Grading System
Students are evaluated throughout their graduate career on their knowledge of theoretical concepts; awareness of relevant research findings; ability to synthesize, communicate and apply knowledge; and mastery of clinical skills. Student evaluation is based on direct observation of performance. In course work, the recommended method of evaluation is by examination or papers, although projects and presentations are also frequent. A majority of classes also include some experiential component, with a portion of the course grade based on class attendance, participation, and so forth. In clinical case seminars, evaluation of work samples is preferred. Faculty members are encouraged to provide feedback to students early in the term.
