We meten in deze evaluatie vooral je attitude als toekomstig sociaal werker en het proces dat je binnen de leergroep van P-OR aflegt. Elke afwezigheid moet gewettigd worden via i-Bamaflex. Ongewettigde afwezigheden geven aanleiding tot puntenverlies (1 punt per ongewettigde afwezigheid op het eindtotaal van de permanente evaluatie). De punten voor 'vaardigheidstoets permanent' worden overgedragen naar tweede zittijd. Voor meer specifieke info en richtlijnen zie studiewijzer.
