• Workshop and practical attendance: The majority of the learning in this unit will occur in workshops and practical sessions. Students will be required to engage in role-play interviews with other students or tutors. Students will need to participate in online quizzes during and between workshops, and upload the outcomes of class work each week, prior to the next week’s work in order to obtain a Pass for participation for that week. The outcomes are a SOAP plan, subjective, objective, assessment and plan and are uploaded as “Ungraded assignments within Canvas”.  
• Assignments: Students will be assessed on the accuracy and appropriateness of a SOAP plan, subjective, objective, assessment and plan. Students will also be required to complete any formal documentation normally completed by pharmacists.
• Oral interview skills assessment: Students are required to engage in a counselling session in relation to a medication-related issue, acting as a community pharmacist. Assessment involves observation of counselling performance (including verbal and non-verbal behaviour) Another chance to pass this assesment will be provided in week 13.
• Final Examination Students will be assessed on the accuracy and appropriateness of a SOAP plan, subjective, objective, assessment and plan.

PLEASE NOTE: Supplementary Yr assessments: Students may be offered re-assessment of compulsory-to-pass assessments as described in the relevant local provisions. For more information see:https://www.sydney.edu.au/policies/showdoc.aspx?recnum=PDOC2019/498&RendNum=0

Repeating students: Exemption from components (practical, assessments etc) for students repeating PHAR4812 will only be granted by the Year co-ordinator/  Program Director for students who achieved a grade of Credit (65%) or above for the relevant components in their previous attempt completed no more than three calendar years prior, and the relevant component has not significantly changed since the student completed it. Applications for exemption must be made in writing (which includes email) to the unit of study co-ordinator. Students who have been granted a component exemption in writing, together with any consequent change in the weighting of the remaining components in the unit of study, cannot attend the classes for that component and will have their overall mark for PHAR4812 based upon their performance in the remaining components in the unit of study.  Component marks from a previous attempt will not be carried over. The exemption will not become effective until the student has accepted it in writing. Until this time the student must continue to attend all compulsory classes. If an exemption is accepted, the exempted student is not permitted to attend classes for the component for which they have received the exemption.
