The first part of the grade is based on the student's attendance and commitment (presence; participation; submission of work; compliance with deadlines). Unjustified absence from a practical session automatically results in failure of that part.

The second part relates to the presentation of a clinical case by each group of students at the end of the term.

The third part is based on an in-session written examination.

In the event of failure in the first session, the marks obtained in the first and second parts will be retained to the second session. The student may register for a second session to re-take the third part (written examination).

Case presentation

Attendance at large-group lectures and 2 small-group practical sessions is obligatory.

The final grade is based on four components (three group-based and one individual).

The first part of the mark relates to attendance at group sessions and the student's commitment (attendance; participation; submission of assignments; meeting deadlines). An unjustified absence from a practical session automatically results in a fail for this part.

The second part involves the assessment of group reports based on the clinical case studies presented during the lectures.

The third part relates to the presentation of a clinical case per group of students at the end of the term.

The fourth part is based on an individual written assessment held during the examination session.

In the event of a fail in the first session, the marks obtained in the first three parts will be carried over to the second session. The student may attend the second session to retake the fourth part (written assessment).
