Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of Year 3 of the MBBS program, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

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

The 最新糖心Vlog has chosen to adopt a mixed-mode approach to the conduct of final exams in 2021. This course will have an invigilated exam for Semester 1 2021. More information will be available in the coming weeks.

Please see "Assessment Detail" for information on specific assessments.

Assessment Related Requirements

Professional Requirements
All medical students are registered with the 最新糖心Vlogn Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Medical Board of 最新糖心Vlog. The staff of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences manage student registration by providing a list of enrolled medical students to the AHPRA. Students do not need to register individually.

Students must adhere to the codes, guidelines and policies of these agencies. Further information about your obligations as registered members of the medical profession can be found on the websites of the registration bodies:

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has developed a Code of Conduct in consultation with the Medical Board of 最新糖心Vlog to guide students and clarify expectations of student conduct on a range of issues and in various situations. The Code of Conduct is found in the canvas course associated with this course. In addition, the 最新糖心Vlog has developed a Scope of Practice document which outlines appropriate activities for Year 4 students. Students should be familiar with this document, and adhere to its guidelines. The document can be found in MyUni and .

Attendance Requirements
All courses in the MBBS program have attendance requirements that are clearly outlined in the respective Course Outlines.

Assessment Detail

Assessment Task	Task Type	Timing	Weighting (%)	Course Learning Outcome Assessed
1. Professional Requirements Quiz	Summative Hurdle	Semester 1	0	3.1, 3.2
2. Medical Knowledge and Reasoning Examination (MKR) 1*	Summative	Semester 1	35	1.1-1.12, 2.1-2.5, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.8
3.Medical Knowledge and Reasoning Examination (MKR) 2*	Summative	Semester 2	35	1.1-1.12, 2.1-2.5, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.8
4. OSCE#	Summative Hurdle	Semester 2	30	1.1-1.12, 2.1-2.8, 3.1, 3.2

* The overall mark for MKR Examination is calculated by the combined mark for MKR 1 and MKR 2.

#The MKR overall and OSCE are hurdle requirements and students must achieve 50% or greater for the MKR overall, 50% or greater for the OSCE, AND 50% or greater for the composite total of all assessment tasks (MKR overall and OSCE) to be awarded NGP.

Students who achieve 50% or greater for the composite total of all assessment tasks (MKR overall and OSCE) but 45-49% for the MKR overall OR OSCE will be offered an additional assessment. If students achieve <50% for both MKR and OSCE, no additional assessment will be offered.

Students who achieve 45-49% for a composite total of all assessment tasks (MKR overall and OSCE) but >50% for either the MKR overall or OSCE will be offered an additional assessment.

All additional assessments will take place during the Semester 2 replacement / additional examination period. The result of a passed additional assessment is 50%

Progression Requirements

* NGP is defined in Grade Scheme 8. Requirements to achieve NGP in courses are detailed in the relevant course outline.

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 progress into year 4 a student must pass MEDIC ST 3000A and 3000B - Third Year MBBS Examination Part 1 and Part 2 courses and have achieved a pass in all year level components (24 units).

To successfully complete the MEDIC ST 3000A and MEDIC ST 3000B courses, 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.

A student will only be eligible for summer school if the following criteria are met:
• The student does not have a recorded breach of genuine academic misconduct;
• The student has completed all formative and summative assessment tasks within the failed course;
• The student has attended more than 80% of teaching activities for which attendance is recorded across the academic year, within the failed course.

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.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

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.
