ORI1000 Introduction to Prosthetics and Orthotics Course description

Arbeids- og undervisningsformene henger nært sammen med læringsutbyttene og veksler mellom ferdighetstrening og veiledning på praksisstedet, skriftlige oppgaver og selvstudier. Studieprogresjonen kvalitetssikres gjennom studentens prosessbok, tilbakemelding på innleverte oppgaver, jevnlige oppfølgingssamtaler mellom studenten og opplæringsansvarlig, samt tett dialog mellom utdanningen og praksisstedet.

Praksis

Emnet har en 16 ukers praksisperiode som normalt er ved en tannteknisk bedrift.

Ved halvgått praksisperiode vil faglærer i samarbeid med praksisbedriften gi studenten en midtveisvurdering av faglig progresjon og skikkethet. Vurderingen skal være basert på innlevert prosessbok og opplæringsansvarliges vurdering. For de øvrige bestemmelsene som gjelder for praksis, vises til forskrift om studier og eksamen ved Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus av 26.6.2012.

Praksisperioden må være bestått før studenten kan fremstille seg til eksamen.
