Students can only enrol in IBL programs after they have satisfied selection criteria established by Monash in conjunction with its industry partners. Selection is competitive and based on a combination of academic merit, quality of application, a preliminary interview by Monash staff and finally an interview by staff of the organisation offering the IBL placement.
The length and timing of an IBL placement is determined by Monash staff in consultation with representatives of the industry partner. Work assigned to IBL studentsMonash expects IBL students to be assigned graduate level work and it is important that you give your IBL student a range of different tasks and learning objectives during the period they are under your supervision. It is also important that you assist the student to achieve the goals set for their placement by providing clear direction in relation to your expectations and clear feedback on their performance. IBL students are required to keep a reflective journal and we expect them to share their experiences and feelings with you as part of their personal developmentConductMonash IBL students are bound by a code of conduct that sets out minimum expectations for their behaviour during their IBL placement. A copy of this code signed by the student assigned to you is included in this unit guide (page 6) and will be placed in the students’ portfolio.Portfolio IBL students are required to maintain a comprehensive record of their experiences during their placement in their portfolio. From time to time they may ask you to review some of the entries they have made and to comment on what they have written. This is an important part of their learning experience and we ask that you provide them with honest feedback. This will assist them to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to develop strategies for addressing areas where you believe they need further development.Requirement to attend MonashWhile we will make every effort to ensure that IBL students are able to focus on activities directly associated with their placement, there are occasions when they will be required to attend Monash for some events that include the Induction session at the beginning of the student’s IBL program and the Oral presentations that occur at the end of the placement. These dates will be identified by the student well in advance of the event.Weekly Reports:Students are required to prepare weekly reports for you stating what they have achieved in the past week and their work plan for the following week (where possible and where appropriate).Mid and End-placement evaluationsTwo of the key activities we ask you to undertake in your role as IBL supervisor are the mid and end of placement performance evaluations. These evaluations are designed to provide students with feedback on their performance to date and suggestions for further improvement. The criteria for assessment includes (where relevant):Interest and energyDependability and work outputOrganisation and planningOral communication skillsWritten communication skillsListening skillsPresentation skillsTeam workCritical thinking, creativity and problem-solvingPersonal development in response to mid placement evaluationOptional – supervisors choice (adds relevant criteria not covered in listing above)University and Faculty Objectives (Optional)Being critical and creativeDemonstrate global and ethical awarenessDemonstrate discipline knowledgeAble to integrate discipline knowledge with other disciplinesIndustry supervisors (if they wish) may nominate additional areas for assessment and these should be discussed with the student’s Monash Supervisor during the first placement visit.
