PRACTICUM GRADING RUBRIC--MHC 
PRACTICUM GRADING RUBRIC--MHC
Practicum grade is based on two set of skills--clinical skills and professional skills--which are assessed based on developmental stages. A separate score is rated for clinical skills and professional skills. Then, the two scores are averaged and a letter grade is computed based upon the student's semester in practicum.
