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

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

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
    Blood Safe  Summative  10% 1-6
    Quizzes X 4 Summative  40% 1-6
    Clinical skills presentation and lesson plan Summative 50% 1-6
    OSCE (Oral Examination) Summative NGP Hurdle requirement 1-6
    Compulsory NCAS Placement Documents
    For each clinical placement, a written Summative Assessment must be obtained. This Summative Assessment must be completed and signed by the supervising Registered Nurse and the facilitating Clinical Lecturer. Employer Competencies (EC) must also be assessed during the placement blocks. For each placement please check the NCAS Employer Competency Schedule to see which are required as well as check with your course coordinator and Clinical lecturer on placement.

    The completed set of documents must then be submitted to MyUni one week post the individual student's respective Placement
    Block – Successful completion of these assessments is required. This is a HURDLE assessment for this course.
     

    Oral Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
    A structured clinical examination will be held during exam week. This examination will take place in the Skills Facility and each student will be assessed on a number of skills and theory relevant to the lectures and skill sessions held during the semester.  The exam uses a structured approach to the assessment of clinical skills using the online B-line system.

    The OSCE is a HURDLE this means it must be passed to enable you to progress into the next year/semester of this course.

    The timetable for this exam will be posted closer to the date.
    Assessment Related Requirements
    The OSCE for this course is a hurdle requirement. Students must pass to be eligible to attend other courses associated with clinical placement.

  • 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.

    Better understanding of what is expected on placement. The Scope of practice is gone through in great detail prior to placement. The forms are available online and at each of the placement venues.

    Peer teaching has been stated as being an addiitonal important learning tool in conjunction with clinical lecturer assistance. lecturer to student ratio was approx 1:8.

    Placement. There was a change in staff and a new system has been put in place. It would appear that this is being utilised more effectively now. Students are always informed of the placement dates at the beginning of the year and that the requirement is for full time, with no allowance available for part-time personal work in between. Placement is provided when there is availability.
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
