Comparative course results
Impact of the apprenticeship model
• Emphasised the relationship of content knowledge and thought processes to perform authentic task.
• Students benefited from the opportunity to collaborate, reflect and scaffold from members of their audit team.
• “The Hird & Co scenario made the course more life like and made the tough course interesting.”
• “It forces you to consider things differently to the way you would normally look at them and opens your mind to other possibilities.”
Impact of curriculum alignment
• Students appreciated the linking of all curriculum elements and were motivated to learn
• Facilitated a high level of active engagement and participation across all cohorts of students
• “I could appreciate how the weekly group tasks were building towards the assessment”
• “I can honestly say I have never learnt more in a subject and truly appreciate the structure of the course”
Concluding remarks
“I think that personally I have gained many skills and attributes from this task... It has been amazing to see through my journals how our team and myself as a person grew throughout this term.” Student T1 2008
