I had my mid point today and It was awful. I didn't know half the questions, despite them being obvious and studying and preparing lots for it.
My reflection was pulled to bits I have to re do it...ok slight exageration but I really have to go through it and alter and find more references...it took me ages to do it.

I feel really disheartened and wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
I'm feeling really thick.....I just can't seem to explain myself well, I end up just confusing people....I think I'm going into the wrong field of work as communication is paramount.
Theres nothing else I want to do though and have worked towards this course for a few years.
Have a heavy heart at the moment and just wanted to tell someone.

Used Gibbs reflective cycle.

The mid point is...bare with me.....
We go out on placement for a certain amount of weeks at a time. During that time we are required to fulfil set criteria, complete the usual learning contract of a chosen subject and write a 1000 word reflection of how we acheived that learning contract.
Towards the last week/s of the placement we have to be assesed to ascertain if we are safe to practice and we do this by talking through the above and answering questions which could be anything along the lines of what would you do if?
This is the mid point assesment.

1st year 1st placement (placement has been for 12 weeks).
Its weird how the diferent universities work things. Your already on your second placement. How long were you/are you on placement?

I don't get to do it again, but I passed anyway. I caught up with my mentor yesterday and she said that considering the questions I was asked she thought I answered really well....so feel a little relieved.

Next time I'm just going to talk for england leaving little opportunity for questions.

You sound like your quite far on in your course already, have you covered a law and ethics module and an evidence based one?

I have nearly finished my 3500 wrd one for the law and ethics one but have a 4000 wrd reflection/admission to discharge one to do for same hand in date for Principles of Practice.

I'm actually suppose to be working on ass now but have somehow typed in mumsnet instead of kantGrin

It's the academic mentor who carries out the mid point who as its worked out, is my tutor aswell. I've gone fast off her. It was like an interogation and being drilled for information. I'd heard she was like that but I've only met her as my tutor and she's been lovely so was a little unprepared for the seargent major version her.
