Assessment Information
Examination 100%
Combined assessment methods including essays, short answer tests, multiple-choice questions, case reports, 360o feedback and work-based assessments are employed throughout the course. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and Structured Clinical Operative Tests (SCOTS) are used to determine clinical ability and progress, and a logbook of clinical work is kept which contributes to a personal portfolio and is assessed at the end of each semester. There are examinations at the end of each semester which must be passed satisfactorily before any student is permitted to continue to the next phase of study |
