Overview
Health in All Policies (HiAP) is a public health movement and policy approach that contributes to the improvement of population health, equity, wellness and improved policy outcomes across participating sectors. This unit outlines how and why HiAP was established and what benefits it has had on promoting health across populations. Factors that influence the implementation of HiAP are examined, including Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Health Lens Assessment (HLA). This unit will allow you to bring together assessment, research and evaluation skills learned throughout your course in order to consider where and how health fits in the policy cycle.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE, Student Feedback
Students appreciated the time and effort the Unit Coordinator put in to the responses on the Discussion Board. They noted that insight from real work experience was always valuable for their learning.
Continue to be responsive on Moodle site discussion board drawing on industry examples.
Feedback from SUTE, Student Feedback
The workbook (assessment 2) and the report (assessment 3) are due at close times. The workbook is aligned with each week's discussion board topics, however students would appreciate spreading out due dates.
Change an earlier quiz to be like a workbook assessment so that students get feedback on the standard expected in the final workbook before census date. Reiterate to students that they will need to work on their workbooks each week. Redesign the workbook assessment so that it can be submitted in two parts (mid-term and end of term). Consider using a Moodle Book or on-line workbook.
Feedback from Reflection
The quiz questions are superficial and ask questions about particular readings.
Change the first quiz questions to be the submission of a workbook-style activity.
Feedback from Student attendance Reflection
Tutorials (on assessments) are poorly attended despite offering a poll on times
Survey students at the start of term to gauge appropriate times for online tutorials. Schedule after hours 'drop-in' tutorials for students if appropriate.
Feedback from Reflection Student assessments
The report topic (assessment 3) is focused on communicable diseases. Many students chose STIs or HIV/AIDS as their topic, similar to a report required for PBHL12001. While no students self-plagiarised, there is potential that some students may reuse their work from that assessment.
Change requirements for Assessment 3, still be focused on communicable diseases but not STIs or HIV/AIDS. Change the report to an oral presentation to differentiate from other Public Health units.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
