Why Portfolio
1. encourage students to become accountable and responsible for their own learning (i.e., self-directed, active, peer-supported, adult learning)
2. can be the focus of initiating a discussion between student and tutor
3. facilitate reflection and self-assessment.

Portfolio Issues
1. When portfolios are used for summative assessment, students may be reluctant to reveal weaknesses
2. Portfolio assessment may produce unacceptably low inter-rater reliability, especially if the assessment rubrics are not properly prepared or are used by untrained assessors.

The instructors are encouraged to meet with the student to evaluate progress mid-term during the structured experience.
Structured Practice Experiences ProgramPHARMACY 480 Manual
Issue: Assessment = Learning
This preliminary evaluation will serve as a benchmark for the student and is used to assess progress, assuring communication between the instructor and the student. Instructors should encourage open dialogue during the review process to make certain that the student understands his or her progress.
Structured Practice Experiences ProgramPHARMACY 480 Manual
Issue: Surprises
Demonstration of learning and improvement over the course of the rotation will be considered an important factor in the evaluation process. Instructors will provide information about each student’s performance level and will then indicate whether the student has “completed requirements” for the structured practice experience. If such assessment is made, and provided the student has met all other requirements, a final grade of CR will be forwarded to the Registrar.
Issue: Accreditation
