How the Academic Mentor Guided the Student Step by Step
The mentor supported the student by breaking the task into manageable stages, ensuring clarity of expectations and alignment with the marking criteria.
Step 1: Understanding the Assessment Purpose
The mentor first explained that the goal of the leaflet is not simply to retell a workplace event but to apply leadership and management principles learned in Weeks 1–3.
The student was guided to understand that the leaflet must demonstrate:
Critical thinking
Application of theory to practice
Ability to analyse situational factors
Skills in presenting information concisely

Step 2: Selecting a Suitable Leadership/Management Situation
The mentor helped the student brainstorm situations from their clinical environment such as:
understaffing during peak workload

a risk issue needing escalation
implementation of a new clinical procedure
Together, they evaluated which scenario:
