Assessment methods and criteria

Assessment: approved - failed

A grade of "pass" is awarded when all the course assignments have been successfully completed by the deadline given in Itslearning.
All course assignments must be returned to the Itslearning platform. The assignments must be returned preferably on the first return date assigned to them and failure to return them is equivalent to a failed/completed assignment. Rejected/completed assignments will be returned according to the timetable set by the teacher.

Course content topics:
1. Organisation of rehabilitation services
2. multidisciplinary rehabilitation
ICF International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Under each content topic there are one or more returnable learning tasks. More detailed assessment criteria are indicated for each task on Itslearning in the assignment.
