Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Apply advanced knowledge of disorders across the range of speech pathology practice, integrating intervention plans with a client-centred, evidence-based, and interprofessional approach to service delivery (CBOS 1 – 2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 4.5)
- Identify, analyse, and describe signs of complex and low incidence disorders across the range of speech pathology practice, and their implications for communication, health, and social participation. (CBOS 1 - 3)
- Interpret and apply relevant legislation, workplace policies, and professional standards to reasoning about dilemmas in clinical services. (CBOS 4.5, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, 6.1, 7.2, 7.4)

General Assessment Information
Word limits
Assessment submissions with excessive word counts will receive a penalty commensurate with the amount the submission has exceeded the word limit stated in the assessment description. Excessive word counts will result in the following penalties:
- From 11 to 20% over the word limit = reduction by one grading band.
- More than 20% over the word limit = reduction by at least two grading bands, with further penalties applied at the discretion of the unit convenor.
For example: Word limit = 2000 words; Submission word count = 2240, i.e., 12% over the limit, and therefore a penalty is applied as follows:
- Initial grade = D
- Penalty = reduction of one grading band
- Final grade = C
Penalty for late submission
Late submission of assessments will result in the following penalties:
- 1 day late = reduction by no more than one grading band, at the discretion of the unit convenor
- 2 days late = reduction by no more than two grading bands, at the discretion of the unit convenor
- 3 or more days late = reduction by at least two grading bands, with further reductions at the discretion of the unit convenor
For example: A submission is two days late, and therefore a penalty is applied as follows:
- Initial grade = HD
- Maximum penalty = reduction of two grading bands
- Final grade = C
