Media Inspired Essay

In this assessment students choose a piece of contemporary media and discuss the issues it raises using academic literature. Students are given some restrictions on the media they can choose such as what topic the chosen media should discuss, what forms of media they can choose from, or when the media was released. Students select a media item and read it in order to identify an issue, or several related issues, which relate to the themes of the course. Using the issue/s as a foundation they write their own research question and answer it using the academic literature.

Case-based Assessment for Physiotherapy Students

Case-based Assessment for Physiotherapy Students

Designed as a sequential case-based online and in-class approach, students are able to scaffold their clinical skills and reasoning through developing and implementing case based assessment and management strategies of simple and complex patients. Students are assigned 6 patient cases within Week 8 of the semester of which will be similar to the cases that students are assigned in their end of semester practical examination. Students can work independently or as groups, contributing to Padlet discussions relating to each patient case. Within tutorials, designed sequentially from Week 9 to 12 (2 cases per tutorial), students work together to plan and present their clinical assessment and management of each case, with facilitation and probing from tutorial staff. Within class discussion is facilitated to explore student views and clinical reasoning whilst reflecting on best evidence based practice (Hour 1). Clinical skills practice is then facilitated where students select skills to practice in relation to the outlined case (Hour 2).
