GUIDELINES FOR GRADING STUDENT’S SKILLS PERFORMANCE

Academic Year 2020-2021
Continuous Assessment: (70%)

1. Skills Performance can be assessed through OSCE or on individual basis when the student is ready for
assessment on week 3.
2. Due date for completing assessments for all students for a set of skills should be determined by the
college branch and/or as per the course syllabus
3. All skills are important and of equal value.
4. Skills performance checklist/rating scales should be used to evaluate student’s performance. Critical
elements that should be performed at 100% accuracy should be identified.
5. Failing to perform any of the critical elements at 100%, the student fails the whole skill. Twenty five
percent (25%) of the maximum points allotted to the skill will be recorded, e.g. if 10 points is allocated
for each skill, 2.5 points will be recorded to the failed skill.
6. No resit is given for any failed skill in the continuous assessment
7. Feedback should be provided to the student indicating strengths and areas that he/she needs to improve.
a. A record of students with the failed skills should be completed and disseminated to the
concerned teacher(s).
b. Opportunities to practice the skill should be provided by the concerned teacher(s).
c. The student is responsible to improve performance before the final examination. The teachers
to keep anecdotes on students’ progress
8. The continuous assessment mark is an aggregate of student’s marks obtained in skills performance
assessment; the aggregate mark should be out 70 for procedures.
Final Examination (30%)

1. Final examination should be conducted before the examination week of theory so teachers of other
courses can help in the examination and additional space to set up stations will be available.
2. Students should be informed to study and get ready for all skills (major & minor).
3. A set of essential skills that will be assessed should be identified (2 major skills and 1 minor skill).
OSCE stations to be prepared for those skills. Some stations could be written stations, to assess
students’ comprehension of underlying principles and students critical thinking when carrying out
certain steps in a given procedure.
4. Failing to perform any of the critical elements at 100%in a skill station, the student fails the whole skill.
25% of the maximum points allotted to the skill will be recorded, e.g. if 10 points is allocated for each
skill, 2.5 points will be recorded to the failed skill.
5. The Final Examination mark is an aggregate of student’s marks obtained in all stations; the aggregate
mark should be out of 30.
Final Course Marks

1. Final Course mark is an aggregate of continuous assessment mark and final examination mark.
2. If the student scored less than 50% after aggregating the entire marks (Continuous assessment and the
final clinical exam marks) the student is considered failed the course.
Approved by: The Curriculum Evaluation Committee and by the Council of Nursing Institutes on April 6, 2015

GENERAL GUIDELINES
LAB AND CLINICAL COURSES ASSESSMENT
General Notes for Task forces and Course Teachers:
1. Identify essential skills to be taught in the lab course congruent to both theory & clinical courses.
2. Map competencies of skills outlined to course learning outcomes and to the overall program competencies
and competency statements and to the types of assessments.
3. If a clinical course is running parallel skills reinforcement is done in the same semester and further in the
consecutive semesters.
4. Ensure that students focus on the holistic care of the patient and the available opportunities to perform
skills under guidance and supervision
5. Course pass mark is an aggregate of continuous and final with a pass grade of 50%

General Guidelines for ASSESSMENT DESIGN OF LAB COURSES
Weightage of Approach
Marks
Continuous 1. Taskforce outlines a list of the essential skills to be performed.
Assessment 2. Taskforce to suggest references of skills rubrics or develop the skills rubric for
70% all skills delivered and assessed in the course
3. All skills outlined need to be assessed and each course should not bare more than
12 skills to be assessed and not less than 6 skills. These numbers of skills will
ensure ample time for practice and assessment and will help meet the course
credit requirement.
4. Identify any critical elements that require 100% compliance.
5. Each college branch uses scheduled assessment for skills allocating assessment
throughout the semester.
6. Conduct skills assessment after adequate time has been allocated for
demonstration and return demonstration.
7. Skill assessment focuses solely on demonstration of the skill from hands washing
to hands washing
8. If a student fails to perform a critical element then 25% of the mark allotted for
that skill is given to the student regardless of how well the student performs in
other elements of the skill however, the student should still be allowed to finish
the procedure and should be informed after the evaluation.
9. No OSCE's to be conducted in continuous assessment.
10. The checklist marking should be changed into (0 1 2 ) instead of 0 1 or Yes / No
1. A minimum of three (3) OSCE stations to be organized and developed by the

