: Journal (50%)
CLO: 1, 2, 3 & 4
Assessment 3: Timesheet (15%)
CLO: 2
Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.
If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services ( https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-services/equitable-learning) if you would like to find out more.
Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.
