Bit of a funny one from two of our students today.
During their placement, they need to write a paper reflecting on their OWN practice now and how it differed between either what they'd do in their home country or five years ago (depending on their circumstance).
Two of the students however, missed the "own practice" part and wrote a reflective paper on their workplace supervisor (not the mentor) and how they would've done stuff differently. In other words, while they got the concept of reflecting on their practice, they were meant to evaluate themselves, not their supervisor.
To their credit, when they both realised it, they rang up in a blind panic, resulting in one of my CW's having to go and see them in person to reassure them that no, they didn't fail the paper and we allowed for a re-do.
