Grading
PRACTICAL SEMINAR (Attendance is mandatory)
The dates will be published on the course Moodle. A knowledge test will be conducted, and to attend it, you must have attended all the hours of the seminar.
Students who do not pass the knowledge test or do not attend the seminar will have to complete a written assignment, the contents of which will be posted on the course Moodle.
It is mandatory to pass the Moodle exam or submit the compensatory assignment to average the score with the other evaluation activities.
TUTOR EVALUATION
The internship at the centers will be evaluated by the tutor of the center itself using the evaluation document based on the criteria set by the practicum team, which consists of two parts:
Evaluation of attitude and behavior at the internship center.
Evaluation of skills and aptitudes in physiotherapy.
A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is required in each part of the evaluation to pass the period. Likewise, a minimum grade of 5 is required for each of the grades from the centers where internships were completed to pass the course.
ABSENCES
Attendance at the internship is mandatory, and completing 360 hours is essential to pass the course. In case of absence from the internship center for any reason, both the internship center and the practicum team must be notified in advance. Justified absences can be made up at the center itself (provided the center agrees). The accumulation of three unjustified absences will result in failing the course.
Attending the internship on public holidays of the country or region where the internship takes place is not permitted.
INTERNSHIP REPORT
The internship report is a project submitted in two parts, one for each period. A minimum average grade of 5 must be obtained between both reports to pass the course.
The internship report consists of two written assignments submitted during the internship semester (the submission deadlines and content details for each report will be published on the course Moodle):
REPORT FOR PERIOD 1 (20%)
REPORT FOR PERIOD 2 (10%)
Assignments submitted after the deadline will be subject to the following penalties:
Assignments submitted up to 24 hours late will receive a maximum score of 5 out of 10.
Assignments submitted more than 24 hours past the deadline will receive a score of 0.
The use of AI is not permitted for the creation of either of the two internship reports.
IMPORTANT
The evaluation activities have a single call (no retakes), therefore, students who do not pass any of the activities will fail the course.
If a center terminates the internship agreement because the student violates any of its clauses, the period will be failed, and there will be no possibility of completing the hours in a new center.
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
A non-presenting student will be considered as not present in any of the assessment activities.
Single Assessment:
Non applicable
Minimum requirements to pass:
To pass the subject a minimum grade of 5.0 must be obtained.

Remarks
It is mandatory to attend the practices with the appropriate clothing (uniform). Nor will it be possible to practice with rings, clocks, bracelets, earrings or any element that may cause any detriment related to the comfort and safety of the students during the execution of the different maneuvers of physiotherapy.
It is essential to take care of body hygiene. The student will have to attend the practices with gathered hair, short nails and unpainted, and must follow any internal regulations of the center of practice.
