Learning & Teaching Modes

Learning and teaching will be delivered in a variety of modes: lectures, lectorials, online materials, simulation based activities, small group discovery learning, and workshops.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Attendance at tutorials is compulsory. While lectures are not compulsory, the material presented in a lecture will assist your ability to participate in tutorials and will provide examinable material. The development of time management skills is important for future medical practice. Students are expected to develop study skills and allocate time to self-directed learning. In Years 1-3, the standard total student workload for 24 units is 48 hours a week

Learning Activities Summary

Students will be required to attend small group tutorials, as well as lectures and workshops and undertake directed and self-directed study. Students are expected to translate this learning to tutorials and required assignments. Students will also be expected to assimilate learning from the CBL and Clinical Skills tutorials and spend considerable time in practicing skills.

Specific Course Requirements

It was an MBBS entry requirement to obtain a police check as set out in letter of offer to prospective students. You may be required to update these depending on the clinical activities or other activities in which you participate. As a medical student you will be registered with the Medical Board of 最新糖心Vlog. Any other requirements will be advised.

Small Group Discovery Experience

The predominant learning method for the MBBS Program is small group discovery learning.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment for MEDIC ST 3103A/B is combined. Students must complete both MEDIC ST 3103A/B to gain a pass mark.

Assessment Task	Task Type	Timing	Weighting
Communication skills quizzes	Summative	Semester 1	20%
Communication skills guided reflection	Summative	Semester 1	15%
Professionalism reflection 1	Formative	Semester 1
Professionalism reflection 2	Summative	Semester 2	20%
Professionalism tutorials: case based presentation	Summative	Semester 2	10%
Indigenous Cultural Workshops:	Summative	Semester 2	15%
Health Economics: assessments and assignments	Summative	Semester 2	20%

To achieve a NGP in MEDIC ST 3103A/B, Students are required to take both the Part A and the matching Part B course. Complete assessment requirements are contained within the relevant MyUni course.

To pass this course and the Third Year MBBS Examination Annual Examination Part 2 course, students must obtain:

• a satisfactory result in each of the components of the summative assessment in semesters 1 and 2; and
• a satisfactory performance in the examinations overall

If an overall borderline grade is achieved in the examinations, a student may be offered an opportunity to sit a Replacement/Additional Assessment examination.

Academic Progression Requirements
Progression from one year to the next in the MBBS is dependent on the student successfully completing a compulsory annual examination course in which a full year’s learning is assessed.

To successfully complete the MEDIC ST 3000A and MEDIC ST 3000B Third Year MBBS Examination Part 1 and Part 2courses, the student must pass the end of year examinations and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).

IF a student fails the compulsory examination course no passing grade will be received for any core medical studies courses.

IF a student has not completed all required MEDIC ST units of the year they must successfully complete an appropriate remedial course of the same or greater value as specified in Term 4 of the same academic year.

Assessment Related Requirements

There are attendance requirements which must be met. Students should also note that requirements for professional behaviour standards which are set out in the year level assessment documents.

Students should also note the requirements for professional behaviour standards which are set out in the year level assessment documents. Students must learn and appropriately use a complex set of skills to achieve the learning outcomes in the MBBS courses. These skills cannot be learnt without repeated practice, constructive feedback and then practice again. In addition, the professional
competencies required of a medical professional need to be developed. Development of competency is through discussions, observing, practicing and demonstrating. Attendance at the mandatory learning activities is essential for the progressive development of the attributes and competencies required of a medical professional. As such, attendance at core structured learning activitiesis mandatory as per the Assessment for Coursework Policy – Procedures Section 1c.

Exemptions to mandatory attendance requirements may be granted by the Program Coordinator in consultation with the relevant course coordinator and year level advisor if there are exceptional medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances as defined by the ModifiedArrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy.

Tutor assessments are based on student demonstration of knowledge, reasoning and professional competence in tutorials. All tutorials are weighted equally. Students are unable to demonstrate competence if they are not present, therefore students will receive a zero grade for tutorials where they are not present unless there are exceptional medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances as defined by the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy. Students who are absent for multiple tutorials should seek advice from the course coordinator or year level advisor.

Mandatory core structured learning activities
for this course are:

- Medical Practice tutorials/SGDE
- Indigenous cultural workshops and presentations
- Health Economics tutorials and assignments
- Formative MPPD revision and OSCE session

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

The MBBS Program has a regular program of evaluation. In addition, student representatives are appointed to MBBS committees and are encouraged to report on issues of importance to students.
Student Support
The MBBS Program website has details on Student well-being resources which can be accessed.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
