    • active listening
    • reflection and clarifying
    • effective questioning
    • summarising and paraphrasing.

    Students will complete responses to demonstrate their knowledge and the appropriate application of the key skills outlined above. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the advanced knowledge of students as it relates to each stage of the interview.

    Assessment 2 assesses professional communication and interpersonal skills, including identifying areas for further development. In Assessment 2—Part A, students will conduct a 7-minute interview (via Zoom), which will be recorded and observed by the tutor. The interview is standardised. Students are evaluated on their demonstration of key interview behaviours. Students then complete a reflective assessment (800 words) of their own performance (Part B).

    Assessment 3: Case Formulation (1800 words)
    Students will apply culturally appropriate responses to a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) case study. The purpose of this assessment is for students to use critical analysis to apply their knowledge in relation to advanced professional communication and interpersonal skills and case formulation.

  • 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.
