Assessment methods and criteria
At the end of the placement period, the student must submit a written report to the placement supervisor; this report serves as the primary document confirming the student’s completion of the assistant placement programme. The mark is determined taking into account the timeliness of the report’s submission and the quality of the report, which is assessed in accordance with the types of work described in clause 7.1. The final mark is composed of: 1) marks awarded to the student based on the results of the work carried out, as reflected in the report; 2) marks awarded for the final assessment. The final assessment of the student’s knowledge, skills and abilities acquired during the placement is determined on a 100-point scale, which is then converted to a four-point grading scale.
