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.

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.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance: Students are expected to participate in all activities, including Health Collaboration Challenge (week 2), weekly lectures and self-directed activities.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

  • LO1. Demonstrate the ability to engage in interprofessional collaborative practice with health care students through active participation in Health Collaboration Challenge, in order to produce a video and abstract showcasing interprofessional pathways for a patient with complex health care needs.
  • LO2. Examine the Australian health care system, including provisions for medical radiation science practice, patient advocacy, safety framework, and the roles and scope of the professional and regulatory bodies associated with medical radiation sciences, in order to construct arguments and present information in both written and oral form.
  • LO3. Apply knowledge of Australian health care law to medical radiation science case studies that integrate common issues relating to criminal and civil law, negligence, consent, confidentiality, error and apologies, in order to develop a written discussion of significant issues.
  • LO4. Apply knowledge of ethical codes, principles and the rights of patients to medical radiation sciences case studies, in order to reach decisions which show responsibility and accountability, and an in-depth understanding of the bioethical principles underpinning medical radiation science practice.
  • LO5. Identify scenarios relating to mandatory notification, mandatory reporting, in order to discuss professional and legal responsibilities of medical radiation science professionals.
  • LO6. Examine leadership, advanced practice and professional/personal reflective practice within the medical radiation sciences context, and identify ongoing professional learning needs and opportunities, including knowledge of CPD requirements, in order to develop a personal pathway for life-long learning and/or frameworks for supporting skill development.
  • LO7. Employ reflection to scrutinise personal experience of the BDR program in its entirety in order to develop a comprehensive evidence base of accomplishments (including personal learning skills development, achievement of graduate qualities, insight and successes around the MRPBA domains) within the scope of entry level DR practice.
  • LO8. Construct evidence-based narratives and statements of professional competence, achievements and successes, suitable for CV implementation through written, visual and digital form, in order to create an aspirationally focused vision of self as a practicing diagnostic radiography health professional through a personal ePortfolio site.
