Assessment summary

Exercise Management Plan 1 - This small online quiz will be used to confirm student's understanding of the components of the exercise management plan which will be used in subsequent learning activities and form part of the end of semester assessment. This is administered as a timed test, online in canvas. University endorsed AI is permitted for use in this task (e.g. cogniti). This is an individual task.

Quizzes - Two individual quizzes designed to assess knowledge derived from pre-reading material, lectures, and in-class content. There are two 60-min quizzes, each worth 20%. They will be comprised of multiple choice and short answer questions. AI is not permitted for use in this task and it is a closed book assessment. Some questions will refer to detailed case notes for various fictional clients who have elements clinical conditions covered and students will need to answer questions on this material and design components of the EMPs. The first quiz will focus on the respiratory module. The second quiz will focus on the cancer module.

Oral Examination - Students will explain and defend their exercise management plan based on fictional detailed cases during a 15-minute oral examination. Additional details will be provided in canvas. This case will focus on the mental health module.

Exercise Management Plan 2 – One Exercise Management Plan (EMP) will be submitted in addition to a 2 page reflection task with prompts. This comprises 4 A4 pages, 2 for the EMP using the discipline template (consisting of SMART goals, a detailed exercise program, reassessments, and other details), and 2 pages of reflection including rationale for the decisions made in the plan and responsive critique of adaptations for the oral examination. Students may also append an additional 1 page listing of references supporting each EMP.  Additional details will be provided in canvas.

All assessments must be attempted to pass this unit of study.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

  • Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
  • After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

(1) It is expected that unless an application for special consideration, special arrangement or previously arranged disability adjustment has approved an extension, students will submit all assessment for a unit of study on or before the due date specified. (2) If assessments are submitted after the due date of if an extension is not granted or is granted but work submitted by the student after the extended due date, the late submission of assessment will result in an academic penalty. (3) Rules relating to late penalties are outlined in Unit of Study Outlines and the Assessment Procedures 2011. https://www.sydney.edu.au/policies/showdoc.aspx?recnum=PDOC2012/267&RendNum=0 Written work submitted electronically after 11.59 pm on the due date will be considered to have been submitted late. - For every calendar day up to and including ten calendar days after the due date, a penalty of 5% of the maximum awardable marks will be applied to late work. (a) The penalty will be calculated by first marking the work, and then subtracting 5% of the maximum awardable mark for each calendar day after the due date. - For work submitted more than ten calendar days after the due date a mark of zero will be awarded. The marker may elect to, but is not required to, provide feedback on such work.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website  provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.  

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Support for students

The Support for Students Policy 2023 reflects the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic journey and making the University safe for students. It is important that you read and understand this policy so that you are familiar with the range of support services available to you and understand how to engage with them.

The University uses email as its primary source of communication with students who need support under the Support for Students Policy 2023. Make sure you check your University email regularly and respond to any communications received from the University.
