More and more I am realising how subjective the measuring of our work is. I really value the practicality of this course, as we have so many opportunities to practice. However I am frustrated with the differing ideas that assessors have. I know that they are only human so these differences are inevitable. Some of the good things that I have done as a result of true industriousness and hard mental labour have went unnoticed, as it is just not possible for assessors to grasp everything that we are doing or why we are doing it, just as it is not possible for me to be the perfect student. I guess we are all only human...so on that basis I forgive everybody. Where does this lead me in reflective practice? Well, if the outcome of our efforts is not what we were hoping for, then we should be satisfied that it could not have been otherwise as it was not due to a lack of effort on our part. Just as Anne of Confident Futures told us!
I agree, a subject like ours is such an inexact science, any assessment of our work will be inevitably subjective. But maybe this works in our favour as often as against it!
