7. Assessment
7.2. Professionalism assessment
As part of the final assessment tutors must complete a Professionalism Assessment on each student. Tutors are asked to give students formative feedback on their professionalism when they review progress during the year so students have opportunities to modify their behaviour before they are formally assessed at the end of the year.
FEEDBACK
Engaging with the feedback process is a key part of students’ learning and professional development. This involves learning about both the giving and receiving of constructive feedback and understanding how these feedback processes can support their own, and their tutors’, professional development as well as guiding the ongoing development of the placement.
Student feedback
Students will receive feedback on their submitted assessments and their professionalism from their GP tutor/s both during the placement and at its completion.
Students will be asked to submit their feedback about their placement experience at the end of the placement. This consists of both individual (JISC) and group feedback. They will be sent links to these feedback forms and instructions on how to complete these.
Students encouraged to approach their GP tutor and/or the unit convenors if they have any queries or concerns during the placement. Important issues e.g., lack of patient contact, should be raised as early as possible so that it can be addressed and remedied as soon as possible.
Tutor feedback
Tutors will be sent electronic forms to submit their marks for each assessment and to record students’ attendance; these will be sent out at the end of semester 1 and 3.
Tutors are also required to provide formative feedback to each student to support the develop of their reflective practice and overall professional development. This also serves to model the constructive giving and receiving of feedback to their students. This formative feedback can be delivered verbally and/or in a written format.
Tutors will be asked to submit their feedback about their placement experience at the end of the placement. They will be sent links to these feedback forms and instructions on how to complete these.
The use of informal feedback, to review learning experiences and ensure students’ learning needs and the placements learning outcomes are being met, during the placement is encouraged and can be collected as the placement progresses. For example, using Mentimeter to set up anonymous polls or Q&As at the end of each placement day or using post-it notes on Jamboard (or a real whiteboard if onsite).
