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

No information currently available.

Assessment Detail

ASSESSMENT 1: IBL PARTICIPATION
Due Date: Ongoing throughout semester
Weighting: NGP and 10%
Length: Ongoing throughout course

This is both a formative and summative assessment. Inquiry based learning is an active process involving significant communication between tutors and students.

During this course students will work to apply their knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, fundamentals of nursing, patient education, primary health care to the series of health problems presented.

Assessment 2: SHOCK CONCEPT MAP & BRIEFING PAPER
Due Date: Late August/Early September 2020
Weighting: 30%
Length: Map plus 500 word briefing paper
Construct a concept map describing shock. You may choose to portray an overview of shock. Or you might like to concentrate on a particular aspect. Particular shock topics could include:

A shock type, such as anaphylactic, septic or haemorrhagic
Shock management
ICU management of shock
Haemodynamic changes with developing shock

This will be discussed in class and there will be exemplars from previous students available on MyUni

Assessment 3: CASE REVIEW PRESENTATION
Due Date: End of Semester 2
Weighting: 60%
Length: 20 min presentation

Students must choose a case and deliver a seminar presentation where they are required to critically analyse the case in regards to the safety and quality in line with current contemporary practice and evidence based care. The presentation must be referenced as per the school’s academic manual and additional supporting information to be discussed in the presentation is to be included in the student's notes.

Submission

Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of MyUni. 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.

Course Grading

Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)

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.

Not applicable due to low number of responses.

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.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
