1. There will be three separate online quizzes to assess your knowledge of the unit material.
2. Each quiz will have 15 questions.
3. You will be allowed three attempts at each quiz. It is not compulsory to attempt each quiz three times. The highest grade you achieve will serve as your final score for that quiz.
4. Your score from each quiz will contribute 6.66%% to your final grade (3 quizzes x 6.66% = 20%).
5. There is a minimum requirement in the assessment task: 50%.
6. In the absence of an approved extension, there will be no opportunity to complete the task after the assigned date.
7. Dates that each quiz open and close are outlined below. These assessment tasks must be completed on or before the due dates listed.

You will find more details of the Progress Quizzes on the unit Moodle site.

Questions will be automatically marked correct or incorrect. The maximum score (45) that can be accumulated from the three Progress Quizzes equals 20% of the total unit marks.

Rationale

In the clinical context, health professionals are expected to have in-depth knowledge and understanding of pathophysiology processes and their interrelationship. Population demographics demonstrate increased ageing and concomitant complex morbidities in healthcare. Students must be able to respond accurately to the clinical questions posed in the workplace. This assessment requires you to construct links between pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment which reflect the level of understanding you will be required to articulate clinically.

All health professionals have a significant clinical role in disease awareness. You must be able to give qualified evidence based advice, within your scope of practice, which serves to educate the patient and close gaps in health care. With your permission, the best pamphlets and concept maps will be circulated for distribution to clinical sites for continuing professional development of staff and clinical use with patients as appropriate.

In the clinical workplace, you will be assessed regularly by your peers throughout your working life - by clinical supervisors, journal paper reviewers, conference assessors who award prizes for papers and posters, conference presentations/posters. It will be your primary source of professional feedback. The marking system in this unit seeks to commence this process. Your assessment will be marked by your peers and you will assess the work of your peers. It is important to be constructive in your marking and feedback. The aim is to enable your peers to develop their knowledge and skills with your guidance.

Task

You must choose two clinical models on the unit Moodle site: one under Clinical Model Selection for Concept Map, and one under Clinical Model Selection for Disease Awareness Pamphlet. They must be different and from different weekly topics. Your selection is final, you will not be able to change it. The available clinical models are from your textbook and differ in level of difficulty, hence, will have different weights in the marking rubric. First come has first choice. If you do not select the two clinical models by the due date, your unit coordinator will allocate you two clinical models.

The assignment has two parts:

Part 1. You must submit online one Concept Map and one Disease Awareness Pamphlet.

Part 2. You must assess online three other Concept Maps and three other Disease Awareness Pamphlets. The assessment is anonymous.

No late submissions will be permitted. If you do not complete Part 1 or Part 2 by the due dates, you will receive a mark of zero for that part.

You will find more details of the Clinical Model Assignment on the unit Moodle site.

The Concept Map and Disease Awareness Pamphlet each are 10% of the total unit marks. There is a minimum requirement of 50% for each, the Concept Map and Disease Awareness Pamphlet.

Part 1 mark: Your peers will assess your Concept Map according to accuracy, content, interview, reflection, connection, structure, concept presentation, language, format, overall, similarity and content difficulty and your Disease Awareness Pamphlet according to accuracy, content, interview, reflection, presentation (illustrations, text coherence, pop-out effects), language (spelling, grammar, appropriateness for target audience), format, similarity and content difficulty. The marking rubric is available on the unit Moodle site. The final mark for each submission (the Concept Map and Disease Awareness Pamphlet) is the average of the marks given by your peer reviewers. The maximum mark for each submission is 7% (see table below).

Part 2 mark: You will also receive marks for assessing others' submissions and the quality of your assessment. Moodle will compare your assessment with your peers' assessments of the same clinical model. Based on how close your assessment is to the average assessment score of the same clinical model you will receive a score (Score 1), between zero and one. You will also receive a score for the quality of your assessments (Score 2), between zero and three. The final mark equals Score 1 x Score 2. The maximum mark for the peer assessment is 3% (see table below).

Your lecturer will monitor the peer assessment for quality assurance.
