Training Seminar 

Although most of the above learning outcomes (LOs) are covered as part of the voice training, students may have problems or questions with some of them. If so, they can raise them during the SAS. In this respect, the following is expected: 
 
Presentation of a specific problem (40min) between November and March: 

This may be a clinical case in which the student is encountering difficulties, a question relating to professional practice (Expertise), a piece of re-education equipment/technique that is puzzling, ... In short, any subject related to practice - and the above-mentioned skills - that can give rise to a constructive and formative debate. 


Submit a few lines on the issue in question by email to marion.hubin@uliege.be, for prior approval. 

Content: Oral presentation accompanied by a .ppt (15') + group discussion (25'). In addition to the question/issue submitted, the student is expected to provide some answers or possible solutions, and to use the specific terminology of the profession. 
Form: quality of slide presentation and spelling. 

The PPT of the oral presentation must be sent at least 10 working days before the presentation, i.e. excluding weekends and public holidays.
 
Preparation for the oral defence (30min) between April and May - formative assessment : 

Presentation of a clinical case in T1 and T2, mentioning (1) the data from the assessment in T1, (2) the therapeutic objectives, (3) the development of a therapeutic objective supported by the use of tool(s) to measure the effectiveness of the intervention, (4) the data from the assessment in T2, (5) a critical look at the data in T1 and T2, (6) the presence of a bibliography mentioning at least 1 reference in English used. (10min)

Evaluation of the presentation and peer feedback (15min)

Feedback from the tutor (5min)


A student will take notes for the group to record the positive points and points for improvement mentioned during the feedback.

Oral defence (30min) in June


Presentation of two clinical cases in Q1 and Q2, mentioning (1) the data from the assessment in Q1, (2) the therapeutic objectives, (3) the development of a therapeutic objective supported by the use of tool(s) to measure the effectiveness of the intervention, (4) the data from the assessment in Q2, (5) a critical look at the data in Q1 and Q2, (6) the presence of a bibliography mentioning at least 2 references in English used. (15 minutes)

Questions from the placement tutor (15min)


Additional information:

The final evaluation consists in the grade given by the internship manager and the grade for the internship report.

You will be asked to write further reports for the Ligue Braille training, the training at the Liège Conservatory, the training with an ENT specialist and the assessment training at the CHU on Monday with D. Morsomme. These reports should be written according to the guidelines explained by D. Morsomme or A. Remacle.


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.

• "Ligue Braille" project , audiobook recording (100 pages = 10 hours of training), managed by Angélique Remacle.
