Online resources will be provided throughout the course in lectures and tutorials.

Timetabled self-directed study sessions to allow review of pre-class content covering all important concepts of the pathophysiology of human disease.
Face-to-face sessions (lectures, tutorials and SGDE) involving engaging and interactive team-based learning and SGDE activities to apply learned concepts to nursing practice 
Face-to-face sessions offer synchronous evaluation of learning and immediate feedback opportunities to enable students to quickly clarify concepts.
The content for this course is supported by numerous online resources and the recommended textbooks.
This course utilises the audio and video capture of lecture content as an aid to revision.

SGDE groups are created to allow students to experience working in a team, which is an essential skill for both academic and professional development. These activities are also intended to encourage in-depth learning, as one of the university graduate attributes.Through this, they will interact with their peers in completing a group task for the semester. Each group is expected to create a group written submission and a group short presentation of the assigned topic.

Assessment 1: Weekly In-Class Assessment  (online)
Due date: weekly sessions Monday morning 8.20-8.35 am from 24th April to Monday 29th May 2018. Five pre-tests in total
Weighting: total of 5% 
Description: Weekly MCQs will evaluate pre-class learning. The individual score will account for 5% of the mark. The answers and explanations to each of the questions will be provided at the end of each session to allow immediate student feedback and self-appraisal.

Assessment 2: Weekly Post-Class Assessment (online)
Due date: Outside classroom, weekly, opens every Friday afternoon 2.00 pm to the following Monday 23.59 pm. Five post-tests in total
Weighting: total of 20%
Description: Weekly MCQs will evaluate post-class learning. The score will account for 20% of the mark. The answers and explanations to each of the questions will be provided to allow immediate student feedback and self-appraisal.

Assessment 3: Mid Semester Test
Due date: Tuesday, 15th May 2018, 8.10-9.00 
Weighting:15% 
Description: This test will examine lecture material from the first half of this semester (weeks 1-5 content only). It will contain 20 MCQs / and 5 SAQs. The time allocated is 40 minute 

Assessment 4: End of Semester Test
Due date: Exact date and time to be specified: www.adelaide.edu.au/governance/principal_dates
Weighting:40%
Description: The written examination is aimed at ascertaining each student’s grasp of the principles and core course content presented during this module and will be held in the university’s official examination period. It will contain MCQ / SAQs. The time allocated will be 100 mins, but many students should be able to complete it in less than this. Note that a range of questions will be used, which will require students to apply information in defined clinical settings. 

Assessment 5: SGDE assignments (total of 20%)
SGDE group written assignment (7.5%)
This is a short essay (500 words) and will assess students’ abilities to research and undertake high quality research on a topic related to pathophysiology of human disease and working in a team. This assessment task is to enable students to present health information to the scientific audiences in a clear, concise and scientific way. Assessment will be marked using a rubric.
SGDE group oral presentation (7.5%)
The SGDE Group oral presentation takes inspiration from the prestigious “3-Minute Thesis” competitions. This is a short, 3-minute discussion, highlighting the major key aspects of a disease management. This style of high-impact/short-time presentations will provide essential communication skills that will be utilised in the clinical setting when conversing with medical colleagues, After the oral presentation, there will be a 2-minute question and answer session for students to reinforce or elaborate in key concepts covered during the 3-minutes oral presentation. Assessment will be marked using a rubric.
SGDE Participation (5%) 
Participation of each student during SGDE/Tutorial will be assessed by tutors using a rubric to encourage students to improve their ability and responsibility to work as a team.

FINAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In order to pass Biology of Human Disease I, students are required to have completed all components of the assessment (i.e. weekly MCQ tests, mid-semester examination and the end of semester examination). Absence at more than 2 of the 6 tutorials will require the provision of appropriate paperwork documenting medical and/or compassionate reasons for non-attendance at the relevant session. Students failing to meet these requirements may either fail outright or be required to sit supplementary examinations.

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