Assessment Grading

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

4 On-campus Activity

Assessment Title
On-Campus Activity (50%)

Task Description

There are two parts to the On-Campus Activity:

A. There will be on-campus practical assessments designed to develop student's psychomotor skills, orthopedic, neurological examination and diagnostic skills, patient assessment and management protocols. The on-campus activities will occur each tutorial from week 1- 10. The purpose of these on-campus activities is to provide ongoing feedback to students regarding their performance as it concerns the acquisition of their practical skills in a contextual nature helping to develop assessment and management procedures including adjustment/manipulation techniques. These on-campus activities must be completed during each tutorial. They cannot be made up at any other time unless a prearranged extension has been granted. Upload this register to Moodle for weeks 1-5 for a record of your work by the end of Week 5 Sunday 15/8/2021 at 6 PM and for weeks 6-10 by the end of Week 10 Friday 24/9//2021 at 11:45PM.

B. Group cluster assessment.  

The purpose of this assessment is for the student to begin to understand the importance of combining (clustering) both patient history and physical examination in achieving an accurate diagnosis leading to better treatment. Tests in isolation can have poorer correlation to identify the tissue-generating pain. The group will research a negotiated condition and produce a 6-10-minute video explaining the benefits of clustering. A GROUP ALLOCATION FORM must be submitted before the end of Week 3 Friday July 30th, 2021, at 6:00 PM AEST. and the final video, self-reflection, addendum form and references must be submitted by Week 8 Friday (Sept 10th, 2021) 6:00 PM AEST.

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?
