has anyone enrolled for the first intake at HKU for this course? - i didn't get on as the course was already full. for those that took the primary teaching stream of this course last year or currently, how long was your assessed teaching period? was it during both years of the course? thanks for any info you can give me.

No idea since no one will start their classes till September, especially since PGDE (ECE) is brand new.

As for PGDE (Primary English), avoid it at all cost! The lecturer is unbelievable! Well, what can I say except that she has no teaching qualifications nor primary teaching experience and it was two years of agony.

how long was yours assessed teaching period? were you told exactly when your lecturer was coming to your school or would they just turn up?

1 non-graded teaching observation in the First year and 2 graded observations in the Second year. Yes, you are informed ahead of time and you have to email/fax your lesson plan and teaching materials one week before the lecturer comes to observe you. Of course, you have to submit your teaching schedule at the beginning of every academic year.
