PHY115 Revised Sept 2013 Placement Assessment Guidelines Year 1 – The performance of the student on clinical placement is assessed by a clinical educator with the support and guidance of a visiting tutor from the university. There are five areas of practice that will be assessed. These are: I. Interpersonal skills and professional behaviour II. Organisation and management skills III. Patient/client assessment and examination IV. Implementation of physiotherapy practice V. Personal Development and Learning behaviour These areas are the same for each year on the programme but the learning outcomes and marking criteria will differ between levels. This booklet contains the learning outcomes and marking criteria for year 1 and is therefore only used for students at that level. The clinical educator awards a mark within the band, which best reflects the achievement of the student. The assessment system calls for a midway assessment that is formally recorded on the assessment form. The final summative assessment is the completion of the form on the penultimate or final day of the placement. All clinical placement assessments are marked with a grade between 0 and 100. All clinical placements may contribute to the overall degree classification of the student. You will note from the list below that not all grades within the 0-100 band can be used in the student assessment. The grading bands of the marks are awarded as follows and are reflective of the degree classifications: 72, 75, 78, 82, 85, 88, 92, 95, 100%: 1st class/ excellent 62, 65, 68%: 2:1 /very good 52, 55, 58%: 2:2/ good 42, 45, 48%: 3rd class/ acceptable 0, 5, 15, 25, 32, 35, 38%: refer/fail
