You are graded in 2  areas.  Primarily with the Field Evaluation which measures your effectiveness in working with young children, families, and colleagues.  Secondly, you are graded on your ability to communicate your competencies in writing with the e-Portfolio.

1. Competency Portfolio evaluated by the college supervisor.
2. Observations and evaluations by college supervisor and site supervisor.
   • Minimum of 5 observational visits and feedback by the college supervisor
   • Summative evaluation in a three-way conference involving the student, site supervisor, and college supervisor.

A mark of Target or Acceptable on both the Competency Portfolio and the Field Experience Summative Evaluation (i.e., 9.0 or higher) is needed to pass the course.

Field Evaluation  Grading Scale: (100% = 570 points.  The grading starts with 100 at 500 or an average score of 4.5)

Final Grades determined by Points.  The e-Portfolio is worth 500 points 

Partial points with be rounded to the nearest full point, e.g. 83.4=83 which leads to a grade of B-; 83.5=84 which leads to a grade of B. If you wish a challenge a grade on any assignment, including your final course grade, you must justify your request in writing within 7 days of the posting of the graded assignment.

Incompletes

A grade of Incomplete is intended to accommodate students who have encountered extraordinary, unanticipated disruptions of their life circumstances as defined by the University (medical emergencies, etc.).  Supervisors are hired on a per-student basis for that semester only and are not contractually required to continue their supervisory role beyond the end of the semester.  Supervisors will not automatically give a grade of incomplete because a student falls behind. Be professional, and meet scheduled deadlines!  If a problem arises that will seriously impact your ability to finish on time, talk to your BSU supervisor early; usually, alternative accommodations can be worked out, and you must take the initiative!
