Assessment Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Word Count (equivalent)	Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
Referencing / Plagiarism for academic writing	Formative		150	1-9
Peer Group Work 1. Communication Matrix 2. Essay	Summative	10% 40%	300 1500	1 - 5
Tutorials	Summative	10%	300	1-4, 6-9
Concept map - legislation	Summative	40%	1500	6-8, 10

ASSESSMENT 1: Referencing / Plagiarism for academic writing
Referencing for academic writing: students will need to complete a series of quizzes to identify plagiarism and correct referencing technique. The aim of this formative assignment is to establish sound academic writing habits early within the first year of the program. A series of passages will be taken from accompanying textbooks to illustrate the nature of precise language required for documentation in health care.

ASSESSMENT 2 Part One: Peer group work - Communication Matrix
Peer group review: small groups will be assigned a communication vignette taken from accompanying text books, selected SA Coroners findings and reality based scenarios provided by the clinical tutors. The emphasis on examination of the cases will be to identify and offer solutions to how or why a breakdown in communication occurred or how a cultural misunderstanding resulted from poor communication techniques. The use of the current SA Health communication framework, Team StePPS to frame responses will enable student to recognise current communication practices while on clinical placement. Each group will work to identify positive and negative aspects of the vignette and most importantly will communicating throughout the exercise.

ASSESSMENT 2: Part Two - Essay re Group Working - Peer group review
For part one of this assessment you worked in small groups to review a communication vignette taken from selected SA Coroners findings from 2017-19. For this part of the assessment you will write an individual essay reflecting on your learning in relation to the principles of team working and draw upon examples from your experience from part one of the assessment to support your essay.

ASSESSMENT 3: Active participation in Tutorials
There are three small group tutorials held during the course and marks will be awarded for preparatory work pre tutorials, group work during each tutorial and post tutorial work submission. As a student you self allocate the tutorial group y and attendance at all allocated tutorial sessions is expected to give students the best possible opportunity to achieve success in their assessment items and learning outcomes of the course. Non-attendance or arriving at the tutorial more than 15 minutes after the tutorial commencement time will result in no marks being allocated for that tutorial session.

ASSESSMENT 4: Concept map
Concept map – legislation: on entry to a Bachelor of Nursing program students must be registered with the 最新糖心Vlogn Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) . As this is often the first exposure of students to the many forms of legislation that inform professional nursing practice, a concept map assessment will encourage students to illustrate the relationship between law and practice. The theme of the map will be indicated from selected topics within the course such as consent, restraint and duty of care. A concept map rubric will be provided to further assist students in the development of the map. Previous examples from BNurs students will be provided as exemplars. This assessment is particularly useful prior to the student’s first clinical placement to emphasise the legal and professional boundaries that guide nursing practice. The construction of concept maps is a useful learning and revision strategy that students can adapt to support other learning needs.

Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of MyUni. TurnItin will be used to check student assignments. Students MUST keep an electronic copy of all assignments submitted. 

Extensions are generally awarded for no more than 10 working days unless there are exceptional circumstances.
To apply for an Assessment Extension, a student must submit an application for extension form prior to the assessment deadline.

Students are to ensure they are familiar with the contents of the Adelaide Nursing School Style and Referencing Guide. A PDF of this document is available through MyUni.

Student feedback from 2018 was very positive overall, the student concerns related to providing clearer direction for  assessments. The tutorials were positively evaluated, but the students would like more interactive aspects added within these sessions. Consistency between tutorial group information was raised and these concerns will be taken on board for 2019 to ensure that these do not occur again.
Small group tutorials will remain at three per course, but will include additional interactive aspects and have additional time available to explain assessments clearly. Examples of previous assessments were provided through Canvas to assist students and this will continue to occur in 2019 as well as further detailed exemplars and "assessment tips" will continue to be provided for each assessment.
The three tutorials will be held at a different time to the lecture content and I will ensure they are more interactive. These tutorials will also have 10% allocated to them which cover the preparatory, during session and post tutorial work that will be required.
