Learning assessment procedures
The evaluation of the internship activity will be:
- Formative: with the purpose of appreciating the evolution and progress of the student within the continuum of his/her path; the student becomes aware of his/her learning progress and helped to orient and design learning towards the expected educational objectives. It is carried out by the student (self-assessment), by peers and by experts (feedback). It is structured at the end of each internship experience through the formative evaluation form and an individual interview with the student.
- Certifying: consists of an annual evaluation, which documents the level achieved with respect to the objectives expected per year. This evaluation will be a synthesis of the formative evaluations of the single internship experiences, the profit achieved in the report, the self-assessment and the performance demonstrated during the internship examination.
The internship examination consists of a structured examination in stations, each of which evaluates in an objective and standardized manner specific technical, design, relational, and educational skills chosen from the pool of educational objectives related to the year of the course.
The final evaluation will be a collegial evaluation, formalized with the final internship examination, carried out by a Commission composed of the Coordinator of the bachelor degree, academic teachers and tutors.
Evaluation criteria
The level of assistance, technical, operational and relational skills achieved during the internship, the commitment and quality of the written documents, the application of theory to practice.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The certification evaluation of the internship will be expressed in thirtieths based on the level of achievement of the objectives:
1. Evaluation of the ability to apply theoretical contents to clinical practice - Max 10 points
2. Evaluation of technical operational skills in simulated situations - Max 1 point
3 Internship activities Max 15 points
4. Report produced in the two internship experiences Max 5 points
