Grading
Students are to be formally assessed twice during the rotation, at the midpoint and end of the rotation. The
midpoint and final assessment shall include active discussion between the Preceptor and student. Concurrent
review of the student self-assessment and Preceptor assessment is encouraged. The following definitions may be
used as a guide to assist with the assessment process.
Not Yet Addressed
This outcome has not yet been
addressed.
Midpoint Assessment
Needs Improvement
Student’s progress towards achieving
this outcome is unacceptable; student
still needs continued development in
this area.
Satisfactory progress
Student’s progress towards
achieving this outcome is
acceptable.
The purpose of the midpoint assessment is to assess student progression and/or identify deficiencies. Deficiencies
identified during the midpoint assessment should become an area of focus for the remainder of the rotation so the
student can successfully achieve the outcome before the final assessment. Preceptors must contact the
Experiential Coordinator if a student is performing unsatisfactorily (e.g. multiple “Needs Improvement”) upon
completion of the midpoint assessment.
Achieved

the assigned outcome.
Final Assessment
Satisfactory
Student’s progress towards achieving
this outcome is acceptable however
student still needs continued
development in this area.

complete the assigned
outcome.
A “No Pass” must be assigned for the rotation if a single “Not Achieved” is given on the Final Assessment.
Preceptors are required to provide documentation for each “Not Achieved”. Thorough documentation of student
progress is recommended. Lastly, all assessment forms must be received by the College no later than seven (7)
days after the completion of the rotation.
