Syllabus Human cardiovascular and respiratory physiology. Pathophysiology, assessment and management of selected pulmonary problems.

Introduction This unit aims to introduce students to the physiotherapy problems of patients with cardiorespiratory disease. As well as the printed material provided, students will need to access scholarly electronic databases, published research articles and information available on the Internet. Attendance is required at greater than 90% of practical sessions. An attendance record will be taken at each practical session. Students who do not meet minimum attendance requirements for the unit may not be granted a supplementary exam in the event of a fail grade for the Practical Examination. It is recommended that students spend approximately 10 hours of study per week on this unit. This includes 2 hours per week lecture and 2 hours per week practical. The contact hours for this unit total 55 hours. To achieve the course outcomes students must demonstrate an ongoing development of their skills and knowledge. In particular physiotherapy assessment, handling and treatment skills learned in units completed prior to this unit may be incorporated into the assessments for this unit. Students are expected to maintain and demonstrate these skills when required. It is compulsory for students to learn all of the techniques specified within the Unit Outline and Guide and to demonstrate that they are competent. Students are required to engage in practice outside specified practical sessions to develop competence. To achieve the course outcomes students must also demonstrate an ongoing development of their handling, assessment and treatment skills learned in units completed prior to this unit. Assessment of these skills may be incorporated into the assessments for this unit. Students are expected to maintain and demonstrate these skills when required. This is a significant unit in which failure twice may lead to the termination of a student’s course.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Assignment Mark Allocation Criteria

Students will be notified of the mark allocation prior to submission of their assignment. Edit your work carefully before handing it in as errors relating to poor writing and readability may result in a loss of up to 50% of the mark allocated to the assignment. This assessment task must be attempted in order to pass this unit.

2. Cardiovascular eTest (Assessment Centre)

This assessment will focus on the material about cardiovascular physiology and disease covered in the first seven weeks of semester and will be run in week 8. The Assessment Centre is on Level 5 of the library. Students will need to complete 30 questions from a bank of questions that the computer will randomly select. This assessment task must be attempted in order to pass this unit.

Please be advised the Assessment Centre booking system gives students some flexibility to book a test at a time that is suitable, however there is no guarantee that your preferred time will be available. It is your responsibility to make a booking and to ensure that you have completed the test within the specified availability period. You must secure a booking PRIOR to the first date that the test is available. You are strongly advised to make your bookings early in the semester and to make a booking for each of the tests listed for this unit.

Please do not leave making the booking until the week of the assessment.

You must take your Student ID card with you to all tests.

3. End of Semester Practical Examination

The practical examination process for GMED2005 Cardiopulmonary Science will involve students demonstrating competence across the range of skills taught throughout the semester. It has one station. This examination must be passed in order to pass this unit.

4. End of Semester Written Examination

The written examination will be one and a half hours in duration and will comprise written answers and/or multiple choice and/or qualified true/false questions. This examination must be passed in order to pass this unit.

Pass requirements

Students must attempt all assessment items and are required to pass both the end of semester practical examination and the end of semester written examination in order to achieve an overall pass in this unit. A unit mark of less than 50% constitutes a fail grade.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Due dates will be strictly adhered to. Extensions will be granted only in cases of urgent need or to students recognised in Curtin’s Elite Athlete Program, and only where formally documented requests are made to the Director of Entry Level Courses, in advance of the assessment being due.

Holidays do not constitute grounds for deferral for any assessment. It is the student’s responsibility to make family members aware of important dates.

Students are expected to lodge an assignment extension request form and supporting documentation to the Director of Entry Level Courses before the date or due date of the assessment task. In exceptional circumstances, a request may be accepted up to 5 working days after the date or due date of the assessment task.

Applications will only be considered where the student is able to provide the Director of Entry Level Courses with a satisfactory explanation of why he or she was not able to submit the application for extension by due date of the assessment task and where the student can provide supporting documentation in line with one of the circumstances detailed on the first page of the assessment extension form (see link below). If you know you are going to miss an upcoming assessment you need to submit your assessment extension application prior to your absence. For further information please refer to Curtin University's Assessment and Student Progression Manual: Consolidated Policies and Procedure.

Please contact the Director of Entry Level Courses if you have any queries regarding your application.

How to apply for an extension:

1. Fill in the Assignment Extension Request Form located http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/documents/Application_forAssessmentExtension.pdf

2. Attach copies of your supporting documentation (eg. Medical certificate, Counsellor's letter, or other relevant information).

3. Deliver your application to Sharon Miller, Student Support Officer. Your application will be assessed and discussed with the Unit Coordinator. The Director of Entry Level Courses will inform you of the outcome via email. Please allow up to 3 working days from submission of your application for notification of the outcome.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.

Additional information Attendance at Classes

Attendance at all lectures is recommended (indeed, highly recommended). It is also highly recommended that you attend all practical, laboratory and tutorial classes to ensure you develop skills and attain feedback while in class. Students attending classes should ensure that they arrive on time, and maintain an attentive disposition, as extraneous noise is discourteous to other students and the lecturer. Students should arrive prior to the designated commencement time for practical classes or they will risk being excluded from the class.

