CAUD8016 – Complex Case Management
2021 – Session 2, Special circumstances, North Ryde
Session 2 Learning and Teaching Update
The decision has been made to conduct study online for the remainder of Session 2 for all units WITHOUT mandatory on-campus learning activities. Exams for Session 2 will also be online where possible to do so.
This is due to the extension of the lockdown orders and to provide certainty around arrangements for the remainder of Session 2. We hope to return to campus beyond Session 2 as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Some classes/teaching activities cannot be moved online and must be taught on campus. You should already know if you are in one of these classes/teaching activities and your unit convenor will provide you with more information via iLearn. If you want to confirm, see the list of units with mandatory on-campus classes/teaching activities.

Unit description
This unit aims to further develop skills in the assessment and clinical management of more complex cases that are seen in audiological practice. It encourages a holistic or a multidisciplinary approach to both assessment and management. Diagnostic procedures include auditory evoked potentials at cortical level that measure auditory precept and discrimination. Complex disorders include tinnitus, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, non-organic hearing loss, cortical deafness, vestibular rehab, meniere's disease, and auditory processing disorders.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- ULO1: competently appraise, evaluate and apply audiological management skills of complex cases.
- ULO2: demonstrate knowledge of auditory pathway anatomy and physiology especially at cortical level.
- ULO3: competently develop, apply and discuss appropriate selection of assessments for complex disorders.
- ULO4: competently develop, apply and discuss multidisciplinary approach for complex cases.
General Assessment Information
Assessment task late submission policy
Requesting an extension to assignment due date
On occasion, you may be in a situation when you aren't able to submit an assessment task on time. Extensions are only given in special circumstances, by completing a Special Consideration request. For more information on Special Consideration, see https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration
Late submission of assignments
If you haven't been approved for an extension and you submit your assessment task late, penalties are applied. You should consult your unit convenor if you are in this position. Late submissions will receive a 5% per day penalty. If you submit the assessment task 10 days or more beyond the due date, without an approved extension, you will be awarded a maximum of 50% of the overall assessment marks. Weekends and public holidays are included.
