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
Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome Examination Summative 20% 2,3,4,5 Continuous Assessment Summative and formative 80% 1,2,3,4,5 Assessment Detail
Examination
Examination(s) covering entire course content will be held. Some courses may comprise of practical, oral and written examinations and the results will be calculated as a weighted average. Feedback will be provided to each student upon request.
Continuous Assessment
Continuous assessment tasks will occur frequently throughout scheduled course time and will not require additional preparation time beyond normal expectations. Assessment tasks may include, group tasks, simulated patient assessment, oral presentations, in class quizzes, online tests, short reflective pieces of writing, e-portfolios or short answer questions. Feedback to students will be provided by academic staff and tutors regularly throughout the semester and following completion of the assessment task(s).Submission
Assessments are submitted via MyUni by the assignment deadline. All assessment submissions must be submitted by the due date to avoid late penalties. Assessment tasks received after the deadline (where no extension has been granted) will be penalised as follows:
5% of total available points will be penalised per day (24-hour period), and an automatic zero mark will be applied after 7 days. For example, if an assessment is submitted 3 days late, 15 points will be deducted from the grade. For assessment graded at 50%, this would end up as 35%.
Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

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.