Final taskforce.
30% 2. Scenarios are formulated by the taskforce in collaboration with the course
teachers in each college branch. Skills for OSCE Stations Scenarios should be
provided two weeks before the implementation by the taskforce.
3. All students will go through all stations for fair and standardized exam situations
4. A scenario reflects a procedure or a group of procedures. Well-constructed
scenarios should be presented with enough time for each procedure.
5. Students are asked to prepare for the final by reviewing all the procedures taught
in the course.
6. Student who fails a critical element in any of the given skills will receive 25% of
the mark allotted to the final assessment. For skills demonstration, the same skills
rubric is used that has been adopted for the continuous assessment.
7. Failure in the OSCE does not reflect failure in the course unless the total course
aggregate is less than 50%.

during the lab sessions.
13 2 Assessment of Musculoskeletal Function
The checklist to be used for all of these
assessments will be from their Introduction
to Health Assessment course for consistency
and uniformity.
Additional Learning from Students Perspectives (10%):

Ten percent of the class time should be allotted towards the end of the semester (starting from week
14) to address additional students’ learning needs relevant to the course learning outcomes. Students’
needs can be elicited through one of these ways:
 Self-directed learning: Review skills checklist

 Demonstration and Return demonstration
Suggested Teaching/ Learning Strategies:
The students are encouraged to seek different resources to fulfill learning objectives with the guidance
and teacher’s facilitation. In addition, reflective writing and journal should be initiated at simulated
laboratory settings. Although this course syllabus provides procedures checklist, they are not exclusive
and the teachers should highlight to the students the most updated method (based on scientific
evidence) as well as the practice in the hospitals. Using study guide will encourage student active
participation in learning process. Moreover, students might be asked to read, answer question or search
evidence as preparation and participation for the laboratory session.
The followings are suggested teaching and learning strategies:

 Skills demonstration and re-demonstration
 Supervised laboratory practice
 Audiovisuals/ Multi Media
 Problem based learning
 Lecture / Discussion
 Self-guided learning
 Concept mapping

 Group activity
 Study guide
 Role play
Student Learning Activities
Students are instructed to view the nursing skills available in the e-library of the Ministry of Health
(http://mohe-library.com) prior to attending the laboratory sessions. Prior viewing of the procedures will
enhance and strengthen their skills, knowledge and attitude regarding the content covered in the session.
Submission date of Assignment/ Case study/ Project/…..: (to be filled out by the course
teacher/coordinator at the college branch level)
Late Submission:
(Assignments/ Group projects are to be completed and handed in on time either electronically or hard
copy. In order to be fair to students who complete their assignment on time, work that is not submitted
on the specified date will be considered as late and will be penalized 10% off of the assigned grade
per day late. If a student is absent on the day of submission, the work assigned is still due via email
during the working hours of the specified submission date.).
Note: consistency of implementation across all courses and by various teachers should be maintained
Extension: (Extension is rarely granted and are only allowed in unforeseen circumstances (student’s
severe sickness, death of a family member, events that beyond student’s control e.g. natural events)
Academic integrity: (It is the student responsibility to be aware and informed about academic
integrity and unfair practices policy, it is available in the student handbook. Breaching the policy will
subject the student to penalties. Examples of unacceptable behaviors include cheating, plagiarism,
and academic fraud)
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan:
This course is designed in line with the new BSN curriculum program. The course will be reexamined
in the light of the feedback that will be obtained from teachers and students at the end of first semester
of the academic year 2018-2019. It is recommended that teachers and students and curriculum planners
review the course every two years.
Learning Materials:
The student is responsible for seeking knowledge from different sources such as but not limited to:
recommended text book and references, multimedia resources, MoH e-library resources.
Students are required to take notes in the class to help them further study the concepts deeply.
