grading and evaluation

Overall

Your final clerkship grade will be based upon a variety of factors.

	Clinical Evaluation (determined by the level of competencies achieved)	50 points possible
	Projects	20 points possible
	Final Examination	30 points possible
	Clinical Skills Exercise	+1 point
	Total points possible = 100

Projects
	Biopsychosocial	10 points possible
	Evidence-Based Medicine	10 points possible
	< 4 points on either assignment = fail

Examination (100 multiple choice questions = .3 each)		30 points possible
	Points calculated by multiplying number correct by 0.3
	<20 points = fail

Clinical Skills/Standardized Patient Exercise:

If you pass your clinical skills exercise and are beyond one full standard deviation of the class mean, you will receive one additional point to your overall grade (not to exceed 100 points). If you pass, but are less than one full standard deviation from the mean, you will not receive a point. If you fail the clinical skills exercise or are one full standard deviation below the class mean, you will have one point deducted from your overall grade.

Final Grade:

91 -100 points	= honors
86 - 90 points	= high pass
65 - 85 points	= pass
< 65 points total	= fail

Students scoring less than 65% on the examination, but passing the clinical portion, must remediate the exam only. Students failing either of the assignments will have to remediate the assignment. Students failing the clinical portion only must remediate the clinical rotation, and complete a short answer test at the end of the remediation. Other remediation assignments will be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the student’s strengths and weaknesses.

Remediation policies can be accessed online at the SSOM Student Information site - Academic Policy Manual. The web address is <http://www.meddean.luc.edu/ssom/studres/policies>.
