Student Assessment

Report

• During the University-based Induction Programme, students start to develop SMART Learning Targets. These will be refined during the first week of placement during discussions with the placement supervisor.

• Learning targets form the basis of a Learning Agreement and Action Plan which is the foundation of the student’s reflective report.

• Students are required to analyse and critically reflect on their approach to completing the work-based tasks and their performance in achieving the learning targets specified in the Learning Agreement.
• Students submit a written report at the end of the placement. They should not normally require time out of the placement to write the report.

SMART Learning Targets

Specific

Measurable 

Achievable 

Realistic 

Timebound

• Students will start off with brief task statements that are then turned into SMART Learning Targets. For example:

Task Statement

I wish to improve my presentation skills.

SMART Target

"Develop my skills and confidence in delivering presentations in professional settings so that by the end of my placement I will have designed and delivered a presentation to my manager and the team which reports the key recommendations of  my WBL project, and which is clear, well-structured and informative."

Placement Provider Appraisal

• You will have the opportunity to contribute to the student’s overall mark for the module.
• You will be asked to assess competencies such as contribution to the workplace, ability to manage pressure situations, initiative, adaptability, ability to get on with other staff etc.
• We will send you a Placement Provider Appraisal Form to record your assessment of the student.
• Marks for competency are converted into a corresponding percentage mark and incorporated into the student’s overall grade.
