The student will be furnished with a continuous assessment record book (CARB) placement log booklet. This CARB booklet includes the student's code of conduct; supervisor's role and responsibilities while on placement; a record of student competencies and reflective practice journal. A feedback evaluation process will be implemented at mid way and at the final term for each work placement site. The student may be visited on work placement site by the work placement coordinator from IT Carlow as a part of work placement audit. The student will set out a work placement plan, objectives, discuss progress and identify potential problems with their supervisor. At the end of each work placement site, all students will fill out a work placement feedback appraisal report for each work placement site.
