The textbook for this course is: Fleming, M & Parker, E (2007) Health Promotion: Principles and Practice in the 最新糖心Vlogn Context. 3rd Edition. Crows Nest: Allen and Unwin

Students will have access to a series of readings which will be made available electronically through MyUni.

All written assignments will be submitted electronically through TURNITIN.

All referencing for assignments should use the Vancouver Referencing System. Detailed examples of this can be found at:  (accessed 2/06/15)

The course will draw on online learning resources such as relevant recorded lectured from local teaching staff and externally – e.g. TED talks and You Tube recordings. These will be coordinated and made accessible to students through MyUni.

Weekly two hour seminars: will be used to ‘anchor’ the learning of the class, to clarify core concepts, explore relationships between  the material covered and to work through examples of concepts.

Seminars will include a mix of guest speakers with expertise in specific health promotion issues, theoretical approaches or workplace  settings.

Weekly one hour tutorials: will give students the opportunity to apply the concepts covered in seminars and online learning to engage in group activities and discussion Seminars and tutorials will be supported by online learning activities and relevant readings to  introduce core concepts, which will be applied and discussed in the face to face classes.

Teaching in Health Promotion III begins with the assumption that students are active participants in the learning process, rather than passive recipients of information. We assume that you are willing and able to prepare fully for classes, to participate in discussions and to carry your share of the workload.

Students are expected to attend all sessions and attendance sheets will be kept.

As a general rule, in any university course you will need to allow a minimum of three independent hours of study for every hour undertaken in formal class work contact. This means that, for Health Promotion III, you will have to set aside at least a further 9 hours/week for reading around topics, preparation for class activities and work on assignments.

You are urged to bear this in mind when planning your university timetable, particularly if you are also engaged in paid employment. In our experience, students may not be able to demonstrate their full capacity if they are working full time and studying full time.

The course is divided into 3 modules:

1. What is Health Promotion: background, theory and approaches

2. The theory base

3. Health promotion in practice

Details of each module can be found in the Course Handbook.

Quiz (5%)

Assignment 1 (20%): 1500 word essay describing and critiquing major approaches to health promotion related to a specific condition, population or setting

Assignment 2: (30%) Health Promotion Program Plan 2000 – 2,500 words. Students will describe the evidence based approaches that could be implemented to address the health promotion issue they have identified. They should include consideration of alignment with strategic health priorities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander relevance and impact, equity issues, community partnership and engagement as well as communication and evaluation of the proposed program.

Group Assignment: (10%) Each group will develop a series of questions to be asked of the expert panels. Questions should be based on an understanding of health promotion theory and contemporary challenges in health promotion. Students will self and peer assess their participation in the group process

Assignment 3: (35%) A 2500 word essay which brings together learning throughout the semester. Following a brief summary of the findings of Assignments 1 and 2 (including consideration of feedback received), students will reflect on their plan considering current policy and program approaches. This will include an analysis of current challenges and potential new strategies to address them.

Extensions
All extensions for assignments must be requested, at the latest, by the last working day before the due date of submission.   Extensions will generally be granted only on medical or genuine compassionate grounds.  Supporting documentation must be  provided at the time a student requests an extension.  Without documentation, extensions will not be granted.  Late requests for  extension will neither be accepted nor acknowledged.

Only the Course Co-ordinator(s) may grant extensions.
 
Supporting documentation will be required when requesting an extension. Examples of documents that are acceptable include: a  medical certificate that specifies dates of incapacity, a police report (in the case of lost computers, car & household theft etc.), a  letter from a Student Counsellor, Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) or Disability Liaison Officer that provides an assessment of  compassionate circumstances, or a letter from an independent external counsellor or appropriate professional able to verify the  student’s situation.  The length of any extension granted will take into account the period and severity of any incapacity or impact on the student.  Extensions of more than 10 days will not be granted except in exceptional circumstances.

Late submission
Marks will be deducted when assignments for which no extension has been granted are handed in late.

All assignments, including those handed in late, will be assessed on their merits.  In the case of late assignments where no  extension has been granted, 5 percentage points of the total marks possible per day will be deducted.  If an assignment that is 2  days late is awarded 65% on its merits, the mark will then be reduced by 10% (5% per day for 2 days) to 55%.  If that same  assignment is 4 days late, the mark will be reduced by 20% (5% per day for 4 days) to 45%, and so on.

The School of Public Health reserves the right to refuse to accept an assignment that is more than 7 days late.

Assignments submitted after the due date may not be graded in time to be returned on the listed return dates.

Students submitting examinable written work who request (and receive) an extension that takes them beyond the examination period are advised that there is no guarantee that their grades will be processed in time to meet usual 最新糖心Vlog deadlines.
 
Resubmission
If a student is dissatisfied with an assessment grade they should follow the Student Grievance Resolution Process  </student/grievance/process/>.  Students who are not satisfied with a particular assessment result should raise their concerns with Course Co-ordinator(s) in the first instance.  This must be done within 10 business days of the  date of notification of the result.  Resubmission of any assignment is subject to the agreement of the Course Co-ordinator(s) and  will only be permitted for the most compelling of reasons.

Additional assessments on medical, compassionate or a mix of medical and compassionate grounds are available to eligible students who have a Fail grade, or any pass grade up to Distinction level, if it is considered that the impairment suffered was sufficient to prevent the student from achieving a higher grade.

Students who achieve a mark in the range of 45-49% may be offered a replacement or additional assessment. This is discretionary, and will depend on students having attempted all assessments.

Details and application forms for additional assessments are available on the Examinations Website, at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/. Students who wish to apply for an additional assessment on medical or compassionate grounds must apply through their School or Faculty within 7 days of the occurrence of the condition or circumstances

Students are reminded that plagiarism constitutes a serious offence and can result in disciplinary procedures and are advised to read the academic honesty policy.

Points to remember include:

Referencing: providing a full bibliographic reference to the source of the citation (in a style as determined by the Discipline).

Quotation: placing an excerpt from an original source into a paper using either quotation marks or indentation, with the source cited, using an approved referencing system in order to give credit to the original author.

Paraphrasing: repeating a section of text using different words which retain the original meaning. Please note changing just a few words does not constitute paraphrasing and will be considered plagiarism if not appropriately referenced.

If you submit work which includes direct quotes without attribution you will fail your assignment and are likely to be subject to disciplinary procedures.
