VII. Evaluations

 

​

Section VII.I: Student Evaluations
​
1—Clinical Evaluations

​

The student will be evaluated by faculty, with significant input from preceptors and other staff of the appropriate facility, during and/or at the end of each clinical course.

​

  • During the junior year and the fall of the senior year, the student will be evaluated, on a pass/fail scale, for having demonstrated meeting each course objective.

​

  • Spring semester of the senior year the clinical courses will be graded on a 4.0 scale.

​
2—Portfolio Evaluation
​

Each student in the nursing program will establish and maintain a professional BSN portfolio according to general requirements that cross all courses and meet the nursing program objectives (outcomes). These constitute the required evidence of expected learning outcomes and synthesis of one’s professional nursing knowledge at the baccalaureate level. The BSN portfolio is an accepted method to document progression toward or attainment of professional goals and competencies. The professional BSN portfolio is started by students in their first semester of the nursing program and continues all four semesters through an online portfolio tracking system by FolioTek®.

​

FolioTek®

 

The BSN portfolio is managed by FolioTek®. Students have access to FolioTek® for the two years (four semesters) they are enrolled in the nursing program. The professional BSN portfolio is organized by junior year and senior year and then by the four semesters. Each semester contains the assignments required in the BSN portfolio and the nursing course connected with the assignment. The BSN portfolio can be viewed by topic or by competency. The competency tab lists the 11 nursing program outcomes with evidence supported by the portfolio items to the student’s competency. The BSN portfolio items can be divided into seven parts under the titles of (l) Nursing Praxis, Portfolio Evaluation Summary (end of senior year); (II) Core Nursing Theory; (III) Clinical Practice; (IV) Integration of Faith, Leadership & Service; (V) Critical Thinking: (VI) Research; and (VII) Public Presentations & Writing.
