Grading
TUTOR EVALUATION
Internships at the centers will be evaluated by the tutor of the respective center 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 competences and skills in physiotherapy.
A minimum score of 5 is required in each of the evaluation parts to pass the period. Furthermore, a minimum score of 5 is required for each of the center grades where the student has completed internships in order to pass the course.
ABSENCES
Attendance at the internships is mandatory, and completing 600 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 that the center agrees). The accumulation of three unjustified absences will result in failing the course.
Attending internships on public holidays in the country or region where the internship placement takes place is not permitted.
INTERNSHIP REPORTS
The internship report consists of two written assignments submitted during the internship semester (the submission deadlines and content details of each part will be published on the course Moodle):
INTERNSHIP CENTER REPORT (15%)
CLINICAL REPORT (25%)
A minimum score of 5 is required for each internship report to pass the course.
Assignments submitted late will incur the following penalties:
Assignments submitted up to 24 hours after the deadline 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 (convocatòria única); 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 suspended, and the student will not have the opportunity to complete the hours at a new center.
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
The grade "Non-Presented" is considered when a student do not present any of the assessment activities.
