Syllabus Further development of physiotherapy clinical competencies in the management of selected cardiopulmonary problems. Aspects of the pathophysiology, assessment and management of dyspnoea, decreased exercise tolerance, respiratory muscle weakness and fatigue, airflow limitation, impaired gas exchange and impaired airway clearance are covered.

Introduction In Medical Cardiopulmonary Science, students will further develop their assessment and management skills of the patient with cardiopulmonary disease.  This unit is a continuum of GMED2005 Cardiopulmonary Science.

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.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. The practical examination process for Medical Cardiopulmonary Science will involve students demonstrating competence across the range of skills taught throughout the semester.  It has one station.  The practical examination will involve trained physiotherapy students from another year acting as models.  The station will examine tasks 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 releasing marks to the students, 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 examiners, they are revised following discussion and agreement between the examiner and unit coordinator. 

2. The end of semester examination will cover all material presented, referred to and requested in the Guide. Thus questions could be asked about information presented in the Guide or in the Readings.  Questions could also be asked on the information students are requested to gather in the Activity sections, ie self-directed reading is examinable.  The one and a half-hour examination will comprise short answer questions and may include case studies. 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 & Exercise Science to ensure that the questions use clear language, are appropriate for the level of the course, and adequately assess the unit objectives.

3. Case Study 2 (the breathless patient) and Case Study 4 (NIV) are required to be submitted as assignments.  Feedback on the ideal management of the patients described in these case studies will be provided during the practical sessions.  Students are required to submit a typed report (using the template provided in Blackboard) on Case Study 2 by 1pm on Wednesday 22nd March and Case Study 4 by 1pm on Wednesday 3rd May.

Pass requirements

Students must achieve a Final Unit Mark of 50% or greater to pass this unit.  Assessments for this unit consist of various modes as listed previously, all of which must be attempted satisfactorily in order to obtain an overall pass mark for the unit.  In particular, a passing mark of 50% must be obtained for both the written and the practical exam.

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

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

(e.g. 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 (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. 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.

In the School of Physiotherapy & Exercise Science, all applications for assessment extension along with supporting documentation must be lodged with the Director of Entry Level Courses.

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

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will have a due date or be held between 10/07/2017 and 14/07/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of students to be available to complete the requirements of a supplementary assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a supplementary assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 10/07/2017 to 14/07/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

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. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

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.

Additional information Feedback Feedback is necessarily a two-way process. Feedback includes your lecturers/tutors providing you with you information, answers to questions and specific feedback that helps you to understand a concept, correct any misunderstandings or clarify the topics that you are learning. Feedback also involves you providing information that might assist your tutors learn more about you, your knowledge and how you learn best. It is beholden upon all students to actively and constructively engage with any and all formal and informal feedback processes and to seek guidance regarding specific issues where required.   Feedback in this unit is considerable and typically occurs in two basic forms:  

1. When verbal or written information is exchanged directly between you and the teaching staff of the unit. This would include but is not limited to you receiving marks for any completed assessments plus any associated specific comments and your final unit grade

2. When you receive and/or hear written or verbal answers to questions or explanations about assessments during lectures, in lab or via Blackboard.

  “Feedback” can occur at any point during semester both in and out of class. There are specific feedback sessions run ‘in-class’ during practical sessions. Within each face-to-face session there will also inevitably be questions asked by tutors to the whole class or small groups and answers discussed and students should actively engage with this process. Equally, students may pose questions during class and everyone should be prepared to participate in the exploration of the concept and thus obtain feedback.   Feedback ‘out of class’ typically occurs through the Blackboard unit and (e.g. announcements, documents summarising generic feedback following completion of assessments etc) or by any other form of acceptable communication such as email or personal appointment.   School of Physiotherapy and 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 (http://students.curtin.edu.au/rights/student_charter.cfm), expected behaviours include:

l Completing all expected preparatory work (ie readings, practice questions etc.) l Ensuring that appropriate clothing is worn and equipment is brought to the session l Arriving on time for formal teaching 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 and Exercise Science or Faculty Disciplinary panels.

Attendance at Classes Attendance at all lectures is recommended (indeed, highly recommended). It is also highly recommended that you attend all practical 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.   Attendance is required at greater than 90% of practical sessions.  An attendance record will be taken at each practical session.  If a prolonged absence is anticipated students should contact their Year/Course Coordinator.    

Practical Class Participatory/Dress Requirements This unit requires full participation in all laboratory classes. These sessions cover topics such as surface anatomy, assessment of posture, manual and clinical physiotherapy 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 chest 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.   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. Enrolment

It is your responsibility to ensure that your enrolment is correct - you can check your enrolment through the eStudent option on OASIS, where you can also print an Enrolment Advice.

Student Rights and Responsibilities It is the responsibility of every student to be aware of all relevant legislation, policies and procedures relating to their rights and responsibilities as a student. These include:

l the Student Charter l Values and Signature Behaviours l the University's policy and statements on plagiarism and academic integrity l copyright principles and responsibilities l the University's policies on appropriate use of software and computer facilities

Information on all these things is available through the University's "Student Rights and Responsibilities" website at: students.curtin.edu.au/rights.
