Students must enrol in ED4090 or ED4190 or ED4293 prior to the commencement of ED4488. Students are required to collect a range of data and evidence during the ED4488 professional experience placement which is integral to completing the assessment requirements for ED4090/ED4190/ED4293. Consequently, it is essential that ED4488 and ED4090/ED4190/ED4293 are taken in conjunction with one another. External offerings available only to ECE ONLINE students. (Professional Experience: The process of placing students for professional experience begins the year prior to placement. Transferring students or out-of-step students must notify the Professional Experience Unit on the relevant campus at the beginning of Semester 2 of the year prior to the professional experience placement.)
