  • Assessment Information

  • Assessment 1: Identifying Learning Objectives

  • Assessment 2: Learning journal

    • As part of the assessment, you are required to keep a learning journal. The learning journal will count as 10% of your overall mark. 

      The purpose of your learning journal is to:

        • Help you keep track of your progress while you are on placement
        • Serve as a reminder of what you’ve achieved and what challenges you have overcome
        • Help you to identify strengths and weaknesses and areas for development
        • Assist you with writing your placement report and describing your professional and personal development

      For a learning journal to be useful, it needs to be updated regularly. You should start your journal within the first two weeks of your placement and keep it updated until a week or so before the report deadline.

        • In the first 3 months of the placement please keep your journal on a weekly basis
        • After 3 months you can continue to write it weekly if you wish to or you can change to writing it every two weeks

      For further details on learning journal please consult the DRAFT Module Guide.

      You have to submit your learning journal via the provided link until May 20th, 2024

  • Assessment 5: End of placement report

    • For the report, there are two items to submit:

      • The draft report – to be submitted to your line manager for clearance around  workplace confidentiality.
      • The final report – after your line manager has cleared your draft report for workplace confidentiality, your final report is to be submitted on QMPlus.


      1. The placement report should be maximum 2000 words in length, excluding items such as front page, acknowledgements, table of contents, bibliography and appendices (if included).
      2. Reports that fall outside this word count limit will be penalised as follows:
        • For every 100 words or part thereof that an assignment is over the word limit, there would be deduction of five per cent of the total marks available (i.e. five marks for an assessment marked out of 100).
      3. Your front page should state your word count excluding front page, acknowledgements, table of contents, bibliography and appendices (if included).
      4. We encourage you to take this as an opportunity to practise writing a succinct report; this is a prized skill at workplace.

      For further details on Draft and Final reports please consult the DRAFT Module Guide.
