| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | 1. During the placement, the student is guided by the RSU Liepāja Branch Placement Regulation, Placement Programme and current guidelines in order to implement the goals and tasks set for the placement, as well as by the internal regulations of the relevant structural unit. 2. During the placement, the student completes a Placement Logbook in compliance with the conditions (see the Placement Programme). 3. The student works at least 40 academic hours per week (1 academic hour = 45 min). The assignments and duration of the placement depend on the curriculum. During the placement, the student is involved in the daily work. 4. At the end of the placement, the student submits the Placement Logbook within 3 days after the end of the placement to the head of the study programme and completes the placement evaluation questionnaire. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 1. The student’s performance in each part of the placement (in the first, second and third year of studies) is assessed by the placement supervisor. 2. Within three days (in the first, second and third year of studies), the student shall submit properly prepared Placement Documents (see Section VII) to the head of the study programme. 3. Head of the RSU Liepāja Branch programme (in the first, second and third year of studies), on the basis of the documents submitted, prepares an overall assessment of the placement. 4. The placement is passed (in the first, second and third year of studies), if the student: a) has worked 100% of the hours prescribed in the study programme; b) submits a correctly drawn up Placement Logbook on time; c) has obtained a positive assessment at each place of placement, i.e. not less than 9 points, equivalent to the grade of 4 points. 5. After the placement (in the first, second and third year of studies), the placement process and report documents, including the self-assessment, are analysed. 6. If the student receives a negative evaluation in any of the placements (in the first, second and third year of studies), then the provisions of Academic Regulations I 5.13–5.16.3 shall apply. | ||||||||
