Assessment Strategy

Pass (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.

Merit (60 -69%):** Students will demonstrate a sound 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 quality, based on the module materials , but with some good evidence of wider reading and critical thinking.

Distinction (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 work within this category will show evidence of considerable wider reading and critical thinking. All completed assessment exercises will be at a high standard. Written work will be clear and concise, with few errors. Higher A marks require clear evidence of wider reading and critical thinking.

Learning Outcomes

  • Critically appraise approaches to assessing knowledge, skills/competences and professional behaviours in different contexts from selection to postgraduate and interprofessional assessments.

  • Critically appraise the principles underpinning effective assessment using theory and evidence.

  • Evaluate critically different assessment approaches and methods (written, practical, lab based, workplace based), standard setting and application to practice.

  • Synthesise and apply theory and evidence demonstrating self-direction, leadership and originality in application and adaptation of relevant assessment methods in their own context.
