Assessment
Description | Timing | Percentage |
---|---|---|
Oral Presentation. The aim of this assessment is for students to present and apply an educational theory to surgical education.
| Mid semester | 30% |
Essay. The aim of this assessment is for students to explore in some depth a key issue in contemporary surgical education (choice of three essay topics), to use resources for supporting their arguments and to practise writing skills in a scholarly activity.
| End of semester | 70% |
Reflective writing. The reflections will document the following: reactions to reading educational theory; what is easy and why; what is hard and why; how does it align with your ideas about theory (usually shaped by biomedical science notions of theory). This hurdle requirement will prime students with concepts and language relevant to theory that informs educational practice. Reflections will be used as a basis for discussion in the workshop in the first session. Students are required to read the essential references and write reflections (1000 words). Students must demonstrate a genuine attempt at addressing the requirements of the task. This assignment is due prior to the workshop.
