The assessments in this unit of study follow a continuous assessment ideology which allows the accumulation of assessment material throughout the unit:

• Group Charter and Project Plan (Barrier, 0%): A group charter is an agreement on the responsibilities of each group member. The project plan is an agreed process for the progression of the project each week. The group charter and project plan are developed in the briefing session and are due for submission at the end of the briefing week. Both tasks are barrier tasks and must be approved by the teaching team before beginning project activities. Formative feedback will be given to students to assist their development.

• Work, Health and Safety Checklist: Completion of a work, health and safety checklist confirms the site has inducted you into their space. This is a requirement of all placement units of study.

• Reflective Journal (30%): A deep reflection on the challenges encountered with specific reference to project planning, management and implementation and descriptions of approaches to solve such issues. Students must maintain appropriate ethical and social responsibilities, cultural awareness and professional practice incorporating the principles, legislation, regulations, rights and responsibilities underpinning the ESSA Code of Professional Conduct and Ethical Practice. The reflective journal consists of two entries throughout the project period due in weeks 4 (15%) and 6 (15%) of the intensive, respectively. Students have an opportunity to practice reflecting within a formative task that occurs during the briefing week.

• Presentation (20%): The purpose of this assessment is to provide an overall picture of the student's project experience to a wider audience. Members of staff from the Faculty, as well as prospective students, will be invited to attend. This is an opportunity for the student to present the knowledge and experience they have gained, and the relevance for their learning within their degree and to the scope of practice of an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and their potential future work as an AEP within the Australian health care system framework. The final mark for the presentation is an individual mark comprising of individual and group components.

• Project Report (50%): This assessment is the culmination of the project experience, combining the student’s learning from their previous assessments with the skills and knowledge they have gained on the project within the context of their program and to the scope of practice of an AEP and their potential future work as an AEP within the Australian health care system framework. The project report is split into two phases. Phase 1 (25%) is due in week 4 of the intensive and consists of the introduction/background/context of your project and the methods by which your project is being completed. Phase 2 (25%) is due in week 6 of the intensive and consists of your results and conclusions/recommendations from your project.

• Project Deliverable (0%): Submission of the final deliverable from working with the site.

All assessments must be attempted in this unit of study by submitting written tasks through Canvas and presenting during the presentation task. Failure to attempt an assessment will result in an Absent Fail (AF) grade.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas within the “Assignments” tab.
