Student Assessment

There are three components to the student assessment for Medicine in Society: 

Student attendance is recorded at each placement.  Students should consider a placement day to be a work day and attendance is expected every day.  If you are unable to attend you must inform your tutor in advance and report your absence to the school via the MedSoc QM+ area. 

Tutors must inform us at the time of any non-attendance and whether the student informed them of this or if it was unexplained.  

Any student unable to attend must submit a self-certificate form to the University. (Available on QMPlus)

There may be occasions during the year when students have a progress test on the Friday after a MedSoc day; these tests are formative and students must attend their placement as usual. If tutors have any concerns about a student’s attendance, behaviour, health etc. they should contact the unit convenor as soon as possible. 

Repeated and or unexplained absences will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.  Students cannot sit the end of year exams until they have completed their MedSoc placement.
