FINAL EVALUATIONS

Final evaluations apply to all ELCC, CYCC practicums, as well as CHST 3206. The Faculty Supervisor, in collaboration with the Site Supervisor, will determine a student’s final grade.

At the end of the term, students and Site Supervisors will meet together to discuss and complete the final evaluation prior to meeting with the Faculty Supervisor. The Faculty Supervisor will attend all evaluation conferences and mediate any situation where the site supervisor and a student disagree.

A final evaluation meeting will be held during the last month of the semester with the student, Site Supervisor and Faculty Supervisor could be in person or over the phone). The major focus of this meeting is on the final evaluation of the student’s learning and professional performance. Both student the Site Supervisor are required to have completed the final evaluation and submit it via the IPT system prior to the meeting. This is an opportunity for the student to discuss their learning outcomes and to reflect on the trajectory of learning across the term.

*The Faculty Supervisor the final grade the student receives, understanding that all proper procedures have been followed. If the student is in disagreement with the grade, they may appeal using the MRU grade appeals policy.
