The Online Quizzes assessment comprises of two (2) online quizzes. Each online quiz is to be completed on your own using resources to help answer the questions. Some questions will require calculations. As such, please have a calculator and your ESSC12004 Formula Sheet accessible when completing the quiz.

Online quizzes should be completed on a computer as some question styles do not work or display well on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In addition, attempting the quiz on a smartphone can result in your session being interrupted in the event of a phone call or notification.

NOTE: In the absence of an approved extension, no late submissions will be allowed for any online quizzes.

Quiz 1 (10% of final grade)
Quiz 1 will assess content related to lectures, online learning activities, and compulsory readings/videos from Weeks 1 – 3 (inclusive). Quiz 1 will consist of 20 multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, labelling, and matching style questions. You will have 45 minutes to complete this quiz.

You can only attempt Quiz 1 once and it must be completed in a single session. You cannot save your answers and return to this quiz at a later time.

The quiz will be available during the following times, please ensure you complete the quiz prior to the Close Date. It is your responsibility to log on to Moodle and complete each online quiz during the time the quiz is available.

Responses to quiz questions will be marked as correct or incorrect by the Moodle Online Quiz System and tabulated to give your mark for each quiz. For questions with text-based responses (e.g. fill-in-the-blank) you should take care with spelling (Australian English) and grammar, as answers are spelling and grammar sensitive. For calculation-based question, provide numeric responses with two decimal places.

For this assessment, you will act as a biomechanist to complete a movement analysis of one (1) of the activities listed on the ESSC12004 Moodle site. Time will be provided during the laboratory sessions and residential school to record the videos required to complete the analysis. In addition, time will be provided to commence analysing the videos; however, you may need additional time outside of the scheduled laboratory times to complete your analysis.

Once you have completed your analysis, it is to be summarised in an audio-visual presentation that is 10-12 minutes in length. Presentations recordings outside of this duration will be awarded marks as per the marking rubric. Any information presented beyond 14 minutes will not be marked. Your audio-visual presentation should be prepared using PowerPoint (or similar software) and is to include:

1. A brief introduction of the activity.
2. The identification of at least six (6) observable critical features and a rationale for their selection (based on biomechanical principles).
3. A summary of your movement analysis, which evaluates the client’s performance in relation to the identified critical features and includes annotated images or video showing measurement of the critical features.
4. Details of an intervention to improve your client’s performance. Your intervention should include feedback for the client including method of delivering feedback; at least two (2) drills and/or exercises to improve performance; and a rationale for the suggested intervention.
5. A minimum of five (5) relevant references that are used throughout the presentation. References are to be peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks, or coaching manuals.
   

Your presentation is to be video recorded and uploaded to Moodle as a video file (.mp4, .avi, .mov, or .wmv). The recommended software for recording your presentation video is Zoom; however, you can use other video recording software to record the presentation. Information on using Zoom to record a presentation will be provided on Moodle. The Unit Coordinator must receive acceptable files that are viewable/readable. If an unacceptable/corrupt file is submitted, your assessment will be considered late until an acceptable file is submitted and penalties will be incurred in line with CQUniversity's Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

Please be advised the assessment submission will be checked for plagiarism (and other types of academic misconduct). You are advised to familiarise yourself with CQUniversity’s Academic Misconduct Procedures. Any assessments suspected of plagiarism (or other types of academic misconduct) will be dealt with in accordance to CQUniversity’s Academic Misconduct Procedures with subsequent penalties applied.

Additional resources related to movement analyses will be provided on Moodle.

Presentations will be marked on the following criteria:

• Identification of the overall performance objective and description of the activity
• Identification of six (6) critical features and the biomechanical rationale for the selection of these features
• Appropriate use of video analysis software to identify and measure the six (6) critical features
• Summary of the client’s performance based on the six (6) critical features
• Summary of the intervention specific to the type of feedback and method of delivery
• Summary of the intervention specific to the two (2) drills/exercises with justification for drill/exercise selection
• Appropriate use of referencing throughout the presentation
• Presentation skills (including quality of slide design; use of cues to initiate speech during the presentation; use of voice/eye contact/body language; adherence to time limit; professionalism; presentation structure)

The marking rubric will be available on Moodle.

This assessment item is linked to your attendance and participation in the compulsory on-campus activities and completion of the Laboratory Workbook. As such, you are required to attend one (1) of the timetabled on-campus residential school/laboratory block sessions. Different sessions are available depending on your mode of enrolment (i.e. ROK, MIX, MKY, CNS) and you must attend the session based on your enrolment (unless arrangements have been made with the Unit Coordinator). Further details regarding these sessions can be found in the Term Specific Information section of this Unit Profile, on the ESSC12004 Moodle site, and via the CQUniversity Handbook.

During the on-campus residential school/laboratory block sessions, you will undertake a series of practical activities that will develop your hands-on skills related to collecting and interpreting biomechanics data. A Laboratory Manual and Workbook will be provided via the ESSC12004 Moodle site prior to the on-campus sessions. The Laboratory Workbook contains questions and data tables pertaining to each practical activity and must be completed during the on-campus sessions.

There are three (3) criteria that must be met to pass this assessment item:

1. Attendance – You must attend the entire on-campus residential school/laboratory block session. Attendance will be monitored through signing laboratory attendance sheets which will be facilitated by the teaching staff. Please note, there may be multiple attendance sheets to sign.
2. Active Participation – Teaching staff instructing each session will monitor your participation during each practical task and ensure you meet the criteria in the Laboratory Participation Checklist. To meet the criteria for ‘active participation’ you must complete each item in the Laboratory Participation Checklist. A copy of the Laboratory Participation Checklist will be included in the Laboratory Workbook which will be made available on the ESSC12004 Moodle site.
3. Completion of the Laboratory Workbook – Teaching staff with knowledge and expertise in the field will review your Laboratory Workbook for completion. Please note, this must be complete by the end of the residential school/laboratory block session that you attend.

Please note:

• If you miss a session without an approved reason, it will result in a 'Fail' on this assessment item.
• If you are unable to attend one of the on-campus laboratory activities, and provide a valid reason with supporting documentation, then an attempt to make alternate arrangements will be made in consultation with the Deputy Dean Learning and Teaching or equivalent manager. The CQUniversity Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework) outlines acceptable reasons for adjustments to assessment.
