Assessment Summary

Academic Progression Requirements

As defined by the Academic Progress by Coursework Students Policy, the MBBS is a yearly program

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

To successfully complete the annual examination the student must pass the combined end of semester and end of year examinations, all hurdle requirements and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).

To progress into year 2 a student must pass MEDIC ST 1000A/B - First Year MBBS Examination Part 1/2, and have successfully completed all year level components (24 units).

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.

Medicine Language and Learning is an optional course open to MBBS students which has an emphasis on effective communication, essential to the successful practice of medicine. This includes exploring the impact of culture on communication. It is designed for international students but is open to all students, regardless of language and cultural background. Delivery of the program is in small group sessions.
Further information about Medicine Language and Learning can be found in the course outline.

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.
