    Assessment Detail

    Laboratory Assignment: Students will have their first experience with a ‘standardised patient’ where they will undertake a patient history taking. After the patient encounter students will be required to undertake the history taking online module, related to their experience with the patient history taking. The assessment details and rubric in MyUni, provide detailed information for this assignment.

    Clinical Assignment:     Students will work through acute disease presentations which will include identification and immediate life interventions and treatment.
    The online MCQ question assignment requires students to work through the online questionnaire.

    Online Assessments:     There are several online assessments which must be completed by each individual home team due date. This includes a confidentiality agreement. You will find the individual submission dates within your home group tab.


    Group Work Presentation:     Group work is an essential skill for students to become active participants in their learning. Your team will select an agreed health topic to present to your peers. This will assist your team in developing skills required for tackling complex problems. You will delegate roles, share diverse perspectives, pool skills and knowledge, and hold each member of the team accountable. This assignment culminates in a group presentation and shared grade.

    OSCE:     This is an Objective Structured Clinical Exam, commonly referred to as an OSCE. In this clinical exam, students are assessed on their clinical skills, knowledge and competence, gained throughout the course.
    Submission
    Submission details will be provided on MyUni.

  • Student Feedback

    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 was a new course in 2017. We hope that modifications made as a result of student feedback has enhanced the course for 2021 and look forward to receiving further feedback which will help us to continue to build a course which meets the needs of those aspiring to be Australia's future health professionals.
