• Workshop participation and pre-work: Students are expected to actively participate in workshop activities, to complete and submit pre-work before each workshop, and to have done the relevant readings and either attended or listened to linked lectures.
• Tutorial quizzes: There are three in-class quizzes during week 6, 10 and 12 tutorials. The first two quizzes include 10 multiple-choice questions; the third includes 5 multiple-choice questions. These quizzes cover content in lectures and workshops during weeks 3 to 5 (tutorial quiz 1); weeks 6-9 (tutorial quiz 2) and weeks 10-11 (tutorial quiz 3). The quizzes provides examples of the types of questions to be expected on the final exam and allow students to assess their progress throughout the semester. 
• Reflective research skills assignment: In this individual assignment, which is submitted on-line, each student is asked to find and select three references each that will be useful for their team projects and to explain their literature search, why they selected these references, and why they judge the evidence to be trustworthy.
• Team project A: 'pitch presentation': The aim of this first presentation is for teams to “pitch” their project and convince the audience of the need for an intervention. This 'pitch' can be to a community group, funder, or government body. The main focus is on the health risk, why an intervention is needed, and why a specific region or community was selected. 
• Team project B: final presentation: This presentation describes the team’s planned intervention, including background information on the health risk, why an intervention is needed, previous experience, details of intervention activities, and how success will be evaluated.
• Team project C: final report: The final report on the team’s public health intervention should include the public health issue, region and at-risk population addressed, and the planned intervention. It includes background research on epidemiology and on the effectiveness of previous interventions to address the issue.
• Final examination: The final examination is framed around the course learning objectives and focuses on the main content in the lectures and workshops. There will be approximately 1-2 exam questions per lecture and 2 exam questions per workshop. The exam will be a mix of multiple choice and short answer questions.
• The Final Exam requires a minimum of 50% pass to pass this unit overall.
• Reflective peer review of groupwork: Students are asked to reflect on their own and their fellow team members' contributions to the team project. This assignment is submitted on-line.
