• Weekly reading responses: You will engage with weekly readings/other materials and complete short “reading responses”or other activities related to the preparation material. You must complete all the assessment tasks to pass the entire unit. Failure to complete any assessment item will result in you being awarded a fail grade, regardless of your cumulative marks in the unit of study.
• Class participation and group skills demonstration: You will be assessed on your contribution to class discussions and your contribution to the learning of your peers. Throughout the semester, some students will be randomly selected to participate in in-class activities.
• Case study (cognitive strategies): This paper will require that you prepare a written submission for an occupational therapy program that will address the cognitive impairments demonstrated by a client group using material presented in class and your own investigations.
• Psychosocial and cognitive strategies exams: Two take home exams worth 20% each and 1000 words each will be due in week 15. They will include occupational therapy processes and professional reasoning. Examination questions will relate to case scenarios that will be given out in week 13. Students will be required to prepare themselves for the tasks set in the examination by researching the case thoroughly and gathering relevant  information.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

IMPORTANT NOTE: While no individual assessment piece is “must pass”, students must achieve at least 50% for each of the modules (e.g., a cumulative total of at least 25/50 for the weekly reading response and psychosocial component of the exam AND a cumulative total of at least 25/50 for the cognitive case study and cognitive component of the exam).
