Minimum Pass Level Descriptor

To achieve the minimum mark you will produce a report as described below. We do hope that you will be able to produce an essay that is above this minimum standard. Use the year one assessment criteria to help you achieve this.

Minimum D (pass) grade will be achieved if: you meet all the learning outcomes of the module with evidence of a basic understanding of psychological and sociological theory in radiography with the aim of increasing patient satisfaction and compliance.

Marking Grid

The following marking grid will be used by tutors who will be assessing your work. You should use this along with the level 1 college-wide grade descriptors, available in the student handbook, when planning your essay.  This would indicate how you could raise your mark from the minimum mark described previously.

Assessment Criteria

We are looking for an assignment that shows an understanding of non-compliance/non-adherence, how non-compliance/non-adherence might influence radiography and how you as a practitioner can reduce this.  It will be necessary, as the subject of compliance/adherence is so broad, to concentrate your discussion around one area of radiography and/or non-compliant behaviour.  The assignment should be well presented, structured and referenced using a range of relevant and up to date books, web pages and journals.  All criteria are equally weighted.  Please see blackboard for more detail on what is expected from you for this assignment.
