Examination

The course has two partial exams:

Part 1: Written school exam (6 hours): The written school exam shall, in light of the learning outcomes, assess the students' ability to apply theoretical, research-based, and experience-based knowledge in clinical reasoning, e.g., in relation to case study; the what, how, and why of physiotherapy.

Assessed with a grading scale A-F and accounts for 40% of the total grade in the course.

Part 2: Clinical-practical exam (45 minutes): The clinical-practical exam shall, in light of the learning outcomes, assess the students' clinical-practical skills, e.g., in relation to a given clinical problem and context with a fellow student as the "patient".

Assessed with a grading scale A-F and accounts for 60% of the total grade in the course.

A deferred examination is held for students who have documented valid absence, have an exam result of 'not passed', or who have attended the exam and withdrawn during the process.

Approved mandatory activities do not have to be completed again when retaking the examination.

Mandatory activities

During this course, students must complete varied mandatory activities linked to the achievement of learning outcomes and competence development in the course. The following mandatory activities must be completed and approved in order to present oneself for assessment:

Practical exercises with written submission and/or peer assessment: Details will be presented on the course learning platform. If the written work is assessed as 'not approved', one (1) new opportunity is given to rework the assignment.

Seminar days on various subject areas, for example, children and young people's health, and health promotion and prevention. Details will appear in the timetable and the course learning platform. Mandatory seminars require 100% attendance. In case of documented valid absence, an oral or written assignment with a submission deadline set by the subject teacher will be provided.

Skills training lab: 80% attendance is required for scheduled skills training. Absence exceeding 20% means that the student cannot present themselves for assessment in the course.

Clinical placements including preparatory and follow-up work (3rd-semester placement period and 4th-semester placement period): Students shall complete two clinical placement periodns under the supervision of a physiotherapist, including carrying out various learning outcome-controlled activities. Documented valid absence between 11% and 20% can be made up for as an extended placement period by agreement between the placement organization and the university. Absence exceeding 20% for any reason means that the placement period must be retaken.

The third-semester placement must be passed in order to be able to proceed to the fourth-semester placement.
