ASSESSMENT DETAILS

Placement Logbook (20%; 1,250 words)

Logbook (def)

a regular or systematic record of incidents or observations.

“keep a detailed log of your activities.”

The Logbook is intended to encourage students to record and reflect on their activity and their progress in obtaining a placement and designing a learning experience.

The logbook will also enable the student to evidence and critically examine their own personal skills, knowledge and experience to support the process of applying for and planning the placement experience (LO1 & 2).

This logbook assessment consolidates an active semester of activity and is submitted a point at which you reflect on your progress towards securing a valuable work based learning experience in the sports industry.

By working steadily and logically through the tasks set throughout Semester One, and engaging in the process of search, you collect up experience and employability assets which you can then reflect on within this assessment, drawing upon academic literature where appropriate.

Your logbook should:

What is your long term ambition? What are your key skills, interests and experiences? What placement experience are you interested in achieving? What will you need to do to get this opportunity?
Examples of relevant job descriptions / roles, to allow you to evaluate your personal strengths and weaknesses in your written submission.
Who do you know and how could they help you to find opportunities in sport (for placement, and beyond)?
Original CV and updated placement CV, to allow you to demonstrate the progress you have made.
Master letter / email which details your key attributes and value to an employer.
Show screen shots of how you have built a profile on Linkedin.
What tasks have you done through Semester One (and before) as you seek a placement? (see suggested log template to record activity). Dates and details of meetings with your Placement Supervisor, Careers service or other key people etc.
A record of search and application activity (visits, meetings, telephone conversations, emails, Whatsapp). Copies of correspondence with potential host organisations.
