Postgraduate Coursework students will receive a University Funded Quota of 500Mb.

This course will comprise 12 weekly (2 hourly) sessions, within which students will learn theoretical knowledge related to and practical skills in the use of IPT. This course will utilise didactic learning (via a PowerPoint presentation), small-group and large-group discussion, questions and answers components, and role playing of new skills.

This background and skills-based learning will be supported and reinforced by the later sessions of this course, which will be used to reinforce skills through discussion and practice of IPT treatment using role playing of real-life (de identified) cases provided by both the lecturers and students.

Participation (10%): will be assessed by each student’s contribution to the group during each session.
Essay (50%): will comprise a 3000 word essay exploring the application of IPT to a different mental health issue or population group, including the research base, strengths and limitations of this approach in this field. It will be due Friday 5th August.

Reflective writing exercise or case write-up (40%): students will choose whether they wish to write either a reflection on their own reactions to the IPT workshop and concepts of IPT, or a case study reflecting on their own experience of using IPT with a client (as a student counsellor on placement). Both options will be 2500 words in total. It will be due Friday 14th November.

Submission of Assignments
Assignments should be submitted through the “Assignments” section of MyUni. Instructions on how to submit an assignment in this way can be found at: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/myuni/tutorials/
Assignments must be submitted by 11.59 pm on the day that they are due. (note that MyUni will accept your assignment after this time but it will be marked Late.
Feedback on assignments will be provided to students within 4 weeks of completion of the task so that students can take advantage of this feedback.

Extension of Time for Assessment Items
Up to one week
It is expected that all assessments will be submitted by the specified time on the specified due date.
However, students may apply for an extension of time to submit an assessment, if they are experiencing difficulty. Applications for extension must be made to the Course Coordinator and copied into the Program Administrator jacqui.howard@adelaide.edu.au, in writing (e.g. email) prior to the due date lodgement of the assignment. Anticipate that it may take a few days to receive a reply. The grounds for granting an extension include health problems, compassionate reasons and other extenuating circumstances. Extensions will usually only be granted for a maximum of one week, but can be longer at the discretion of the Chairperson of the Academic Progress Committee if substantiated with evidence such as a medical certificate. Only original documents or certified copies of originals will be accepted.
You will be notified by email to your University of Adelaide student email account of the outcome of your application. If your extension is granted then it is your responsibility to keep in contact with the course coordinator and to hand in the assessment with a copy of the email (or other document) approving the extension. Failure to submit an assessment item on time without an approved extension will incur a penalty as detailed under ‘Late Submission of Work’.

Longer than one week
If you require an extension for longer than one week, please contact the Course Co-ordinator to discuss your request. Please submit any applications to the Course Coordinator copied into the Program Administrator jacqui.howard@adelaide.edu.au. If you require an extension for longer than a week due to illness, a medical certificate will be required.
Failure to submit an assessment item on time without an approved extension will incur a penalty as detailed under ‘Late Submission of Work’.

Late Submission of Work
All assignments should be submitted by 11.59pm on the due date.
Late submission without an approved extension will be penalised at the rate of 10% of available marks for each day after the due date. Work submitted more than ten days after the due date may be returned unmarked. This action will be taken to prevent students who do get their work in on time being disadvantaged.

Word Limit
You are advised to comply with word limits. You are, of course, not expected to achieve exactly the required length and a 10% leeway on either side is acceptable. However, a penalty of 5% of available marks will apply for word limit in excess of the 10% leeway.

Presentation
It is essential that you reference all written work accurately and consistently. We ask that use the American Psychological Society Referencing Format (APA 6) and information regarding this system can be found at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ .

A Guide to APA 6th Edition, developed by Monash University will also be provided in MyUni.

EndNote bibliographic software is a very useful tool for managing your references and it is provided free of charge through the university. Information about EndNote can be found at:
http://www.adelaide.edu.au/library/guide/gen/bibsoft/

Be aware that marks will be deducted for incorrect referencing in all assignments.

Requesting a Re-Mark
Any student who, after discussion of the result with the lecturer in charge, is still dissatisfied with the final grade awarded for a course, or with the mark awarded for a particular piece of assessment work, and who has specific grounds for objecting to the grade/mark, may lodge a written request for a review of the result or an independent second assessment with the Head of Discipline within 10 University business days from the date of notification of the result. Such a written request must contain details of the grounds on which the objection is based.

Requests must include a summary of the reasons the student believes his or her assessment work deserves a higher mark. These reasons must be directly related to the academic quality of the work. Re-marks, for example, will not be granted where the grounds are that the student has paid tuition fees or incurred liability under HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP, or needs one or two additional marks to get a higher overall grade for the course. The Head of Discipline may seek the advice of the Academic Progress Committee, and will make a determination on review or second assessment and inform the student of his or her decision in writing.

The mark awarded to a piece of work following review or second assessment as provided for in this policy or as a consequence of appeal to the Student Appeals Committee will usually stand as the final mark for the work, regardless of whether this mark is higher or lower than the mark originally awarded.
