Starting 1 August 2023, your experience with our SME Consulting Programme (SCP) will now be officially documented in your 'Co-Curricular Transcript'! Besides documenting activities, this Transcript offers insights into the skillsets that you have developed in the process.
With the learning outcomes established for our SCP, each is mapped to SMU’s Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs), each student consultant will now be assessed post-project, on each of the identified GLOs and awarded with one of these three levels of learning – Exposure, Integration and Transformation, with each level indicating a progressively more impactful experience.
You will be assessed via direct observation by your Project Manager, feedback from your Project Advisor as well as your reflection to be shared during the Final Presentation.
This progression of documenting your SCP involvement on your Transcript not only concretises your effort and involvement but also showcases your personal growth and learning!
