Assessment methods

Students will be assessed through the preparation of a written assignment covering the courses “Nursing Caring Applied to Priority Health Problems (PHPs),” “Health Literacy,” and “Health Needs and Care Management in Community Care Settings.” The assignment is intended to evaluate students’ ability to critically process and integrate the course content. The written assignment will subsequently be discussed during an oral examination.

The assignment must be submitted to the professors at least 10 days before the scheduled oral discussion date. Both components, the written assignment and the oral discussion,will contribute to the final grade, which will cover all three courses.

The grade for the Integrated Course (I.C.) “Elective T” will be determined based on the average grade obtained in the other assessments of the Integrated Course.
