Recenzii
A helpful guide for students to consult before, during and after their placements. The chapters are written in a very engaging style, both authoritative and friendly, so it is easy to put a great deal of trust in the advice being offered.
I also very much like the author’s little stories of how she has learned from her own experiences. They will help students think about their placement experiences in a new light or from different perspectives. Having the student narratives is very helpful in that regard, as they can learn from those experiences as well as having them to hold their own placement experiences up against.
This book contains good examples of experiential learning and the emphasis on workplace learning and the possibility to achieve a successful internship / placement is made very real. The narrative is most supportive to those anxious about their first placement.
