4. Assessment

Attendance

Student attendance is recorded at each placement. Tutors must inform us at the time of any non-attendance.

Placement tutors are responsible for student assessment.  There are a number of tasks that students should complete and get signed off while on placement.  If it is not possible to complete some of theses tasks in your particular clinical area tutors should substitute equivalent tasks and sign them off when students have completed them e.g. if it is not possible to interview a carer or relative of a patient students might interview a patient advocate or a member of the team looking after the patient about their role in supporting the patient.  

A case presentation and one piece of written work, the project report, will form the end of course assessment. Students will keep a reflective log of learning activities, but this will be for their personal use, and not for assessment.
