HLTH SC 1002 - Create. Communicate. Connect with Health Sciences

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2017

Have you ever wondered what a career in the health and medical sciences encompasses and the attributes that you need to excel in this field? This course will explore these questions through three modules, each with a different focus and include contributions from health and medical sciences teachers and professionals. The first module will focus on the development of academic, research, communication and independent learning skills that are required for success in health and medical sciences careers. The second module will enhance student?s skills and confidence in oral, written and interpersonal communication equipping students with the capacity to provide and communicate solutions and knowledge to others. The third module will facilitate students to begin networking and connecting with active health and medical scientists through peer and staff mentors, in their very first semester of study. The learning outcomes of this course will be achieved through the delivery of seminars, interactive workshops and small group discovery experience (SGDE) where students will have the opportunity to interact with health and medical science professionals.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
