[Hum-DIS] Important! Practicums for Semester 2 2009 units

[Glenn Pass]

Dear Students

 

This is an important email.

 

Are you enrolling in Information Studies 102 (Information Environment),
or Information Studies 302 / 502 (Information Theory & Research), in
semester 2, 2009? YES/NO

 

Are you enrolled in the Masters in Information Management (MIM),
undertaking the dual qualification in librarianship AND records
management/archives, AND required to undertake your second practicum
before semester 2, 2009? YES/NO

 

If none of the above, are you intending to complete your course this
year AND have yet to complete your practicum requirements?  YES/NO 

 

If you answered YES to ANY of the above then you are required to
undertake a two-week (for IS102) or three-week (for all others)
full-time practicum before the start of Semester 2, 2009, normally any
time from mid-June (after exams) until late-July. Students need to make
arrangements for leave from work and/or childcare in order to undertake
the practicum within these time periods. However, there may be some
flexibility for exceptional cases where it is not possible to undertake
the practicum full time or during this time. Please contact the
Practicum Coordinator as soon as possible should you have any queries or
concerns regarding these requirements.

 

Information regarding the practicum placements for Semester 2, 2009 is
available at:

http://humanities.curtin.edu.au/schools/MCCA/information_studies/practic
um.cfm

 

At this site you will find the:

 

1. Practicum Manual

2. Practicum Application Form

3. Curtin Insurance Form

4. Contact Details Spreadsheet

 

Please read the Practicum Manual very carefully, particularly the
section on 'Procedures for Organising Placements' as this provides
detailed instructions on the application process. You must complete and
return the Practicum Application Form (including a brief CV), the
Insurance Form and the Contact Details spreadsheet. It is important that
you read all instructions carefully and complete and return all forms
correctly so as not to delay the organisation of your placement.
Incomplete or incorrect forms will be returned to you for correction,
which may mean missing out on your preferred placement venue. 

 

Your practicum forms must be returned to me as soon as possible. The
deadline for submission is:

 

Friday May 15, 2009

 

The Application Form, CV and Contact Details spreadsheet must be
returned as email attachments to prac.infostud at curtin.edu.au. The
Application Form may be completed electronically as a Word document or
completed in hard copy and then scanned.

 

Please note: 

* The Insurance Form must be signed and therefore must be returned as a
scanned copy (if attached to an email), or by post or fax.

* You must follow the correct procedure for subject lines of emails and
file names of all attachments; this is outlined in the Manual.

 

If you wish to apply for an exemption from, or variation to, the
practicum placement based on your work experience, you must submit an
application before Friday May 15, 2009. Please refer to the 'Exemptions
and Variations' section of the Practicum Manual for the criteria and
guidelines for applications. If applying for an exemption, you must
enrol in the relevant unit anyway as there are other coursework
requirements to complete.

 

If you have concerns about any aspect of your practicum application, or
are unsure whether you need to undertake a practicum, please do not
hesitate to contact me at prac.infostud at curtin.edu.au

 

Regards

 

Glenn
