There will be 2 online quizzes which will be held in weeks 3 and 7. Once available, quizzes are open for 32 hours (i.e. open at 10am on Tuesday and close Wednesday at 6pm AEST). The content of these quizzes will be related to information on patient referrals including but not limited to laboratory data and clinical history, sonographer worksheet documentation, and sonographic descriptions. All questions will be in a multiple-choice question format. The first quiz will relate to content from weeks 1 – 3, and the second quiz from content in weeks 4 – 7.

This is an open book test, so you have the opportunity to consult your notes, lecture slides, textbooks, and the unit Moodle page.

You are allowed one attempt at each quiz so please ensure you are prepared beforehand. Once the quiz has commenced, approximately 1 minute per question will be given – for example, a 20-question quiz would be given a time limit of 20 minutes to complete. Quiz dates are available on the unit Moodle page.

Multiple choice answers will be marked as correct or incorrect by the Moodle system. The purpose of these quizzes is to assist you to evaluate where your learning is at and to identify specific areas you may need to improve upon.

These assessment tasks must be completed on or before the due dates. No late submissions are permitted after the test has closed, so please ensure adequate time for completion, with additional time for computer mishaps. If you have computer / test access difficulties, you need to contact TaSAC as soon as possible for assistance, and the unit coordinator (after you've contacted TaSAC) if you cannot complete the test in the allocated time before the end of the test (Wednesday 6pm AEST).

The purpose of this in-class test is to assess your critical thinking, memory recall, and accuracy in reporting ultrasound findings. To do this, you will evaluate clinical case studies, images, videos, and clinical presentation information. Questions will be in the format of short answer, long answer, multiple choice questions (MCQs), and completing sonographer worksheets. Questions, images, and videos will include both normal and pathological cases of areas covered from weeks 1 to 10 inclusive.

The in-class test will be held on your campus at the date and time listed below, with the computer lab to be confirmed. The length of the test will be 3 hours, and will include an online and written component so please bring your own pens and pencils. Paper will be provided.

You will be assessed on your ability to evaluate clinical information including sonographic images and videos, clinical presentation information, and ultrasound findings. You will also be assessed on your ability to correctly complete sonographer worksheets, and knowledge on when and how to extend an ultrasound examination.

Required answers may include completing sonographer worksheets, explaining what has been demonstrated in the images or videos using appropriate sonographic terminology, and including anatomical features, a provisional diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and where else you may need to extend the examination. Answers may also include working backward to provide possible clinical presentations of patients with those specific images or videos.

This assessment is to be undertaken as an individual. Colluding with other students on non-group work tasks is considered academic misconduct, and will be reported to the Deputy Dean of Learning and Teaching (HMAS).

In this end of term test, you will be demonstrating your critical thinking skills to answer the questions. This may include using information from clinical and ultrasound presentations to arrive at diagnoses, using a diagnosis and working backwards to name the expected sonographic presentation, other combinations of clinical presentation, sonographic presentation, and diagnoses, and extending the ultrasound examination if appropriate. To do this, you will evaluate clinical case studies, images, and clinical presentation information. Questions will be in the format of short answer, medium length answer, and multiple choice questions (MCQs). Questions and images will include both normal and pathological cases of areas covered throughout the whole unit.

The online test will be available at the date and time listed below. The length of the test will be 2 hours so please ensure you start within 30 minutes of the opening time to allow adequate time to complete the test. At 2:30pm AEST / 12:30pm AWST, all attempts will be automatically submitted.
