The course content shall include the following:(A) Requiring the student to produce credible appraisals that utilize an actual subject property;(B) performing market research containing sales analysis; and(C) applying and reporting the applicable appraisal approaches in conformity with the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice. Each assignment shall require problem-solving skills for a variety of property types for the licensed classification. Experience credit shall be granted for the actual number of classroom hours of instruction and hours of documented research and analysis as awarded from the practicum course approval process.
