Assessment
The evaluation is made from four elements:
1. The report of the practice tutor, which is based on a model developed by the University where the different aptitudes and attitudes of the student are valued. It is the part with the highest weight in the overall evaluation of PE.
2. The student's report describing what his/her practices consisted of, the results and how has been his/her experience. This report is delivered to the PE teacher.
3. At the end of the academic year, it will be necessary to make a public oral presentation in a brief academic session with other students.
It is the final point in the PE and the opportunity to share the experiences lived and what has been talked about during the tutorials.
4. As part of the training activities specified in the assessment for the Pràctiques Externes/Prácticas Externas, students must fulfil these two requirements:
-have attended at least one 1 of the group professional orientation courses organised by the Servei d’Ocupabilitat and show proof of attendance by adjoining the certificate to the Memòria de Pràctiques.
-have taken the questionnaire Professional Competences Test offered by the Servei d’Ocupabilitat de la UAB. The result of the test can be downloaded and attached to the Memòria de Pràctiques.
