Professional Poster Presentation on Employability
An internship, reflective activities and two reflective assessments scaffolded students to create posters evidencing their employability, graduate attributes and their unique personal brand developed in workplace projects. Articulating their abilities, showing how they added value to current and potential employers, students demonstrated how these experiences can support future transition to their careers. Posters also showing their LinkedIn profile, career ambitions and skills assessments were displayed to industry representatives who provided feedback. Posters can be used as a resource during recruitment complementing a resume.

Short Creative Writing Piece
This assessment is primarily designed to test students' compositional dexterity by focusing on emulating the selected genre. A portion of the overall mark is allocated for originality and creativity. While students must adhere to stylistic requirements they are free to write on a topic of their choosing, thus offering a personalised approach to learning.
Assessment method
Sound File Project
This task-based, computer assisted language learning assessment sees students record and upload weekly audio files responding to questions or prompts from course coordinators. This is a practical means of extending spoken language learning beyond contact hours in a way that provides students with personalised feedback and opportunities for rapport building.

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.
