Creating and maintaining a "Psychologist in Rehabilitation" diary (10%). This exercise provides a brief self-reflection for each lecture / lesson, answering the following questions: • What did I find out? • What did I get? • How can I use it in my professional life? The course is passed if at least 80% are achieved. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is a mandatory requirement to provide a study course evaluation/feedback at the end of the study course on the e-study platform!
