Overview
This unit is designed to introduce you to the innovative and contemporary Recovery approach to mental health care. The lived experience perspective brings a different viewpoint to the classroom and creates a dynamic, ‘real world’ learning environment. You will develop a comprehensive knowledge of the factors that promote Recovery within diverse populations, the importance of Recovery within mental health settings, the significance of collaborative relationships with consumers, families and other supports and the important leadership role of consumers in developing the Recovery approach. You will identify the skills required by nurses working within a Recovery system of care.

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 Moodle
Assessment 1 was returned very late leaving little time to take feedback on board for next assessment.
Due to an error in the grading of assessment one, the assessment was late in being returned to students. This mistake in the rubric was corrected during the term, and adjustments were made to future rubrics. This should not be an issue in future.
Feedback from Moodle
Relaxed atmosphere for such a challenging subject. assignments were very relevant to course.
Provide an open, collaborative learning space that encourages discussion and provides emotional support.
Feedback from Moodle
Outlining assessment tasks. For the reflection assessment, it is incredibly difficult to understand what we are supposed to do and what is expected of us.
Review the assessment tasks for this Unit. Clearer instructions and wording to be used in future. Consider the use of different types of assessment tasks.
Feedback from Moodle
The unit coordinator and lecturers were extremely instrumental with this unit. They were helpful and involved and having them teach this unit was a blessing.
Promote an open dialogue between teaching staff, Unit Coordinators, and students that demonstrates respect acknowledges students and makes them feel supported.

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.
