Students describe and evaluate current medical devices available on the market or in research trials. Product features and distinguishing characteristics are described for each of the major and minor manufacturers. Target patient groups are identified. Further product needs are identified and new design features are proposed.

Teamwork is behaviors under the control of individual team members (effort they put into team tasks, their manner of interacting with others on team, and the quantity and quality of contributions they make to team discussions.) Two characteristics define the ways in which this rubric is to be used. First, the rubric is meant to assess the teamwork of an individual student, not the team as a whole. Therefore, it is possible for a student to receive high ratings, even if the team as a whole is rather flawed. Similarly, a student could receive low ratings, even if the team as a whole works fairly well. Second, this rubric is designed to measure the quality of a process, rather than the quality of an end product. As a result, work samples or collections of work will need to include some evidence of the individual’s interactions within the team. Courtesy of AAC&U. Modified 08/12 for use in IPC by BR
