Counselling and Psychotherapy Theories differs from the skills-based courses, such as Counselling Skills 1, as its primary
purpose is to enable students to develop a broad understanding of a variety of theoretical models of counselling and psychotherapy,
and how of each these therapeutic approaches may be applied in effective counselling practice. That is, this course does not require you to demonstrate the skills of each of the counselling models presented.

Assessment tasks have been designed to expand your knowledge base to a broad range of counselling and psychotherapy theories  and approaches that will ensure you have a sound level of ‘theoretical literacy’ when you undertake Placement in a counselling agency.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

In addition to weekly 3 hour lectures students will be asked to work, at times, in small groups in class, as well as to participate in a group project for Assessment Task 2. This will enable student learners to identify and attain professional competence in theoretical  knowledge that links theory with practice.

The teaching methods in this course will employ a range of techniques to allow the integration and understanding of the content  presented. Group-work and in-class practical and reflective activities will be employed in addition to the traditional methods of  communicating information. Consequently, it is expected that by creating an environment that promotes the practice of individual  responsibility as essential for students in managing their own and others learning, it will also complement the expectations that 
current professional counselling and psychotherapy workplaces adopt.

Further,it is assumed that all students are of a mature age, professionally educated and motivated to adopt the responsibilities  associated with post-graduate study. Therefore, a level of intellectual effort (including a minimum of 10 hours of private study time  outside of formal class time per week), and a level of commitment and participation in class activities, is expected.

Finally, please note that the timetable may change according to guest lecturer availability.

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.
