Assessment criteria, approved/failed

Pass

Students return and pass their assignments on time. They manage the (group or individual) client situations assigned to them with help of theoretical knowledge they have learnt. Students attend to personal and patient safety. They know how to receive feedback and are mostly able to change their action accordingly. In their interaction they take other people into consideration.

Fail

Students are unable to justify their action with theoretical knowledge and their work is inconsistent. Their personal and patient safety may be jeopardised. Students avoid counselling situations, they do not make use of feedback and their study motivation is poor. Their interaction is clumsy and they fail to follow common rules. Students are engaged in other activities, which affects their studies. They fail to deliver some assignments and they are often absent.
