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. 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.

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.

Responses to quiz questions will be marked based on the correctness of responses. All questions will be marked numerically and an overall mark will be awarded for each quiz.

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 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. Description of two (2) drills and/or exercises to improve performance; and a rationale for the suggested drills and/or exercises.
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.

AI statement: The use of generative AI is not allowed for this assessment item. The assessment must be completed individually by each student. 

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 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. Different sessions are available depending on your mode of enrolment (i.e. ROK, MIX, MKY/MKC, CNS), please ensure your complete your class registration via MyCQU. 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 activity (residential school), 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.

As part of this assessment, you must do the following:

1. Review the Laboratory Induction information available on Moodle and complete the online Lab Induction and Health Screening Forms (DUE: Week 4 Friday 29 March 2024 5:00 pm AEST).
2. Attendance and active participation during the residential school
3. Complete the Laboratory Workbook - The Laboratory Workbook contains questions and data tables on each practical activity and should be completed during the on-campus activities (residential school). You must upload your completed Laboratory Workbook to Moodle (DUE: Week 7 Friday 26 April 2024 5:00 pm AEST).

There are four (4) criteria that must be met to pass this assessment item:

1. Lab Induction and Health Screening – You must review the Laboratory Induction information and complete the Lab Induction and Health Screening Forms.
2. Attendance – You must attend the entire on-campus residential school. 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.
3. 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.
4. Completion of the Laboratory Workbook – Teaching staff with knowledge and expertise in the field will review your Laboratory Workbook for completion of all questions. If your Laboratory Workbook is not completed with sufficient detail, it will be returned to you for corrections and you will be given one opportunity to resubmit. Feedback will be provided to assist you with the resubmission.

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.
