Sandwich Placements: Improving the Learning Experience – Part 2

Seeks to assess the effectiveness of introducing action learning into sandwich placements. Builds on the rationale for, and organization of,the initiative established in Part 1 and discusses feedback from the main parties involved. Provides evidence that suggests that action learning could offer a solution to the problem of insufficient integration between the sandwich and the academic periods of courses and the danger that sandwich placements can become an excessively specialized experience. Concludes that the evidence is sufficiently encouraging to recommend further development of the scheme.
