This course uses a blend of lectures, tutorials and workshops (some are delivered online) to identify situations that inform and are informed by clinical practice. The opportunity for students to recognise aspects of clinical care issues and consider these in the light of lecture material is significant. Student observations reinforce aspects of nursing theory and contribute to the wider development of the group. Differences between hospitals and other health care settings also form an educational aspect to support the lecture content.

The workload for this course requires attendance at:
• 1 x 3 hour lecture / week
• 1 x 2 hour tutorial / week
• 2 x 2 hour SLE
Non-contact hours for assessment and tutorial preparation will be 12 hours per week

Using Turnitin
Go to this webpage for step-by-step instructions for submitting an assignment using Turnitin: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/myuni/tutorials/content/Turnitin_submitting_as_a_Student.html
Turnitin is an electronic program that students can use to check that they are referencing correctly. When you submit an assignment to this program, you will receive an "originality report" and an "originality score" - these will let you know if you have accidently used the words of other authors - any areas of your work that are too close to your original resources will be highlighted. To see this report, after you have submitted your assignment, go back into the program and click on "view" - this will show you your assignment with an similar text highlighted. See http://www.turnitin.com/en_us/products/originalitycheck for more information on Originality reports.

Bear in mind that this program is very sensitive - don't worry too much if you seem to have a high originality score as the program includes quotes and references in the count. However, it is important that you check the text that is highlighted, if it is a correctly referenced quote or an item in your reference list that is highlighted then you can ignore it but if the highlighted text that isn't a quote or reference you will need to re-writing those sections in your own words.

After you have successfully submitted your assignment you will receive an email confirming that your assignment has been submitted correctly. If you do not receive this email then go back and try again. Keep hold of this email, just in case there are any issues with your assignment submission as we may need to view this email to confirm your submission date and time.

You can submit multiple times to this program - each new submission supersedes the previous, so we will only ever mark the latest version of your assignment! We encourage all students to practice with Turnitin before the final due date to make sure you know what you're doing.

A word of warning: although the program permits multiple submissions from a single student, Turnitin has a 24hour lag between assignment submissions. For example, if you submit an assignment to the program at 10am on Sunday, you may not be able to submit again until 10am MONDAY! Be very careful to avoid a situation wherein you are unable to submit the final version of your assignment until after the final deadline. Falling into the 24hr lag window will not be grounds to avoid a lateness penalty.
