This assessment task consists of three (3) online quizzes, delivered at various stages throughout the Term. Each quiz is worth 10% of your final grade and each quiz is related to unit content from lectures and course readings. Quiz 1 will cover content from Week 1 - 3 (inclusive), Quiz 2 will cover content from Week 4 - 6 (inclusive), and Quiz 3 will cover content from Week 7 - 10 (inclusive).

To complete each quiz, you must log on to Moodle during the time each quiz is available and access the ESSC11003 Moodle page. An assessment link will be available and you must access the quiz within the times listed below. You only have one (1) attempt at each quiz and the quiz must be completed in a single session (you cannot save your answers and return to the online quiz at another time). The allocated time for each quiz is 30 minutes. You must complete the quiz before the due date and time. In the absence of an approved extension, there will be no late submissions allowed for any of the online quizzes. Online quizzes should be completed on a computer, as attempting the quiz on a smartphone or tablet can result in your session being ended in the event of a phone call or notification. It is recommended that the quiz be accessed and completed using Chrome or Firefox web browsers. 

You will be assessed on your knowledge of key concepts in skill acquisition and movement delivered throughout the term. A selection of 30 randomly-generated questions will be provided in each quiz, with approximately 7-10 questions provided for each weekly topic. Questions will assess knowledge of lecture content and suggested readings. Each question will be worth 1 mark, totalling 30 marks for each quiz and all questions will be in the form of multiple choice or true/false format. 

Attendance at practical laboratory sessions/residential school will involve different learning components, including equipment use, skill demonstration, data acquisition, interpretation of results and theoretical reasoning. The completion of the laboratory workbook is to assess your knowledge and understanding of the basic theories of skill acquisition and movement. The tasks associated with this laboratory workbook include the collection, synthesis and presentation of data from each practical session; justification and explanation of class results/trends compared to individual data; and short answer written responses relating to theoretical and practical content that is delivered throughout the term. 

Guidelines:

• A laboratory workbook template will be provided, and you are required to submit the completed workbook template for assessment. This template will guide your responses and outline the required data obtained from each laboratory session. 
• Allocation of marks will vary for each question, and this will be clearly outlined within the workbook template. 
• Individual and group data must be presented using an appropriate table and/or figure. This will be clearly outlined in the template where required. The unit coordinator will provide assistance via Moodle for the development and inclusion of Tables and Figures for the laboratory workbook.
• Keep formatting consistent (Arial Font, Size 11, single spaced). Only fill in the marked sections for each response. Text outside of these sections will not be marked.
• Laboratory workbook MUST be completed using a word processor (i.e. Microsoft Word). Hand written submissions will not be marked. Figures must be developed using graphical software (i.e. Microsoft Excel), hand developed figures (such as those developed in Paint or similar software) and photos will not be marked. 
• You must reference appropriately using APA format where necessary throughout the workbook. A list of references must be included at the end of the workbook. 
• Save workbook in Word (.doc or .docx) format

Grades for this assessment will be based on data input and presentation from laboratory sessions, as well as written responses based on unit content. For example, the workbook has questions pertaining to the following areas:

• Classification of motor skills
• Decision making components of skill
• Feedback and knowledge of results
• Motor skill performance and sensory input
• Fitt's law
• Proprioception
• Instruction and observational learning
• Practice conditions

Answers and written responses should be correctly referenced where appropriate, and a reference list should be included at the end of the workbook. Specific marks will be allocated for each question. Refer to the workbook for specific allocation for each question.

In the absence of an approved extension, any submissions received after the due date will incur penalties in accordance with CQUniversity Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework). 

It is compulsory to attend, and actively participate in all laboratory sessions (on-campus students) or the residential school (mixed-mode students) in this unit. Laboratory sessions will be held during specified weeks across term for on-campus students and during a 2-day residential school for mixed-mode students.

Attendance at all laboratory sessions (on-campus students), or the residential school (mixed-mode students), with sufficient participation will result in a passing grade for this assessment. Failure to attend and adequately participate may result in a fail grade for this assessment item, and being unable to pass this unit. Attendance at each practical laboratory session and residential school will be facilitated by staff members managing the sessions and you will be required to sign an attendance form for each activity. Failure to sign this form will result in an "absent" being recorded. 

If you miss a practical session, there will NOT be an opportunity to simply ‘catch up’ at any time. The Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework) outlines acceptable reasons for adjusting assessment (Section 5.16 – 5.19). This section of the policy is relevant in cases where you fail to attend a required practical session/residential school within this unit. If you do not attend a practical session/residential school session, and provide a valid reason, with supporting documentation (see Section 5.26 – 5.29), then an attempt to make alternate arrangements will be made (for example a ‘catch up’ session at a suitable time or an alternative assessment/task) in consultation with the Unit Coordinator.
