Learning & Teaching Modes
In this course, lectures and workshops focus in detail on the Model of Human Occupation and concepts of volition, habituation, performance capacity and environmental factors. Students are introduced to a range of MOHO assessments and have opportunities during workshops to practice them. The MOHO content is further enhanced through Scenario-based-learning tutorials that aid students to explore the theoretical foundations of occupational therapy and the relationship between occupation, health and wellbeing.Workload

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Detailed information, including due dates, can be found in the MyUni wesbite for this course.Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome Examination Summative 40% 1, 2, 3, 4 Assignment Summative 20% 2, 4 Continuous Assessment Formative & Summative 40% 1, 2, 3, 4 Assessment Detail
Written Examination (40%):
Students will complete a 2-hour written exam, during the University examination period, in which they will be required to complete questions in varying formats on all MOHO concepts covered across the semester.
Assignment (20%): MOHO Assessment and Report
Students will work in pairs and video themselves conducting an assessment from the Model of Human Occupation. Each student submits a video, along with an individual report summarising the assessment and clinical reasoning during the assessment, linking occupation, health and well-being.
Continuous Assessment (40%): Scenario Based Learning Assessment
For every scenario, students are required to develop and complete a scenario-based task. Tutors will provide formative feedback to the class on the content and quality of learning issues for each scenario during tutorials. After completing all scenario-based tasks, students will write an essay on the effectiveness of their communication, the suitability of different learning formats, and how well they achieved their goals.Submission

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
