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 Related Requirements
The incident review will require participation in an online workshop with other students in order to work in teams to problem solve and apply critical thinking to the process of an incident review.Assessment Detail
The formative assessment will be comprised of an online quiz with 20 questions relating to analysing clinical questions and appraising evidence.
Assessment 1 will be an incident review workshop (10%). This will require students to work in teams to analyse a clinical scenario utilising the safety and quality matrix.
Assessment 2 (30%) will be an incident review report based on the workshop. Students will be required to analyse the dynamics of the group work as well as further explore the application of the safety and quality matrix using evidence based literature to justify their discussion.
Assessment 3 (60%) Students will be required to choose a clinical scenario from a selection provided and apply the safety and quality matrix. Students will be required to critically analyse the chosen scenario and provide recommendations based on evidence based guidelines to improve the quality of practice and patient safety.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.
This course is running for the first time in 2020. There are no previous SELT data to report. -

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.
