Clinical Small Group teaching

Compensation is to be decided by the teaching department.

PBL tutorials

A student who has attended between 70 and 80 % of the PBL tutorials, may get his/hers attendance approved by handing in a significant compensation assignment to the tutor.

The starting point is the PBL assignment in the week for which a compensation is required. The presentation must document the entire work process in a week of PBL instruction.

The written work must be 4-5 typed pages. The supervisor assesses the assignment and provides feedback to the student. If the assignment is not approved it must be re-written and handed in again.
