I agree,
There are times you need to go back to the study design and see what they need to know to achieve an S.

Hi Stephanie
I agree with Robert. Keep in mind that the granting of the 'S' does not need to occur in the production of the SAC. The student should be/is able to demonstrate these skills during the time of the outcome, including the practice SAC and any other preparatory classes, as well as during the SAC.
This enables a student who was unable to attend or complete a SAC due to illness or any other excuse that does not allow an extension to gain an 'S' for the outcome.

By your description he did not did not do all this.
