WAP Initial Report - Updated

Dear Students,

Your initial report is due on the 15th June 2009. Only ONE copy is to be submitted to the FBEPS clerk's office (NOT to your supervisor) to be officially stamped. The report (about 1,000 words) should include, but not limited to:

• a description of your host agency (organisation)
  
• the history of the organisation
• the structure of the organisation
  
• an outline of work/project to be undertaken

You DONT have to follow the final report format but make sure it is organised. Remember, this is still an academic report i.e a normal essay report format is fine.

On the subject of project title and scope etc, this is subject to discussion and agreement between you, the host agency supervisor and faculty supervisor. Having said that, please do not rely 100% on your supervisors (enough of 'spoon feeding' please!!!). Be resourceful, creative, critical and independent. Do not hesitate to suggest any topics that you think is useful for your WAP and the host agency.

P/s: the WAP project need not be a new one. It could be an on-going project that your host agency supervisor has instructed you to be part of it. This is even easier for you in terms of project title, objectives, methodology (data collection methods), and analytical strategy. All you have to do is to carry on or focus on certain aspects of the project and get your faculty supervisor to agree and provide the academic input.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

The fundamental value of Work Attachment Programme (WAP) - MS4416 consists of extending the process of learning and development beyond the confines of the University into actual working environments.

WAP Objectives

The WAP therefore aims to enable students to relate and where feasible apply their theoretical knowledge to ‘real world’ situations and demands; accustom students to form work discipline and rigour which may vary considerably from those typically associated with undergraduate academic work; provide opportunities for students to develop an enhanced sense of responsibility and maturity, social skills and competence so that they can function efficiently and professionally upon graduation; enable students to enhance their reporting, communication and presentation skills; provide the opportunity for students to integrate different academic fields; create an awareness of the potential learning within mainly non-academic working environments and finally enable the Faculty of Business, Economics and Policy Studies (FBEPS) to maintain and develop links and cooperation with government departments and commercial organizations in ways that can help strengthen the academic programme to meet more closely with the development and labour power needs of Negara Brunei Darussalam.

WAP Duration

It is a FULL TIME course over a period of 10 weeks starting from Monday 18th May - Saturday 25th July 2009.

Course Description

The Work Attachment Programme (WAP) is an elective course which all 3rd Year FBEPS students may take during the semester break before their final year.
