Additional Notes
In addition, in order to pass the module the student must attain least 80% attendance for all timetabled classes. Failure to comply with this will require the student to complete additional teaching and learning activities as determined by the module co-ordinator in order to demonstrate achievement of all learning outcomes. This can result in a student being withdrawn from the subsequent practice placement until they evidence they have completed all required additional elements. A record of this process may be made in relation to the student’s professional behaviour.
