There are two (2) online Quizzes for this unit. Quiz 1 will be based on content covered in lectures 2-6 inclusive; Quiz 2 will be based on content covered in lectures 7-11 inclusive. Each Quiz will contain 30 questions and you will be given 40 minutes to complete each Quiz. Upon completion of the 40 minutes, there will be a 2 minute grace period where open attempts can be submitted, but no more questions can be answered.

Quiz 1 will be based on content covered in lectures 2-6; Quiz 2 will be based on content covered in lectures 7-11. Each Quiz will contribute 15% of your overall mark for this unit.

Your portfolio will comprise three (3) individual assessment items related to your placement. Firstly, you will complete a logbook which records the activities observed or undertaken during your placement. A template for the logbook will be available on Moodle. The logbook will be in 2 parts. Part A will log the first 20 hours of your Work Integrated Learning placement. Part B will log the final 20 hours of your Work Integrated Learning placement. Both parts must be signed by your supervisor. Secondly, you will undertake a reflective one-on-one recorded interview where you will reflect on the learnings from your placement by applying critical thinking, communication and problems solving skills. The one-on-one interview will be conducted using ZOOM videoconferencing software. Finally, you will generate an industry report where you benchmark the exercise protocols observed during your placement, against industry best practice. A template for the report will be available on Moodle and the report must be completed using the supplied template. The report must be submitted in MS Word format. Taken together, the items which contribute to the portfolio will improve your understanding of the role of exercise in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health conditions.

The portfolio will contribute 70% of your overall grade for this unit, and comprises three (3) individual assessment items related to your placement.

1. Logbook.

You must complete the template available on Moodle for Part A and Part B of this assessment item. Each logbook must be signed by your placement supervisor on each page, be submitted immediately on completion of the first 20 hours and final 20 hours of your placement, and together must show evidence of completing your 40 hour placement. The logbook will contribute 10% of your overall grade for this unit.

2. Reflective interview.

You will participate in a 1-on-1 reflective interview to identify and explain the learnings from your placement. This interview will be conducted via ZOOM videoconference software, and will be conducted immediately on completion of your placement. The interview will be up to 30 minutes in duration and will be recorded. You will need to carefully reflect on what you have learned with respect to how exercise was used, your contribution to the setting, patients views of exercise, and how you might utilise exercise more effectively in a similar setting. More details, including the marking rubric, will be available on Moodle. This assessment item will contribute 20% of your overall grade for this unit.

3. Industry report.

You will produce an industry report which critically evaluates the way in which exercise was used in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of at least one (1) chronic or complex health condition in the clinical setting in which you undertook your placement. You will describe in detail, the exercise testing and/or exercise prescription protocols used, and compare those with the most recent recommendations, position statements, guidelines or other relevant documents used to implement best practice. You must extend your discussion to include the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of best practice, from the perspectives of the organisation, the clinician, and the patient. Your conclusions must include no less than three (3) recommendations as to how the implementation of best practice could be improved. More details, including a template for preparing the industry report, and the marking rubric, will be available on Moodle. This assessment item will contribute 40% of your overall grade for this unit.

You will undertake a placement in a clinical setting where exercise is used in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health conditions. This placement is a Pass/Fail assessment item and is essential for the completion of assessment tasks which comprise the portfolio. The placement will be largely 'observational'. That is, you will observe how clinicians use exercise protocols in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health conditions You may not be required to develop, prescribe, or implement exercise, however, if the opportunity presents to do this, then you are encouraged to do so, within the scope of practice.

This is a Pass/Fail assessment item. Completion of the 40 hour placement is compulsory, and failure to successfully complete the 40 hour placement will result in a Fail grade for this unit. Observations during the Professional Practice Placement are directly linked to the Portfolio assessment tasks and you will not be able to complete any of the Portfolio assessment tasks without undertaking a Professional Practice Placement .
