Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Head of College Nursing advised of the changes in Gerontology courses.

Feedback

In 2020 the Master of Gerontology Course was cancelled due to COVID 19 and subsequent staffing changes. This unit remained as an elective of the Graduate Certificate/Diploma of Gerontology

Recommendation

The unit changes were a result of unit development. Changes include unit update proposal with changes of title and unit outcomes.

Feedback from Assessment feedback from students via unit coordinator

Feedback

The portfolio task confused some students. The Unit Coordinator suggests the use of an exemplar would support student understanding.

Recommendation

Add an examplar

Feedback from Student feedback in student evaluation

Feedback

Changing staff in middle of course is inappropriate . No time to build relationship,

Recommendation

Suggest offering students a zoom to introduce themselves (new coordinator) at the commencement of the appointment, if this occurs in the future.

Feedback from Student feedback in student evaluation

Feedback

"I loved the written assessment task. It was practical and interesting. The modules and Jen's videos were informative and engaging. Jen has done a great job with the videos as it created a better learning environment and not just reading off a slide"

Recommendation

Continue to use practical and interesting assessment tasks and use video recordings to explain tasks

Feedback from Student feedback in student evaluation

Feedback

" expand and explain your answers above.Quiz is the best aspect of this unit. Generally everyone makes mistake and learn from them. Initially I made mistakes and learned from it."

Recommendation

Students benefit from quizzes with two opportunities to submit. Students noted that it assisted learning.

Assessment Title
Written Assessment

Task Description

Aim


The aim of this written assessment is for you to develop a model of care to enhance the cognitive and sensory abilities of older people and to justify this model of care.


Instructions


For this assessment, you are required to construct a model of care relevant to older people with cognitive and sensory challenges. You will need to explain your model and justify its use with older people. Ideas for your model will come from your study of existing models, exploring the literature, and carefully analysing your target group.


Please follow the steps below to complete your assessment task:


Step 1. Identify and describe the group of older people that your developed model will be applied to. You may use one of the following or develop your own:


o Older people who have been diagnosed with early-stage Parkinson’s disease and live independently with community support for shopping and cleaning

o Older people with Lewy Body dementia who live alone and have periods of depression

o Older people diagnosed with dementia at various stages who live in a Residential Aged Care Facility


Step 2. Develop an appropriate and relevant model of care by investigating existing models and the scholarly literature.


Step 3. Provide a detailed explanation of how your model relates to your target group to justify its development and application. You can use conceptual models, mind maps, tables, and figures to help explain your model.


Step 4. Substantiate your explanation and justify your model of care using scholarly literature including the adaptation of existing models.

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.
