Abstract:
This paper aims to give an overview of the role of the mentor within the sphere of the evaluation of learning, with particular emphasis on the intermediate interview and student reflection on their learning experience as formal tools for evaluation. Although the terms 'evaluation' and 'assessment' are often used in similar contexts, it is important to distinguish between the two concepts. The importance of evaluation of learning cannot be over emphasised as it is an important part of ensuring that students develop as expected (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2008). Therefore, failure to evaluate learning can have a negative impact on the student and their learning throughout their programme of study.
