GRADING CRITERIA:

S = Satisfactory - consistently meets objective and does the job well. Student demonstrated knowledge and preparation in performing all aspects of the behavior.

U = Unsatisfactory - inconsistently meets objective, requires maximum assistance to meet objective, or fails to meet objective. Clinical behavior and / or work is either unsafe, inconsistent, or inadequate in meeting all aspects of the performance described in the behavior.

I = Incomplete - partial completion of objective. Actions/observations were satisfactory in areas completed yet did not fulfill entire requirement.

N = No Opportunity/Beyond student's ability to complete: - No opportunity for the objective to be implemented (or) the objective required advanced knowledge/skills not previously acquired in the program.

DEFINITIONS

With Assistance:

1. With guidance from the instructor, the student is able to utilize suggestions, explanations, and directions to meet objective.

Maximum Assistance:

1. Is unable to utilize suggestions, explanations, directions, and/or supervision to function safely.

2. Is unable to transfer knowledge and guidance from one situation to another similar situation.

CALCULATION OF YOUR GRADE IS DETERMINED BY:

1. Subtracting the "N's" from the total number of objectives possible for experience = your total possible satisfactory points.

2. Subtracting the "U's" from your total possible satisfactory points

3. Subtracting the "U's" obtained from "I's" (2 I's = 1U) from your total possible satisfactory points

4. Dividing your total satisfactory points by the total possible satisfactory points (obtained in #1) = your clinical grade.

FOR EXAMPLE:

# of objectives possible for experience 84

# of objectives for this experience with "N" for evaluation -5

Your total possible satisfactory points 79

# of "U" evaluations - 10

# of U's obtained from I's -5

(10 I's = 5 U's)

Your total satisfactory points 64

THEN: # total satisfactory points 64 divided by total possible satisfactory points 84 = your clinical grade of 83.2%
