An online test will be conducted to assess your understanding of the unit content. This test must be accessed through the assessment tab on Moodle and will comprise 10 questions which will require written answers. The test will be open for 1.5 hours (allowing 9 minutes per question) with only one attempt being allowed. Once started the test cannot be paused, stopped, re-started or re-taken. Questions will be drawn from a pool of questions to allow tests to be different for each student. Image viewing questions may be included and you are required to be familiar with normal and pathological sonographic imaging of the areas discussed in this unit. The test will be open from the Monday of week 12 (28th May) at 9 am (AEST) and will close on Monday 4th June at 12:00 pm (AEST). You will need to allocate a 90 minute period throughout the time the test is open in order to complete the test. Please note: You MUST start the test before 10:30 am (AEST) on Monday the 4th June as the test will automatically close at 12:00 pm (AEST) Monday the 4th June.

On-line test responses will be assessed on the basis of; 

1/ Is your answer correct?

2/ Is your answer sufficiently detailed to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts and terminology explored throughout the unit?

An educational e-poster that clearly presents the use of ultrasound to examine a specific musculoskeletal (MSK) structure or area is to be developed. The presentation must be limited to eight (8) slides with the title and reference slides being in addition to this. An abstract is required to accompany the e-poster, but not be included within the poster.

The e-poster should be written at a level suitable for presentation at a conference. You must state which conference you would intend it to be presented to (nominate your intended audience). The first slide should be the title slide which should contain the title of the presentation, your name and qualifications. Each content slide should have clear headings and be presented in a logical, clear and visually appealing fashion. The area outlined in the poster should be clinically relevant to the practice of musculoskeletal sonography. The anatomy, sonographic appearance of normal and abnormal structures, and a discussion of why the examination may be undertaken along with the pathology that may be encountered in the region should be discussed. You are required to have researched, analysed, critically reflected on and synthesized current (less than 10 yrs post publication) medical literature from peer reviewed sources. A high level of communication skills needs to be utilized to convey a clear message with all anatomical drawings being of high quality and well labelled. Please note all slides are required to be in 'landscape' format.

Your e-poster will be assessed on: Academic writing - The e-poster should contain organized, logical and coherent content with a clear and concise message. It should be proof read and edited ensuring accurate spelling, grammar and appropriate vocabulary for the target audience. Content of e-Poster - the purpose of the paper should be clear and relevant to the field of musculoskeletal sonography. The anatomy, sonographic appearance and pathophysiology of a particular structure or tissue should be presented with diagrams and images used to support the discussion. Evidence based content must be used. Suitability for presentation - The e-Poster should be suitable for presentation at the chosen conference and the subject matter relevant to the selected audience. Referencing - In-text references and the reference list must be all accurate, complete and in the correct APA or Vancouver style with high quality and appropriate sources utilized. The marking rubric to be used for this assessment is available on Moodle. You need to obtain a minimum of 50% in the e-poster to pass the unit.
