Monash University Handbook 2010 Undergraduate - Unit

Synopsis

This unit allows second year students to study in Korea at one of the universities with which Monash has formal agreements. Individual study plans based on Korean proficiency and the host institution's programs are negotiated with the coordinator. Students will normally enrol in a unit or units formally offered by the institution concerned, based on the study plan agreed to before departure. The workload for this unit will be not less than that required for a 12-point unit at Monash University and will normally be completed over approximately 3-4 weeks for intensive programs, or over a semester or two semesters when combined with other study.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this unit students will be able to improve their ability to perform in Korean in the Korean environment. The specific objectives will depend on the level of Korean proficiency attained before commencing the unit and the nature of the program at the host institution.

Assessment

Students will be required to bring back all written work completed in Korea for assessment and/or to sit for a competency test. Assessment will be conducted by Monash staff, drawing on assessments provided by the host institution and direct assessment of work completed and competence achieved.
