Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Student progress is monitored according to attendance at timetabled teaching, by participation in tutorials and by individual supervisors during the period of group and individual supervision.

While on placement, the student will be assigned practice supervisors, a practice assessor and an academic assessor in accordance with the partnership agreement. Feedback will be provided throughout the placement.
