hi rob how are you getting on with your learning outcomes from pwbl?
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
Hi Stuart yes well I have come up with some outcomes and I have tried to make them specific to the placement I will
be doing and also split them into career, personal and academic fields.
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
What learning outcomes have you changed to make them specific to these areas?
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
Well for the personal aspect I came up with a learning outcome to find out exactly what is needed and required for the
day to day running of a gym within the leisure and fitness industry.
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
That sounds a good idea. That seems more specific to your placement. Have you made any more changes? That you
think you would help you before you take on your placement?
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
Yes well when I decided where I was going for my placement I decided to alter my career learning objectives from
more general to more specific for the industry I want to work in.
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
What ways have you made it more specific and what industry do you want to work in?
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
I have made it more specific by saying in my learning outcomes the area that I want to work on for example I said I
would like to work in the management area of the gym that I will go to for my work experience.

2. That is good I think that will help you more now you have updated your learning outcomes.
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
Thanks. How are you getting on with your learning outcomes?
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
I have also updated my learning outcomes from pwbl. I thought they weren’t specific enough either. I also added that I
wanted to work in the adverting section of the business in particular while I will be on placement.
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
That sounds like a good idea. Do you want to achieve from looking in the advertising section? Where have you decided
to go on your placement?
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
I have decided to go to city bloc an indoor rock climbing place in Leeds which looks purity good. I want to be able to
find out what techniques sports businesses use to advertise their business effectively.
20th June 2011
Robert Sonczak
Cool that sounds good is there any other outcomes you have changed?
20th June 2011
Stu Wright
Yes I also added a learning outcome of developing my teamwork while on my work placement as I feel this is a very
important skill
20th June 2011

26th July 2011

3. Stu Wright
Hi rob, yeah my work placement is going well thanks just been doing a lot of advertising work for a charity event that
cit bloc want me to advertise which is really good. This has been a great way for me to look at my learning outcome of
advertising. How has your been going?
26th July 2011
Robert Sonczak
Yes mine has been going well I have been able to get involved in a lot of the different areas of the gym that I am quite
happy about as I wanted to be able to look at the different areas of work that I am going to do. What have you been
doing in the advertising and how has this helped you develop personally?
26th July 2011
Stu Wright
That good I have been making flyers and emailing Headway a charity that city bloc has chosen to be the charity that
they will donate the money towards for the event. This has helped me personally as I wanted to be able to find out
what I needed to do in order to be able to advertise successfully like sports businesses do. Which area are you most
happy about working in and why is it that?
26th July 2011
Robert Sonczak
Cool that well good to be able to have the opportunity to do all that for city bloc. I’m most happy about doing work
with the management as I was able to shadow the owner of the gym through a marketing campaign.
26th July 2011

Hi rob,

4. How did you think your work experience went? Did you change any more learning outcomes after you finished?
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
Hi, yes well when I started I decided that I could alter my career learning objective from a more general one to more
specific about the actual processes that take place within the organisation like the shadowing of the marketing meeting.
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
Ok that sounds good making it more specific. How did you think this helped your personal development?
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
In terms of my personal development I feel it will give me a greater understanding of the skills that I already possess
and the skills which I must attain or develop in order to give myself the best chance of getting a job within the industry
I want to work in
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
Yes I think that would be beneficial that you were able to get that out of the work placement and feel you have learnt
from that experience. Was there anything else that you changed or found useful?
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
Yes I found the different areas that I was able to work in were useful because I was able to see all the areas that are
important in running a successful gym.
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
Yes that good how do you feel you have developed during the whole of the work based learning?
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
I feel that I have been able to work well in different environment and been able to perform well in different tasks in the
work placement. Also feel it’s been really useful actually doing the work placement for the experience of different roles
that are needed in the running of the day to day business.
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
Well your placement sounds like it was a really good experience that you have taken a lot from and you have
developed a lot of skills from it.
8th January 2012

5. Robert Sonczak
Yes thanks I think it was really useful. How did yours go?
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
I felt that my work experience went really well I was able to cover all my learning outcomes in some way during the
work placement which I was pleased about but the main ones I feel I achieved were the creativity, advertising and
teamwork areas.
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
Ah that sounds good. How come these were areas you felt you did well in?
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
Well I was able to do a lot on the advertising of the charity event such as having numerous meeting with people about
it such as business advisers and a university lecturer called Andy who said he would be able to help advertise the event.
I also emailed and was in contact with a lot of places that would possibly get involved in the event. I also feel that I
was creative in the way I was able to advertise as the emails and flyers looked very professional so my work supervisor
was very happy with that and my work supervisor also thought I worked well with all the members of staff.
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
Well that good you were able to develop all those skills. How do you think you will use these in future?
8th January 2012
Stu Wright
I will use these skills by working well in a team in any situation and try and be creative in overcoming problems. I will
use adverting after university as this is a job I would like to go into after university.
8th January 2012
Robert Sonczak
Nice one well that sounds like you have been able to get a lot out of the placement especially in the advertising section
