Description
In 2015, the USU Dietetic Internship added a self-grading element to case study assignments. Under this protocol, interns evaluate their own completed case studies against detailed rubrics and give themselves a score out of ten points. Additional feedback and final scores are given by program faculty. Evaluation of this protocol shows an increase in the average score of all case studies, as well as an increase in individual interns’ scores by more than 2.0 points from the first to last case study, compared to an increase of 0.7 points the first year.
