A typical learning contract as used in higher education is a formal written agreement between the learner and a tutor which details what is to be learnt, the resources and strategies available to assist in learning it, what will be produced as evidence of the learning having occurred, how that product will be assessed and within what time frame the learning will take place (Knowles 1975; 1986).

1. What are you going to learn this academic year? (what are the learning outcomes, what is to be learned?)

This year I would like to achieve a 2:1 for the year as I believe that would be a good start in going forward for the remainder of my two years at university. My main aim is to further my knowledge in physiology or in psychology this is because I would like to be a sports physio/massage or psychologist, in order to do this I will need to do my best in all 3 years.

2.What is the best way to achieve those learning outcomes? (activities, strategies, tasks, environmental conditions. Attitude, behaviours)

I think that the best way to achieve these goals is to have good attitude and beahaviour towards staff members and the course itself, so for example make sure you turn up to every lecture, seminar, lab session. Make sure that you also do what the ecturer has set you before you nect see them such as doing some reading or printing something off so that you understand the next lesson more and can engage more with what is being said and done within that time.

3.How will your learning and accomplishments being monitored?

These will be monitored by your lecturer when you come to do assignments that have to be in and they will be able to tell if you are putting in enough or effort or not pulling your weight because of the resources that you have that you can use, there should be lots of detail that goes into your work, they can also see on blackboard how many times you use that.

4.What are the roles and responsibilities of those involved in your learning?

The roles and responsibilities that you have are that you need to treat your peers and lecturers with respect. You also need to put in your most amount of effort so that you get the most out of the course and can achieve the best possible grade you can get. You also need to take everyones ideas in to consideration and accept wht they have said even if you do not agree with it as they may disagree with yours, but you have to be open to other ideas other than your own.
