They work if you are ahead of them and they punish you if you are level with them. A five-week block ends before a normal term finds its rhythm, and a week lost to parents' evening or a staffing crisis is a fifth of the course. Drafting a week ahead from day one is what absorbs the unpredictability of a school term.
Because ACE's coursework asks you to analyse your setting and design something implementable there, and your markers teach for a living. Grade level, subject, population and the particular constraint you work under are what make the difference between a passing paper and a strong one. Generic classrooms are recognised instantly.
An applied doctoral project aimed at a real problem of practice rather than at generating new theory, judged largely on whether the intervention was sound and what actually happened. It does not fit inside a five-week block, which is why treating it as another course is the standard way to lose a year to it.
Often yes, and the consent question is genuinely awkward when your participants are your own students or your colleagues, because the power relationship affects whether consent is freely given. That is solvable, but it needs solving before the design is fixed rather than at submission, since the answer sometimes changes what you can do.
Yes, and most students here do exactly that. The usual pattern is handing over the block that collides with something immovable at school and keeping the coursework connected to what they actually wanted to learn. If the weekly threads were the real problem, taking only those is cheaper and usually sufficient.
