Students are assessed by an industrial tutor and an academic tutor on a pass/fail basis. The industrial tutor assesses the student on an ongoing basis and submits to DCU a final evaluation after the student has completed the placement. The academic tutor visits the student approximately 2 months into placement and grades the student’s performance, relating this to the INTRA office. Finally, the student will submit a written report on their placement, which is graded by the academic supervisor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
