The Patches
Patches 1 and 2 are 900 words and patch 3 is 700 words. Each is a stand-alone piece of work, different from the others and not connected to it directly. The theme of each patch is related to developing practice through collaborative working. The final synthesis patch holds the previous 2 together by discussing themes and issues arising from them, and reflecting your own learning about developing collaborative practice throughout the module.
The final piece of work (patch 3) is an individual, reflective and analytical/synthesis piece of work about your engagement with developing practice through collaborative working. There will be preparatory learning activities in each student led seminar to stimulate you into writing your patches.
