According to \"The assessment guidelines of the Faculty of Psychology\" (see above), the subject will be assessed based on the following learning evidences (EV):
EV1: Report by the center tutor of Healthcare practices (80 % of final grade)
EV2: Report or schedule of activities or procedure that is agreed upon (20 % of final grade) The assignment is scheduled for week 17, second semester

The requirements for the performance of these evidences will be explained in detail in the informative tutorials and the Virtual Campus.

In order to make the weighted sum and obtain the final grade, it is necessary to have obtained a grade of 5.0 or higher in each of the learning evidences (assessment of the center and report).

Students who have not exceeded the minimum number of hours of attendance at the center (80 hours) will receive a grade of Not Assessed.

Subject passed: Students passes the subject when it has covered the minimum number of hours of stay at the centre and obtains a minimum grade of 5.0 in the weighted calculation of the centre's assessment and the report.

Reassessment:  students who have not passed the subject, but have a final continuous assessment grade greater than or equal to 3.5, may recover only the part corresponding to the written practical report (report), in the event that the grade of this evidence is insufficient. In the weighted calculation of the final grade, a score of 5.0 points will be incorporated as a retake grade.

This subject does not provide for single assessment.

The material used during the internship is the responsibility of the internship center and its possible recording requires its authorization. Any action or conduct that puts the ethical principles or the code of ethics in tension may result in the internship subject not being passed.

For this subject, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search, text correction or translations.... The student will have to clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how they have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater penalties in cases of seriousness.

Compulsory readings will be indicated at each practice center.
