The performance is worthy as a model. • HP (High Pass): The student has performed consistently in a manner judged to be clearly above average competency. The performance may occasionally be exemplary, but not consistently so. • P (Pass) The student has performed consistently in a manner judged to be at or above the minimum level of competency. The performance may occasionally be superior, but not consistently so. No significant portion of the performance has been below the minimum level of competency. • F (Fail) The student has performed in a manner judged as marginal in relation to the minimal level of competency. In some respects, performance may have been above the minimum level, but in other aspects, or at other times, performance has been below the minimum level. The student has not demonstrated adequate mastery of the pertinent competency. REMEDIATION OR REPETITION OF COURSEWORK IS REQUIRED. Determination of Grades for Preclerkship Blocks/Courses Grading for basic science blocks will consist of two components. To pass the block, the student will be required to pass both components. The first component consists of accumulated points in 1) web-based objective examinations covering medical knowledge, and 2) other assessments, such as essay questions or papers, oral exams, laboratory practical exams, problem-solving exercises, presentations, quizzes in TBL or similar sessions, and/or completion of online quizzes. The block director will have discretion in choosing what types of other assessments to use in the block and may use more than one type. A passing grade for this component will be ≥75 percent of the total points possible. The percentage contribution to total points will be distributed as follows (for each block): Web-Based, Mid-Block, and Final Examinations Covering Medical Knowledge Using Multiple-Choice Questions (Internal Exams and/or NBME Exams) No more than 70% Other Assessments Remainder Total 100% The second component is problem-based learning (PBL/IQ) small groups. Grading for PBL/IQ will be based on a narrative facilitator assessment and will be determined by the block director as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, without assigned numerical points. Each student must receive a grade of Satisfactory (S) assessment for PBL to pass the block.
