The Online Quizzes Assessment comprises of two (2) online quizzes consisting of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, labeling, and matching questions. Each online quiz is to be completed individually. You may use multiple resources to help
answer the questions. It is your responsibility to log on to Moodle and complete each online quiz during the time the quiz is available. Online quizzes should be completed on a computer as some questions do not work well on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In addition, attempting the quiz on a smartphone can result in your session being ended in the event of a phone call or notification. In the absence of an approved extension, no attempts will be permitted after the due date.

NOTE: In the absence of an approved extension there will be no late submissions allowed for any of the online quizzes that make up this assessment item.

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. Each question will be worth 1 mark. 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.

This assessment will be based on a case study relating to a musculoskeletal injury. You will be required to research and describe the pathophysiology of the injury focusing on the biomechanics and potential mechanism(s) of injury. You will also be required to outline three key/priority assessments you would perform from a biomechanical perspective (this may include assessments of asymmetry and abnormal movement patterns as they relate to biomechanics) as well as normative data for the assessments.

• Word Count: Specific word count for each section will be provided within the case study documentation.
• Formatting: Your submission is to be double-spaced, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides, and all pages numbered consecutively. Use subheadings to identify the response for each question of the case study as well as word count. Use 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font, and set the text alignment to justify.
• Referencing: American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition referencing style is to be used throughout the assessment. This include APA formatted in-text citations throughout each response and a full reference list provided at the end of the submission file. All reference sources must be peer-reviewed journal articles (Note: textbooks, blogs, and other online sources are not acceptable sources ).
• Submission: Your Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF (.pdf) file is to be submitted via the Written Assessment submission link on the ESSC12008 Moodle page. Only .doc, .docx, .pdf formats will be accepted. You will not be able to submit other file formats. In addition, files submitted via email (or any other means beyond the Moodle submission link) will not be marked.

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 type of academic misconduct) will be handled in accordance to CQUniversity’s Academic Misconduct Procedures with subsequent penalties applied.

The case study and associated marking rubric will be provided on Moodle.

Total marks for each question will be specified in the case study file available on Moodle along with a detailed marking rubric. Marks will be awarded based on:

• Relevance of content and level of detail in the response
• Use of suitable references to support the response with correct in-text citations (APA style)
• Ability to communicate through use of appropriate terminology and the clarity and conciseness of the response
• Adherence to assessment guidelines
• Adherence to word count
• Spelling and grammar
• Completeness and formatting of reference list (APA style)

This assessment consists of three (3) parts:

Part A (25% of overall grade): DUE WEEK 7 Wednesday (2 Sept. 2020) 5pm AEST
This part of the portfolio will focus on data analysis and the importance of using valid and reliable equipment as well as outcome measures. You will be provided with sample data from various pieces of equipment used in biomechanics. You will then analyse the data and complete a series of questions pertaining to the provided data. In addition, you will create an infographic/poster summarising a journal article that examines the reliability and/or validity of an outcome measure.

Part B (30% of overall grade): DUE WEEK 11 Wednesday (30 Sept. 2020) 5pm AEST
For this part of the portfolio assessment, you will select two (2) journal articles from a list provided on Moodle. For each selected journal article, you will provide a written critique based on a series of questions provided via the Moodle site. To ensure, variation among students there will be a maximum number of students per article. You will need to confirm your article choices via Moodle by Friday of Week 6. If you do not choose your articles by Friday of Week 6, the Unit Coordinator will assign you two (2) articles.

Part C (10% of overall grade): DUE To be determined (based on scheduling of laboratory blocks/residential school)
For this part of the portfolio you will be to demonstrate your competency in using equipment to collect biomechanics-related data. During the on-campus laboratory block sessions/residential schools you will be assessed on your ability to complete participant set-up and instructions and collect data using various pieces of equipment commonly used in biomechanics. Online resources will be provided prior to the on-campus activities such that you become familiar with the equipment. During the on-campus sessions you will be given time to practice using the equipment with the later portion of the on-campus sessions dedicated to assessing competencies.

Guidelines/instructions and marking rubrics will be provided via Moodle.

Each portion of the portfolio will be judged on the criteria specified below.

Part A (25% of overall grade):

• Data Analysis (15% of the overall grade) - Marks will be awarded based on correctness of analysis methods and responses to set questions
• Infographic (10% of the overall grade) - Marks will be awarded based on: summary of selected journal article; design of infographic; spelling and grammar; and appropriate graphics credits and APA referencing of journal article.

Part B (30% of the overall grade):

Each critique will be worth 15% of the overall grade. Total marks for each question will be specified in the written critique question file available on Moodle. Marks will be awarded based on: relevance of content and level of detail in the response; adherence to word count; spelling and grammar; and use of APA referencing style.

Part C (10% of overall grade):
You will be assessed on your ability to: correctly setup of equipment and participant; provide participant with instructions; and collect data.

This assessment involves completion of compulsory laboratory activities of this unit. You are required to attend the on-campus laboratory sessions and demonstrate competency with regards to participant set-up and instructions and data collection using various pieces of equipment commonly used in biomechanics.

To complete this assessment item you must:
1. Sign the attendance sheet. Please note there may be multiple attendance sheets to sign throughout the activity sessions.
2. Demonstrate competency in collecting biomechanics related data through use of various pieces of equipment by achieving a mark of at least 50% on the competency assessment (Part C of Portfolio assessment).

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the compulsory On-campus Activity (i.e. Residential School/Laboratory Block sessions) will take place at a date to be advised.

If you cannot attend the compulsory sessions as scheduled, 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, which is relevant in cases where a student cannot attend a required practical session/residential school within a unit. If a student does not attend a compulsory sessions, and provides a valid reason, with supporting documentation (as per the assessment policy), 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 and the student.

Attendance and equipment competency must be demonstrated throughout the laboratory block sessions/residential schools.
