All final grades in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are determined by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Assessment Committee, and are approved by the Faculty Board. They are not the sole responsibility of the Unit Convenor. Students will be awarded an Assessment Grade plus a Standardised Numerical Grade (SNG). The SNG is not necessarily a summation of the individual assessment components. The final grade and SNG that are awarded reflect the corresponding grade descriptor in Schedule 1 of the Assessment Policy.

Unit Organisation

This is a 10 credit point unit. For 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19 in Session 1, students in both the third year and second year of the Doctor of Physiotherapy will be undertaking this unit. Each cohort will have a different study pattern due to the nature of the other units being taken at the same time. Please see detailed information regarding the organisation of this unit for your specific cohort on the iLearn site for this unit that is specific to your intake.

Assumed knowledge

This unit builds on your previous learning within the Doctor of Physiotherapy. 

Teaching and Learning Strategy

The unit is delivered entirely online, using a blended approach of both synchronous (live) workshops, tutorials and mentor sessions, and asynchronous learning activities, such as pre-recorded lectures, discussion forums and other multimedia activities. Further information and details, including a timetable of synchronous activities, is available on iLearn. 

Attendance & participation

In the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences professionalism is a key capability embedded in all our programs. As part of developing professionalism, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences students are expected to attend all live, interactive sessions including tutorials, workshops and mentor sessions. Specifically, not all content will be recorded for this unit, due to the interactive nature of the activities and personal insights being delivered by leaders and business owners. Therefore, attendance is expected at all learning and teaching activities.

All lectures, tutorials and workshops are scheduled in your individual timetable. The timetable for classes can be found on the University web site at: http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/. You may make a request to attend a different tutorial on a one-off basis for extenuating circumstances by contacting the unit convenor.

Failure to attend and/or complete any learning and teaching activities, including lectures and tutorials, may impact your final results. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the unit convenor by email to inform them if they are going to be absent. The timetable for classes can be found on the University web site at: http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/.
