ASSESSMENT TASK	TASK TYPE	WEIGHTING	COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Professional Practice Portfolio	Summative	20%	1, 5
Oral Presentation (2 x 10% each)	Summative	20%	2, 4, 5
Workplace Supervisor Report	Summative	20%	2 - 6
Project report	Summative	40%	2 - 6

Professional Practice Portfolio (20%): In this portfolio, the student will record the professional practice activities that they have completed, which they have negotiated with the CourseCo-ordinator. These will be drawn from a set of activities defined by the school including topics such as professional ethics, project management, communication skills and cultural competency. Students should also include here details of their career development activities such as conference and/or workshop attendance.

Oral presentation (20%): Students will undertake 2 presentations worth10% each. The first one will detail their project, the background of the issue and other details as negotiated with their supervisor. The second presentation will outline the results of the project. The presentations should be 15 minutes and can be undertaken either at the workplace or at the School of Public Health (by negotiation).  The oral presentation should follow the format of a paper presented to a learned society and should use appropriate audiovisuals(eg Powerpoint, Prezi). There will be up to 10 minutes for questions from the audience.

Supervisor report (20%): A report from the workplace supervisor for face to face students (or the University supervisor for online students) which assesses the student against professional performance expectations such as attendance, participation, completion of assigned duties, teamwork and communication, writing skills, initiative, ability to apply public health concepts, openness to suggestions, skills and knowledge acquired, student feedback to the workplace staff/team, overall satisfaction with the student’s performance and project output.

Project report (40%): The project report in a format appropriate to the project and describes the methods and outcomes of the project and situates the project within the context of the organisation’s mission and goals. (A word limit of up to 3,000 words dependent on the nature of the project).  

Extensions
All extensions for assignments must be requested, at the latest, by the last working day before the due date of submission. 
Extensions will generally be granted only on medical or genuine compassionate grounds.

Supporting documentation must be provided at the time a student requests an extension. Without documentation, extensions will not be granted. Supporting documentation will be required when requesting an extension. Examples of documents that are acceptable include: a medical certificate that specifies dates of incapacity, a police report (in the case of lost computers, car &
household theft etc.), a letter from a Student Counsellor, Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) or Disability Liaison Officer that provides an assessment of compassionate circumstances, or a letter from an independent external counsellor or appropriate professional able to verify the student’s situation.

Late requests for extension will neither be accepted nor acknowledged.

Only the Course Co-ordinator(s) may grant extensions.  The length of any extension granted will take into account the period and severity of any incapacity or impact on the student. Extensions of more than 10 days will not be granted except in exceptional circumstances.

Late submission
Marks will be deducted when assignments for which no extension has been granted are handed in late. All assignments, including those handed in late, will be assessed on their merits. In the case of late assignments where no extension has been granted, 5 percentage points of the total marks possible per day will be deducted. If an assignment that is 2 days late is awarded 65% on its merits, the mark will then be reduced by 10% (5% per day for 2 days) to 55%. If that same assignment is 4 days late, the mark will be reduced by 20% (5% per day for 4 days) to 45%, and so on.

The School of Public Health reserves the right to refuse to accept an assignment that is more than 7 days late. Assignments submitted after the due date may not be graded in time to be returned on the listed return dates.

Students submitting examinable written work who request (and receive) an extension that takes them beyond the examination period are advised that there is no guarantee that their grades will be processed in time to meet usual University deadlines.

Resubmission
If a student is dissatisfied with an assessment grade they should follow the Student Grievance Resolution Process
/student/grievance/process/.

Students who are not satisfied with a particular assessment result should raise their concerns with Course Co-ordinator(s) in the first instance. This must be done within 10 business days of the date of notification of the result.  Resubmission of any assignment is subject to the agreement of the Course Co-ordinator(s) and will only be permitted for the most compelling of reasons.

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.

The School of Public Health greatly values the feedback we receive from our students as it helps us to continuously improve our courses, so we encourage all of our students to complete SELTs regularly for every course.
