    Assessment and Grading

    Assessment activities:

    Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
    Academic External Internships Completion of two internship periods in a physiotherapy department of an external entity. 60 No
    Internship reports Developement of a written project 30 No
    Practicum Seminar Attend all seminar hours and complete a moodle test. 10 No

    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 345 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:
    Those students who do not show up at any of the assessable activities, will be considered as Non Presented

    Single Assessment:
    Non avaliable

    Minimum requirements to pass:
    In order for the subject to be considered as passed, students must obtain a minimum qualification of 5.0

    Mentorship

    Tutoring sessions will be held atthe corresponding designed classrooms and/or in a virtual format.

    Communication and interaction with students

    Comunications with students will take place presentially, via moodle, and via email adress

Furthermore, performing the practical sessions while wearing rings, watches, bracelets, earrings, or any item that could compromise the comfort and safety of the students during the execution of the different physiotherapy maneuvers will not be permitted.
