Student Assessment
Completing student assessments is an important part of precepting. The Early Assessment of Student and the Midpoint Student Performance Assessment are formative assessments used to promote student learning and document progress. That is, they provide information about the student's progress to date and an opportunity to discuss his/her achievement, as well as areas in need of improvement. The Final Student Performance Assessment is summative and is designed to summarize the student's performance at the end of the placement.
