Short description

In physical awareness, students further explore ways to prepare themselves for a sustainable career. The body is the instrument, not only physically but also artistically.
Physical Awareness 2 consists of two different modules: LAB and Condition
In LAB (Physical Artistic Awareness = 30h), one's own relaxed-supportive posture is further explored and, in addition, the body is discovered as an artistic presence in the theatrical space.
In Condition = 30h, students continue working on strengthening their own bodies under the guidance of a physiotherapist.

Evaluation (text)

The student is continuously assessed on motivation, skills, attitude and evolution during the lessons. Class attendance is compulsory; unauthorised absences are therefore deducted from the final result.

Assessment
100% skills test hands-on permanent (P)

A grading standard will be used for the permanent assessment component.
The subject group will first give a mark on the evolution process and competences, and this will be recalculated depending on the percentage of absence, according to the rules below:
In case of more than 10% unauthorised absence, the student can get max 18/20;
At more than 20% unauthorised absence, the student can obtain max 16/20;
At a maximum of 30% unauthorised absence, the student can achieve max 14/20;
At more than 30% unauthorised absence, the student can achieve max 12/20;

Example:
Student X gets 14/20 and was max30% absent.
X can get max 14/20.
14 : 20 x 14 = 9,8
Student X achieves 10/20 despite good basic competencies.

No second examination opportunity possible.
