Introduction to the Learning Agreement

The NR 621 Learning Agreement is a formal document designed to guide students in their practicum experience. It outlines specific goals, plans, and self-evaluations related to course outcomes. The agreement must be reviewed weekly with a mentor to ensure continuous progress and necessary revisions. At the end of Week 6, students are required to evaluate their success in achieving their goals with their mentor’s signature.
