| Module Content |
Twice during the student’s work placement, usually co-ordinated with the tutor’s visit, the workplace supervisor is asked to assess the student’s performance.
After approximately the first half of the placement, the supervisor completes a mid-placement form which accounts for the student’s performance up to date. Assessed are the following:
-
Quality of work
-
Student performance in terms of appearance, reliability, timekeeping, and motivation;
-
Acquisition and development of key skills such as time-management, spoken and written communication, organisational skills, and teamwork.
-
Personal growth and development.
At the end of the placement, the workplace supervisor completes a second form, assessing the same qualities again to identify areas of student development and improvement. The form is accompanied by a written report, summarising the student’s overall performance on placement, and commenting on their progress and achievements as well as their personal and professional development. |
