The other component of this function is the responsibility to evaluate others by providing honest constructive feedback. The ability to manage time effectively is an important skill to master in order to meet the multiple demands present in the programme. A variety of tools are used to evaluate student learning throughout the academic component, i.e. essays, journals, self-directed study and library research, presentations, faculty, peer and self evaluations, and examinations. Students are strongly encouraged to have access to e-mail and the internet. Programme Students enroled in the Midwifery Education Programme are required to perform and participate in a wide variety of clinical activities.
All clinical courses require students to be on call and available for the duration of the course.
Off call times will be designated in each course. Many of the placements are outside of the three university regions. Within a practice, students will often need to travel to more than one site per day including clients' homes, hospitals and clinic sites. Familiarity with the physical layout of affiliated hospitals is required. Students will need to explore and identify resources that are realistically accessible to them while in placement.
