Conference Presentation

ENGG1600 is a course which embeds research into the undergraduate degree in first year. Assessment is authentic - no exam - instead students work towards a final conference at which they present and for which they have had to write a conference paper (using Nature guidelines).

Active Learning Assignment Using On-line Interactive Simulations

Science

Active Learning Assignment Using On-line Interactive Simulations

Students access on-line interactive simulations that allow the exploration of physical systems. They have control over the key parameters which they can actively change and observe the impact on the system under study. The assessment item requires them to explore a particular aspect of the simulation , demonstrating an understanding of the underlying physical processes. A variety of simulations are available across the internet for use across different discipline areas.

Design Development Supported by a Virtual Environment

Delivered in an active learning environment, this work-integrated learning experience and authentic assessment task requires preparation of a written and diagrammatic report . Students critically analyse a given construction detail in 4-dimensions using an interactive digital learning environment, then apply their learning to a 3-dimensional analysis and resolution of two construction details derived from a team-based schematic design completed in the previous assignment.

Workplace Learning Portfolio

Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences

Workplace Learning Portfolio

In Phase 2 (the clinical years) of the MD program in the Faculty of Medicine, students collect evidence of observed practice of core clinical skills - Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX), Direct Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS) and Compulsory Observed Procedural Skills (COPS). They also lodge Clinical Participation Assessments for each clinical rotation. The overarching aims of the Workplace Learning Portfolio course are intern readiness, to be observed practicing core skills and receive feedback, and to use that feedback to continue to grow and develop.

Group Site and Precedent Analysis for Design Studio

Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology

Group Site and Precedent Analysis for Design Studio

Students work in teams to collate and critically analyse a building site, and precedent building designs, that they will use for an individual design later in semester. They learn to work quickly in teams and to critically reflect on their own and team-mates work, in studio. The work is jointly presented in modified 'pecha kucha' style (20 slides for 30 seconds each only) to further share their ideas with the rest of the studio cohort.

Seminar Submission (written or negotiated)

Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences

Seminar Submission (written or negotiated)

As part of a progressive series of seminars, this assessment item acts as the culminating piece for each seminar. The default submission format is a written piece lodged via Turn-It-In of between 750-1500 words - with greater weight allocated to the assessment items as the seminars progress. Because of the nature of the cohort (practising sport coaches) and the level of the program (post-graduate study), students are offered a degree of choice within each seminar (e.g. topic focus and submission format). Students are supported through this process through the seminar structure of reading week, discussion week, assessment week).

Online Tests to Support Student Learning

Business, Economics and Law

Online Tests to Support Student Learning

Students complete two online tests across the semester as part of their progressive learning and assessment for the course. The tests are delivered through the Blackboard exam tool and are written and maintained by the course coordinator. Test questions are developed within the decision-making framework introduced in the course. Each test opens for several days and students are given two attempts at each test.
