The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

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

Assessment Summary

Requirements for Year 4 of the MBBS Program

Progression from one year to the next in the MBBS is dependent on the student successfully completing an annual examination course in which a full year’s learning is assessed.

To successfully complete the annual examination course the student must pass the combined end of semester and end of year examinations, pass both hurdle requirements and have successfully completed all year level component courses (24 units).

Requirements to achieve a NGP in MEDIC ST 4000 AHO/BHO:
Task Type Weighting (%)

Assessment Task	Task Type	weighting %
End of semester OSCEs (x2)	summative	40%
End of year MCQ paper	summative	60%
Aboriginal Health Assignment	hurdle	0%
Code of conduct quiz	hurdle	0%

To pass MEDIC ST 4000 AHO/BHO, the combined score after standard setting adjustments of the two end of semester OSCEs and the end of year MCQ paper must be at least 50% per the weighting above. Additional assessment will be offered to students who score after standard setting adjustments 45%-49% in either or both of the MCQ paper and the combined OSCE, provided that the effect of a pass in the additional assessment would result in an overall pass in the examination course. Both, the Aboriginal Health Assignment and Code of conduct quiz are professional standards requirements and have to be completed as a hurdle requirement.

Requirements to achieve a NGP in core clinical placement courses:
Students are required to take both the Part A and the matching Part B course.

Assessment Related Requirements

Professional Requirements
All medical students are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Medical Board of Australia. The staff of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences manage student registration by providing a list of enrolled medical students to the AHPRA. Students do not need to register individually.

Students must adhere to the codes, guidelines and policies of these agencies. Further information about your obligations as registered members of the medical profession can be found on the websites of the registration bodies:

The 成人大片 has developed a Code of Conduct in consultation with the Medical Board of Australia to guide students and clarify expectations of student conduct on a range of issues and in various situations. The Code of Conduct is found in the corresponding Canvas Course.

The University 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 University 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.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

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.
