Introduction
Regular follow-up of the project work by a project supervisor. Students will write a report describing the project and what they have gained from participating in the project.
Projects are selected/distributed at the start of the semester.
Required preliminary courses
The following work requirements are mandatory and must be approved in order to prepare for the exam:
- A standard learning agreement must be entered into between the project provider / supervisor and the student(s), and this must be approved by the course coordinator before the project can start.
- An oral mid-term presentation, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 10 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A.
The deadlines for submitting the project outline and minutes of the meetings will be presented in the teaching plan, which is made available at the beginning of the semester.
Learning outcomes
Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:
- A project report, of 2,000 words +/-10%, describing how the assignment has been solved, and demonstrating that the students have a fundamental grasp of the processes and the methods that have been employed.
- A ten-minute video presentation demonstrating the learning outcomes that the students have achieved during their work with the project.
The portfolio is assessed as a whole and given a single grade, but both the project report and the video presentation must be passed in order for the portfolio to receive a grade E or higher.
For group projects, all members of the group receive the same grade. Under exceptional circumstances, individual grades can be assigned at the discretion of the project supervisor(s) and Head of Studies.
The exam result can be appealed.
Teaching and learning methods
On successful completion of the course, the student has the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student
- can describe the practice placement’s professional basis and how the it describes the purpose of its activities
- can describe the practice placement's quality, notification and non-conformity systems
- can describe case processing procedures used at the practice placement
- can explain the practice placement’s reporting and patient record system
- can explain the content and structure of different types of reports used at the practice placement
- can explain symptoms of illness
- can explain how the most common diseases are treated, as well as rehabilitation measures
- can explain the importance of illness to good health
- can explain how environmental factors can influence behaviour
- can reflect on end-of-life care
Skills
The student
- can apply the social educator work model and other relevant tools and methods in planning and carrying out health care in case of illness and failing health
- can administer prescribed medication under the supervision of authorised health personnel
- can use the Norwegian Pharmaceutical Product Compendium (Felleskatalogen) and The Norwegian Medicines Manual for Health Personnel (Legemiddelhåndboka) when administering medicines, with a particular focus on effects, side effects and drug interactions
- can carry out practical procedures independently within his/her field of competence in accordance with VAR-Healthcare
- can carry out basic infection control measures in his/her practice
- can document health care in accordance with applicable guidelines and legislation
- can use health and welfare technology at the practice placement
- can apply basic communication skills such as active listening, asking questions and providing constructive feedback
- can apply up-to-date knowledge and relevant results from research and development work in his/her practice
- can carry out specified literature searches in Norwegian and English in relevant databases
- can communicate the role of the social educator as authorised health professionals to the practice placement
General competence
The student
- can plan and carry out basic care procedures and day-to-day care in a compassionate and professionally sound manner
- can carry out medicine administration in a professionally sound manner
- can identify the resources and needs of service recipients and address them through holistic care work
- can explain laws and regulations that regulate the provision of services to service recipients

Course requirements
Two internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.
Assessment
The course builds on computer science courses from the first year of the programme.
Grading scale
Combined exam:
Part 1) Assessment of supervised practical training. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment made of the student's achievement of the learning outcomes for the practical training course. Students can only be assessed if they meet the minimum attendance requirement of 90% for the practical training. The minimum attendance requirement for the practical training period is 90%.
Part 2) Individual written assignment relating to the practical training, up to 2,000 words.
Both parts have to be assessed as passet to receive a final assessment for the course.
Resit assessment/exam: If a student fails one part of the exam, he/she must retake the part in question. Students who fail part 1) practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training course. Students who fail part 2) project exam are given two (2) opportunities to submit a reworked version, since this assignment is so closely linked to the practical training.
Students can appeal the grade awarded for part 2 (the project exam).
The following applies to all practical training courses in the programme
The supervised practical training is assessed as passed or failed. Three elements must be passed in order for students to pass a period of practical training:
- Compulsory attendance
- Learning outcomes
- Suitability
To pass the supervised practical training, the student must have met the compulsory attendance requirement. A minimum attendance requirement of 90% applies to practical training courses. If the maximum limit for absence is exceeded, the student can make up for the practical training/teaching activities missed if practically possible. If it is not possible to compensate for the absence, the whole period of supervised practical training must be retaken. This will result in delayed progress in the programme.
