Assessment 1 - Canvas Lecture Quizzes: The assessment includes 5 short online quizzes based on lecture content delivered in Weeks 1-5 (inclusive). Once opened, each quiz has a 10-minute time period for completion. Each lecture quiz opens immediately after the coinciding lecture session (i.e., Lecture Quiz 1 opens after the Week 1 lecture session). The lecture quiz closes one week following the lecture session (e.g., Lecture Quiz 1 closes immediately before the Week 2 Lecture session).

Please note, students have to attempt lecture quizzes. A no attempt - and thereby non-submission - in three of the five lecture quizzes means >50% of the assessment available hasn't been attempted. Thus, an absent 'Absent Fail' mark will be awarded if three or more quizzes are not attempted. An Absent Fail also means an overall unit grade cannot be obtained. The unit coordinator will contact and inform any affected students at the end of the Assessment 1 completion period (i.e., Week 6).

Assessment 2 - Mid-Semester Exam: The assessment requires students to answer questions based on lecture content from Week 1-6 (inclusive) in a structured short and long answer format. Questions will assess accumulating knowledge and understanding, thus far, in the unit. Questions will ask students to synthesise or apply the information acquired to specific situations or contexts. Students must attempt the assessment, otherwise, an Absent Fail grade will be awarded, and an overall unit grade will not be attainable. 

Assessment 3 - Athlete Development Issue & Problem-Solving Proposal: In small groups, the assessment targets the capability to synthesise contemporary research evidence from sports science discipline areas to address a key (common) problem in athlete development. Groups will need to consider, identify, create, and propose strategies/solutions to address a given athlete development problem. Groups will propose and plan the implementation of a proposed strategy/solution. The assessment is framed as if proposing to an athlete development pathway leader/manager within a sports context. Students must attempt the assessment, otherwise, an Absent Fail grade will be awarded, and an overall unit grade will not be attainable.

To develop graduate skills and post-graduation employment capability, Assessment 3 requires sustained individual contribution toward group/team assessment tasks. Individual student contribution toward group activity will be evaluated during and toward the end of Assessment 3 completion. Potential inadequate contributions or forms of academic dishonesty will be investigated by a tutor and unit coordinator. Further details and procedures for investigation are reported under Assessment 3 in the EXSS3064 Canvas site.  

Assessment Submission Requirements: Please note a submission attempt at each assessment listed is required. In other words, student candidates cannot attain an overall unit percentage and attainment grade, if they have not submitted in one (or more) of the unit assessments. 

Note: More detailed information related to each assessment can be found on the EXSS3064 Canvas site.
