ORIPRA2 Placement: Orthosis and Prosthesis of the Foot Course description

Grade scale A-F.

All exams are assessed by two examiners. At least 20 % of the exam papers will be assessed by an external examiner. The external examiner’s assessment should benefit all the students.

• 10 credits overlap with the course ORTO1200 Biomechanics and Movement Analysis.

The work and teaching methods include self-study, interprofessional cooperative learning and external practical training under supervision.

The following required coursework must be approved to pass practical training:

• minimum 90 % attendance during practical training.

• six reflection notes of 700-1,400 words. The reflection notes must be submitted to the programme on a weekly basis.

Assessment of practical training: The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment that students are subject to throughout the practical training period.

The student’s practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about practical training assessment.

Resit assessment: Students who fail a period of practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training period.

Not relevant.

Pass/Fail.

The midway and final assessments are carried out by the practical training supervisor and the contact lecturer. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.

10 credits overlap with ORTOPRA2 Placement in Foot Orthotics.
