Assessment Strategy

-threshold -thresholdPass (50 – 59%):Students will demonstrate a basic level of knowledge, understanding, and skills required for meeting the learning outcomes. Students will demonstrate a general level of understanding of the practical and theoretical perspectives and are able to make some references to relevant literature. For the critical analysis, students will have attained a basic knowledge of material contained in set texts or reading materials with the links between theory and own practice fairly clear in parts. Students will have satisfactorily completed essential assessment exercises. Written work will be acceptable but with a number of errors evident. -good -goodMerit (60 -69%):Students will demonstrate a comprehensive level of knowledge, understanding, and skills required for meeting the learning outcomes. Students will demonstrate familiarity with and the ability to apply a range of approaches, methods and conceptual tools. Self-reflection and practice improvement will be based on reasonable theoretical rationale. There will be evidence of attaining a sound knowledge of material contained in set texts or reading materials and undertaking wider reading. All completed assessment exercises will be at a proficient level. Written work will be of good standard only with some errors evident. Limited evidence of wider reading and critiacl thinking, work are largely based on module materials. -excellent -excellentDistinction (70% and over):Students will demonstrate a high level of knowledge, understanding, and skills for meeting the learning outcomes. Students will demonstrate a high level of analysis of own experience in relation to the theories and applications of the theories. There will be evidence of attaining an advanced knowledge of material beyond that contained in set texts and has done considerable wider reading. All completed assessment exercises will be at a high standard.Written work will be clear and concise, without errors.Higher A marks require clear evidence of wider reading and critical thinking.

Learning Outcomes

• • Critically evaluate the function of technology as an aid to teaching and learning facilitation in medical education.

• • Demonstrate use of technology in teaching
