Evaluation
(B-TM-Z82410)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
| Z52610 - Reproductive medicine | |
| Z54920 - Preconceptional healthcare |
Written exam
A written exam is provided for the OLA Reproductive Medicine where theoretical knowledge is tested.
This exam includes both open-ended and multiple-choice questions. No grade correction will be applied.
Exam paper
The OLA preconceptional care is evaluated using a written paper with peer assessment.
Canvas will explain the assignments. These assignments are developed in groups, presented during class and compiled into one unit. Each assignment is presented in class group and completed. For each group, students evaluate each other using a peer assessment tool. Peer assessments are administered twice. Each time, a peer factor is calculated for each individual student. This peer factor score informs the teacher to arrive at an individual point for each student and peer-can lead to an adjustment of the group assignment score by [maximum +/- 2 points].
For further details and arrangements for submission date and place related to this evaluation: see Canvas.
Failure to complete the peer assessment, failure to include the feedback forms and failure to submit in the plagiarism detection tool will be converted, per item, into the deduction of 1 point from the final result out of 20.
Both OLAs must be taken in full in order to pass.
Evaluation consists of 2 evaluation activities: the exam result is a weighted grade determined as follows: OLA reproductive genesis (60%), preconceptional care (40%).
All communication regarding this course unit is through the Canvas environment of this course unit.
In accordance with the Education and Examination Regulations
When a student scores less than 6/20 for one of the two OLA's (reproductive medicine or preconceptional care), the student can still achieve a maximum of 9/20 for the OPO as a whole.
Restriction tolerance points
Students are allowed to use a maximum of half of their tolerance credit in student line 1-2-3 of which this OPO is part.
Information about retaking exams
This course unit allows partial mark transfers in case of partial pass mark:
- Z52610 - Reproductive medicine (during and beyond academic year)
- Z54920 - Preconceptional healthcare (during and beyond academic year)
For the second examination opportunity, the teacher for the OLA "Preconceptional Care" must be contacted at the end of June. During this discussion the group work will be evaluated and the assignment to the second examination opportunity will be determined.
For the OLA "Reproductive Medicine" the second chance is equal to the first chance.
