Assessment summary

Details about the assessment are below:

Online Quiz: There are five quizzes in total and each quiz is worth 4%.
Case Study Report: The purpose of this case study report style of writing is for students to use research to demonstrate their understanding of their learnings from the lectures and tutorials. For this assignment, you are required to identify a current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program that is being delivered by an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled health organisation in a rural, urban or remote setting. In your writing you will need to demonstrate your understanding of what defines the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled health organisation and how culture is being utilised in service delivery. Secondly, you are required to provide a context to the case study by critiquing the literature surrounding the program. Thirdly, to bring the report together and show your understanding of this unit of study you will need to provide an evaluation of the program itself, including how the literature informs the aims and objectives, how is the program being delivered, why is the program effective and is the Aboriginal community controlled organisation or service achieving the outcomes towards closing the gap.
Critique Diary: The aim of the critique diary is to provide you with the opportunity to critique one different topic of your choice from the lecture each week. Each critique requires you to identify a topic in each lecture of which to critique and provide constructive arguments based on unbiased thoughts and facts in 250 words, equalling a total of no more than 1 500 words (with 10% allowance per critique). You are required to complete a minimum of six different topics and accompanying critiques from six different lectures (for HSBH3001) with a minimum of two references per critique (one for and one opposing argument). Each diary critique entry requires the date, title of the lecture and the topic that you are critiquing; this heading is not included in your word count (a template is provided on the Canvas site under assessments). The APA 6th edition in-text references are not included in your word count. As you do this assignment, remember to look at the marking matrix (on the Canvas site under assignments) and learning outcomes for this Unit of Study.

All assessments must be submitted in order to be eligible to pass the unit otherwise an AF (Absent Fail) grade will be awarded.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.
