Please be advised the 40-hour work placement attached to this unit (ESSC13005 Advanced Clinical Exercise Science) will not occur in Term 2, 2020 due to government COVID-19 travel and social isolation restrictions at the time of preparing this Unit Profile. Students will still be able to achieve all unit learning outcomes. The removal of work placement will not impact accreditation. Adjustments to the Work Placement Portfolio assessment item are described in the ‘Term Specific Information’ section of the Unit Profile.

The Portfolio will contribute 70% of your overall grade for this unit, and comprises two (2) individual assessment items related to your Professional Practice Placement.

You will present a case example of how exercise has been used for a particular client/patient observed during your placement. For privacy and confidentiality reasons it is essential that no identifying details are provided when describing the client/participant demographics. More details on how to ensure there is no breach of confidentiality will be given on Moodle. The case study will focus on the way that exercise has been used in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health condition(s), and be delivered as an oral presentation supported by PowerPoint slides or similar presentation software. You will present the case study during designated presentation sessions scheduled during Week 10 of Term 2, 2019 (Sept 23 - Sept 27, 2019). Case studies must be presented ‘live’ using ZOOM video conference software and cannot be prerecorded. The case study presentation will be marked against the criteria described in the Assessment Criteria section below.

More details, including the marking rubric, will be available on Moodle. This assessment item will be marked out of 50 marks and contribute 25% of your overall grade for this unit.

There is no submission required for the online case study presentation as each scheduled presentation session will be recorded. Each allocated session can accommodate up to 12 presentations, and each case study presentation will be no more than ten (10) minutes in duration, with up to five (5) minutes for questions at the end of the presentation. Questions will come from the unit coordinator; however, time permitting, questions may be invited from other students who are attending the same session. You are required to attend the case study session for the full duration (approximately three (3) hours), and not just for your own presentation.You are only required to attend the case study session in which you are scheduled to present, but you may attend other sessions if you choose.

Due date: A 'Choice' option will be available on Moodle where you can select your presentation time. These will be available on a 'first in first served' basis and no additional times will be made available unless an approved extension is granted. All case study presentations must be completed by Week 10 Friday (27 September 2019) 4:00 pm AEST. 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).

Please be advised the 40-hour work placement attached to this unit (ESSC13005 Advanced Clinical Exercise Science) will not occur in Term 2, 2020 due to government COVID-19 travel and social isolation restrictions at the time of preparing this Unit Profile. Students will still be able to achieve all unit learning outcomes. The removal of work placement will not impact accreditation. Adjustments to the Work Placement Portfolio assessment item are described in the ‘Term Specific Information’ section of the Unit Profile.

In this assessment task you will undertake a 40 hour work placement in a clinical setting where exercise is used in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health conditions. This work placement is a Pass/Fail assessment task. Undertaking the work placement is essential for the completion of assessment tasks which comprise the Portfolio. The work placement is observational. That is, you will observe how clinicians use exercise protocols in the assessment, treatment, or prevention of chronic or complex health conditions.

Evidence of having undertaken the Professional Practice Placement will be documented using two (2) separate Logbooks. You must complete the templates available on Moodle for Logbook 1 which documents the first 20 hours of your Professional Practice Placement, and for Logbook 2 which documents the second 20 hours of your Professional Practice Placement. Each Logbook must be signed by your placement supervisor on each page. Together, Logbook 1 and Logbook 2 must show evidence of completing your 40 hour Professional Practice Placement. An example of the level of detail required for the Logbooks is available on Moodle. Logbooks that do not contain sufficient detail, or are not signed by placement supervisor will be returned for corrections and you will not be able to pass this assessment item, or this unit, unless the Logbooks are completed according to these instructions.

Due date: Logbook 1 is due immediately on completion of the first 20 hours of Professional Practice Placement. Logbook 2 is due immediately on completion of the final 20 hours of Professional Practice Placement. Irrespective of when you commence your work placement, both Logbooks must be submitted by Review Week Monday (14 October 2019) at 8:00 am AEST. In the absence of an approved extension, any submissions received after the due date will not be graded and you will not be able to pass this unit.

Return date: Feedback for each Logbook will be returned within seven (7) days of submission.

The Logbooks will provide evidence of completion of the 40 hour work placement. Logbooks must contain a level of detail consistent with the following:

• The date and duration of the observations
• A description of the observations and activity including any tests, assessment, or exercise programs performed along with the relevant outcomes.

An example of the level of detail required for the Logbooks is available on Moodle. Logbooks that do not contain sufficient detail, or are not signed by the placement supervisor will be returned for corrections and you will not be able to pass this assessment item, or this unit, unless the Logbooks are completed according to these instructions.
