Assessment Detail
Formative Review
The emphasis of this program is self-motivated learning and evaluation. Regular formative review is held with the Program Director and senior teaching staff. Students are continuously provided feedback throughout their training. Assessment reviews clinical case mix and amount of diagnostic clinical experience. Deficient areas are discussed and remedied.
In all years, students are reviewed on a continuing basis in the conduct of their clinical activities, and case presentations.
Clinical assessment
Clinical work is assessed on a continuing basis by supervising tutors, feedback is provided. The student’s log book of cases is reviewed at the end of the semester. All patients allocated to each student are formally documented by production of a case folder which details the examination information, diagnosis and treatment plan decisions. The folders are essential documentation for medico-legal and academic purposes; in addition, they are scrutinized in the end of year examinations.
Students also must keep a log book in tandem with the case folders and this forms part of their portfolio of achievements during the course. The log book is also useful for specialty registration purposes and is evidence of achievement. The patient case folders are assessed at the end of semester during the case note review period between semesters.
Assignment
Students submit an essay on aspects of the seminar topics (at least 3000 words) by the end of semester.
Seminars
Students are required to present seminars.
All summative assessments are required to be satisfactorily completed.

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.

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.
