  • To both, Students and Tutors, a common working tool will be provided (downloaded from the discipline web page), to guide their rotation and to register any contact activities that they might have participated or performed ("Log - Book").

 

  • Students should have a devoted area to work and computer / internet access and should never feel they are on their own.

·         Multiple choice test including 10 questions from each speciality, including TEAM (10 x 5 = 50 questions)  given on the last rotation day of week 6

 

·         Final classification (0 to 20) will be pondered (30% log book and 70%  for the test.

 

 

·         Together with the exam, the students will be asked to access the teaching quality.
