5. SSCs: Rebranding the “SSC”
“SSC - Student Selected Component” has very little meaning
Title should reflect more of what the Unit / Students are doing
Floated Ideas:
Student (Self) Selected Research
Student (Self) Selected Professional Development
Student (Self) Selected Scholarship
The title can be for internal purposes only and can remain “SSC”
for external audit / appraisal purposes if desired

7. Need for Scholarship Skills
SSCs:
Need for Scholarship Skills
Students have little understanding of how to construct a written report
(e.g., review article, case report, audit report, research report, etc)
Some students capture the “flavour” of writing from the sources they read,
and some don’t. All students should have equal training / understanding.
In Year 1, students could spend the 1st week mixing researching their topic
with formal training on how to write a review, or humanities based paper.
This training could also provide intercalating and postgraduate students
a resource for better understanding of how to construct written reports
for their degrees.
