Teaching and learning methods

The work and teaching methods comprise supervised clinical training, group supervision organised by the contact lecturer at OsloMet, and writing reflection notes.

Practical training

Fifteen weeks of clinical training and one day of practical training preparations. The content of the practical training periods will vary with the activities at the institution where the practical training takes place at any time, and will therefore offer varied arenas for clinical training in terms of problems, diagnoses and complexity.

  • practical training document, pursuant to specific criteria
  • 3 reflection notes of 1,000 words (+/- 10%) each. If the student takes driving instruction as part of PARAPRA2AB, the required coursework is 2 reflection notes of 1,000 words (+/- 10%).

Part 1) Assessment of clinical training. A compulsory attendance requirement applies to clinical training. Students must make up for absence exceeding 10% by agreement with the practical training supervisor and the practical training institution. If a student's absence exceeds 20%, he/she will fail the course.
