In simulation, which of the following describes how the evaluation is conducted?

• A. The evaluation is based on a theoretical quiz with no radiographic images.
• B. The evaluation involves performing the examination on a live subject and critiquing the resulting image using a radiograph in the evaluation sheet; minimum grade is 85%.
• C. The evaluation is based solely on peer feedback.
• D. The evaluation is optional and ungraded.

Answer: (B)

In simulation, evaluation centers on demonstrating real imaging skills and then analyzing the result. The student performs the radiographic examination on a live subject and uses the radiograph shown on the evaluation sheet to critique the image, with a minimum passing grade of 85%. This setup ensures you’re assessed on practical technique—positioning, exposure, shielding, patient handling—and on the ability to interpret image quality and justify technical choices against established standards. It ties hands-on performance to concrete feedback, rather than relying on theory, peer-only input, or ungraded participation.
