What is the grading system for the practicum?
In brief, grades of A – F are awarded for the proposal and report courses. A grade of “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” is awarded for the practicum. The proposal is evaluated by the student’s faculty advisor and the practicum director. The practicum is graded by the practicum director, with input from the preceptor. The report is comprised of two parts, the written report and the presentation. The report is evaluated by the student’s faculty advisor and the practicum director while the presentation is evaluated by all faculty in attendance. Rubrics, specifically developed for practicum assignments, are used by all evaluators. See the syllabus at http://www.hsc.wvu.edu/som/cmed/education/courses/syllabi/index.asp for more details.
