Assessment summary

Programmatic Assessment (PA) is used in the SMP which involves a program of assessment, standard setting, attendance, professionalism and conduct, Learning Advisor meetings and opportunities for remediation.

An integrated program of assessment across the two Units of Study for Year 2 (MDMP6511- Clinical and Research Practice 1 and MDMP6512- Clinical and Research Practice 2). The assessments will be included in a portfolio system called the Student Progress Record (SPR).

Assessments will be integrated across the 8 vertical themes:

1) Basic and Clinical Sciences (BCS)

2) Clinical Skills (CS)

3) Diagnostics and Therapeutics (D&T)

4) Research, Evidence and Informatics (REI)

5) Population Health (PH)

6) Indigenous Health (IH)

7) Ethics, Law and Professionalism (ELP)

8) Inter-professional Learning and Teamwork (IPL)

The expected standard for each assessment must be met and will be outlined on Canvas. Decisions regarding the expected standard for each individual assessment will be based on a) a modified Cohen method of standard setting for knowledge-based assessments and b) competency levels defined by rubrics for written submissions and skill-based clinical assessment.

Marks in lower stake quizzes will not form part of the Student Progress Record, but participation rates will be included.

Progression is determined by the SMP Portfolio Advisory Group on the advice of the Year 2 Portfolio Advisory Group.

All students who meet the expected standard in all assessments will progress, if they have not breached the faculty professionalism requirements. In some cases, students may be required to undergo remediation and further assessment to meet the expected standards for progression. Please note there is a not a total numerical score that determines progression. You are required to meet the individual assessment expected standards to progress.

The progression policies are outlined in the course resolutions: (https://www.sydney.edu.au/handbooks/medicine_health_PG/coursework_mr/medicine_doctor_rules.shtml

Assessment criteria

At the end of Semester 2, students will receive one of the following grades for both Year 2 Units of Study; Satisfied Requirements (SR), Failed Requirements no mark (FR) or another non-completion grade as per Schedule 1 of the Coursework Policy 2014.

For more information see guide to grades.

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:

Late submission policies will apply if the submitted assessments are not uploaded by the due date.

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.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

You may only use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator. If you do use these tools, you must acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section. The assessment instructions or unit outline will give guidance of the types of tools that are permitted and how the tools should be used.

Your final submitted work must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools that have been used in the assessment, and any material that forms part of your submission must be appropriately referenced. For guidance on how to acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the AI in Education Canvas site.

The unapproved use of these tools or unacknowledged use will be considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

Studiosity is permitted unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission as detailed on the Learning Hub’s Canvas page.

Outside assessment tasks, generative AI tools may be used to support your learning. The AI in Education Canvas site contains a number of productive ways that students are using AI to improve their learning.