Students who are unable to attend classes must both inform the Unit Coordinator and provide documentation outlining the reasons for their non-attendance. If a prolonged absence is anticipated students should contact their Year/Course Coordinator.

Students who do not meet minimum attendance requirements for the unit may be required to complete additional work that demonstrates they have an adequate understanding of the material covered in the missed sessions. Students will be given a Grade Not Submitted (GNS) grade for the unit until such time as additional work has been completed to an acceptable standard as deemed by the unit coordinator.

Practical Class Requirements

The course requires full participation in all laboratory classes. These sessions cover topics such as surface anatomy, assessment of posture, massage and other manual and clinical physiotherapy and exercise science skills.

Essential learning strategies demand that all students disrobe appropriately and are willing to act as subjects for their peer group. The designated practical class attire is shorts and a t-shirt or polo shirt. Students must also be prepared to remove the polo shirt when performing techniques on the neck, back, shoulder and abdomen. In these cases it is recommended that girls wear a bikini top or bra. This designated practical class attire is to be worn in all scheduled practical classes.

Failure to wear suitable clothing may mean exclusion from class. Please plan appropriately!

Students are required to wear their name badge to all practical classes and clinics. For safety and hygiene reasons fingernails should be short and clean, long hair tied back and wristwatches and jewellery (watches/bracelets/rings/brooches/necklaces/facial piercings) are not to be worn when treating patients. Therefore, these requirements are to be adhered to when practicing hands on treatment techniques during laboratory classes. Valuable items should not be brought into laboratory classes.

Filming of tutors or peers during practical classes is not permitted at any time.

Personal Hygiene and Infection Control

Please ensure that you use the hand washing facilities provided both at the commencement and completion of laboratory sessions that involve patient/student handling. This involves exercising the Five Moments of Hand Hygiene.

Mobile Phones and Other Electronic Devices

Mobile phones must be switched off prior to entry to lecture, laboratory and tutorial sessions. They may not be taken into examination venues.

Further Information about Moderation Processes Used in This Unit

Teaching staff meet prior to examinations to determine the criteria on which students are to be assessed.

The written examination is prepared by the Unit Coordinator in consultation with tutors and other staff involved in teaching the unit. Marking criteria are developed prior to the examination being marked, the criteria will include either a list of key concepts or a range of model answers. Written exams are subject to a review process whereby the paper is reviewed by the unit co-examiner and one other staff member from the School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science to ensure that the questions use clear language, are appropriate for the level of the course, and adequately assess the unit outcomes.

The practical examination has one station which samples different aspects of student performance. Trained physiotherapy students from another year are used as models. The station examines a task related to a specific case study against set criteria. The criteria are assessed using itemised checklists using a competency based scoring system. The practical examination questions and criteria are prepared by the Unit Coordinator in consultation with the co-examiner and other tutors involved in the unit. The questions are then subjected to a peer review process to determine clarity and appropriateness. The examiners are trained in the examination procedure and scoring





method. A global rating system is used to determine a mark for the student's performance. Before entering marks, the Unit Coordinator reviews all examiners' marks to determine reliability between examiners and looks for evidence of bias. If marks are significantly different between any examiner, they are revised following discussion and agreement between the examiner and Unit Coordinator.

Further Information about Supplementary Examination Procedures

Students who have been granted a supplementary exam may only attempt the exam during the specified period. Supplementary exams cannot be deferred except under the specific circumstances as outlined in the assessment policy. You are, therefore, advised not to make any travel plans or work arrangements during the supplementary examination period. No holidays should be booked by a student or by family members on behalf of a student during any supplementary or deferred examination period. Holidays do not constitute grounds for deferral for any assessment. It is the student’s responsibility to make family members aware of important dates.

School of Physiotherapy & Exercise Science Expectations of Professionalism

The School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science has an expectation of students that they will display a high level of professionalism in all timetabled activities during semester and the examination period. This includes (but is not limited to) lectures, practical sessions, laboratory sessions, tutorials, clinical visits and formal assessments.

Students are expected to behave in a manner which allows all students to gain the maximum benefit from the learning experience (as per the university student charter). Expected behaviours include:

l Completing all expected preparatory work (ie readings, practice questions etc) l Ensuring that appropriate clothing and name tag is worn and any required equipment is brought to the

session l Arriving on time for formal teaching sessions l Contacting the unit coordinator in order to notify them of the reasons for any absences from practical

sessions l Switching off mobile phones, iPads and laptop computers during formal teaching sessions unless specifically

instructed to use these by staff l Ensuring that full attention is focussed on tutors or lecturers during presentations l Ensuring that you move to a position where you can see demonstrations in practical sessions or laboratories l Taking care of equipment (including plinths) l Communicating with staff and peers in a respectful manner l Ensuring that email contact with staff includes full name, student ID, year level and contains correct grammar

(ie no use of SMS communication style)

Students who fail to display professional behaviour on a consistent basis may be asked to leave formal tuition activities such as lectures or practical sessions. Repeated incidents of unprofessional behaviour may result in a formal report of General Misconduct and referral to School of Physiotherapy or Faculty Disciplinary panels.
