Assessment methods and criteria

The final evaluation consists in the grade given by the internship manager (50%) and the grade for the internship report (50%). The criteria used to evaluate the report are: summarising skills, the document's overall quality (layout, table of contents, bibliography, page numbering, required number of pages) and the structure of the case presentation. The report's content will be evaluated based on the theoretical (references to the literature) and clinical framework, the presentation of patient data, the therapeutic objectives and process, the effectiveness of care, the conclusions, and the outlooks. Students are also expected to adopt a critical perspective on their overall work. As language is an important part of the speech and language therapist's professional skills, spelling will be included in the evaluation criteria. In addition, all language errors (usage, grammar or syntax) will be sanctioned. As a general rule, only 10 errors will be tolerated. If more errors are made in the first-session report, it will be graded 5/20 and must be presented again during the second session of exams. During the second session, excessive errors will result in the final grade being lowered by 2 points. Deadlines: students agree to turn in the required documents (evaluation report, internship report, administrative forms) within the appropriate deadlines. If documents are sent past the deadline for the first-session exam, the student will receive a grade of 5/20 and must present their work again in the second session. For the second-session exam, sending documents past the deadline will result in a 2-point penalty on the final grade.
