Grading and Student Evaluation |
|
|
|
We use many different techniques to monitor a student’s progress and areas of strength or potential difficulty. These include: visual observation, verbal and kinesthetic assessment of student competency, written evaluations, quizzes and exams. Students are given progress reports when they have completed 25%, 50%, and 75% of the program.
A student is considered to be making satisfactory progress if s/he is meeting attendance requirements, meeting requirements for student standards of conduct, and maintaining a grade point average of 70% or higher. If a student is not making satisfactory progress, the student meets with the Director to develop a plan for improvement.
Students may be placed on probation or dismissed for unsatisfactory progress.
Evaluation of massage techniques: There are at least five times during the program that a student provides a massage for a faculty member and gets written and verbal feedback on that particular massage. Our evaluation considers qualities such as connectedness as well as skill in executing massage therapy strokes.
Evaluation of academic knowledge: We give regular quizzes in Anatomy and Physiology in order to monitor student progress in this area and to encourage students to keep up with the material. Midterm and final examinations are also given to help students summarize and absorb what they have learned. We also provide a written massage final exam covering the material presented in all of the massage and ethics classes. An average passing grade of 70 or above is required for graduation from the program.
There are two numerical grades that are recorded on each student’s transcript. These grades are determined as follows:
The Anatomy and Physiology final grade is based on -
A. 50% from classroom participation
B. 50% from quizzes and examinations
The Massage/Bodywork final grade is based on-
A. 60% from the practical final exam
B. 40% from the written massage final exam
