Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of Cadmus. Students MUST keep an electronic copy of all assignments submitted. Cover sheets are required for all assignments and can be accessed from the School of Nursing website.

Extension of time for submission of assignments is subject to negotiation with the course coordinator. Requests must be made before the due date of the assignment. In principle, all assignments should be submitted by the due date. However, an extension may be granted if the request is made before the due date and the usual administration procedures are followed.

Late submission without an approved extension will be penalised at the rate of 5% of available marks for each working day after the due date. Work submitted more than ten days after the due date may be returned unmarked. This action will be taken to prevent students who do get their work in on time being disadvantaged.

Whenever possible staff will turn around marked assignments within 4 weeks or earlier.

Group work component to assist in peer and team work development for clinical practice.Students have the opportunity to provide feedback to one another in their groups around participation in PBL sessions and for their group presentations. Teamwork in tutorials, group presentation assessment and PBL sessions will allow students to develop vital skills required to work and progress in a nursing profession.

More anatomy and pathophysiology are covered in the course. Stronger links are made between theory and clinical practice by applyling lecture and tutorial materials to case studies in PBL sessions. Applying knowledge to cases provides the students with the ability to use learnt infromation in the course to real clinical situations. Therefore better preparing students for clinical placements. Students will gain an understanding why knowledge in topics including anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology are important in understanding how specific nursing care can improve peoples health.
