ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
Formative Assessment
Within this module a range of formal and informal assessment activities will be employed to support you in achieving the learning outcomes.
These will include online learning and assessment activities such as multiple-choice quizzes, the use of the wiki/discussion forums for case study scenarios to develop problem-based learning.
Furthermore, there will be group work/activities within the classroom that will prepare them for their summative assessment. Simulated practice scenarios will be used for managing patients requiring postanaesthetic care from a variety of specialities and students will be given informal feedback on their performance.
Summative Assessment
The summative assessment for this module will be in two parts:
Part 1
Post-anaesthetic Case Study. Students will choose 1 out of 3 optional case studies, which will cover a range of surgical specialities.
The students will have to demonstrate critical understanding in assessing, planning, delivering, and evaluating post-anaesthetic care. The essay will include the importance of inter-professional communication in all aspects of postanaesthetic care.
2,000 notional words.
This must meet Learning Outcomes 2, 3 & 4; 100% of the overall module mark.
