Managing Underperforming Trainees (MEDS90014) // Assessment

Additional details

• 1,500 word essay, due mid semester, (30%). This assessment examines students’ ability to reflect on and rationalise their skills in the hurdle assessment.
• 3,500 word essay - design a learning activity for an underperforming trainee, due end of semester, (70%). This assessment provides an opportunity for students to develop learning activities for an underperforming trainee. Like the hurdle assessment, the students’ knowledge and skills from subjects 2 & 4 will be extended. It is also an opportunity to draw on content covered in elective subjects.

Hurdle Requirement: Experiential - students complete two exercises in the provision of support for underperforming trainees, due on study day. The aim of this assessment is to provide students with an opportunity to provide verbal and written feedback to an underperforming trainee. This extends skills explored in Subject 2. The high stakes of the consequences for ‘underperforming trainees’ means that students must extend their knowledge and performance of skills from Subject 2.
