2 Dr D G Parbery. First semester At least 6 weeks practical experience on two or more farms; each period of farm work should last for at least two weeks. On completion of Vacation Work students should have some experience of life and work on farms, farming operations and planning, rural society, its structure and organisation, as well as the structure and operation of rural industries. A major objective is to provide practical experience which assists students to relate to subjects taught in the course. Practical experience should normally be gained on private farms, but other work connected with agriculture (on institutional farms, research stations and other enterprises as the Dean may approve on behalf of the Faculty) may also be accepted. Some credit may be granted for work done on family farms and with certain commercial organisations on written application to the Dean. Reports, which are marked to pass or fail only, must be submitted as soon as possible after the work is performed and in any event by the first day of the second semester of third year.
