Assessment
Unaided Work:
The student carries out an in-depth research of the recommended literature when preparing for clinical simulations. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal.
Assessment Criteria:
Successful completion of all the pre-practice tests – mandatory. All practical classes attended and successfully completed – mandatory. To consider the practical class to be completed, the student should take an active part in the implementation of the simulation scenario (demonstrated knowledge, skills and competence) and in de-briefing. Final examination: Examination.
