Additional coursework information
Assessment takes the form of DVD presentation and reflective log of the learning during the process of completion of the video. The student will;
A. Select an appropriate therapeutic activity relevant to a chosen client justifying the reasons for the choice. You need to demonstrate the use of the OT process, considering opportunities for the grading and adaptation of the activity to meet the changing needs of the client. You will then creatively present the client, justifying your intervention inter-pinned from a theoretical base on a 10 -12 minute DVD. (60% weighting)
B. Using a relevant model of reflection, complete a reflective log of your learning of a new skill undertaken during the module - 1500 words submitted via OCS (40% weighting)
Students must successfully complete both components with a pass mark of 40% for each. An aggregate mark will not be considered.
