Evaluations of Student Performance
Criteria for grading of all fieldwork courses are noted on the individual course syllabus. Please refer to the course syllabus for specific instructions on assignments and course requirements, including the completion of designated evaluation forms for each type of fieldwork. The Institute is using the E*Value software platform for online evaluations to be completed by students and fieldwork educators for all fieldwork placements.
Assessment of Level II Fieldwork Experience: Grades are based on the AOTA Fieldwork Performance Evaluation (FWPE) passing score criteria, filled out by the student’s supervisor(s), to measure students’ demonstration of entry-level competence. Effective 2021, the AOTA Fieldwork Performance Evaluation for Occupational Therapy Students will be available on using the Formstack software platform.
In all fieldwork education courses, the DCE makes the final determination of course grade based on written and verbal performance feedback and assessment provided by fieldwork faculty and student. Expectations for passing each fieldwork education course are contained in the course syllabus.
