Artificial intelligence
Students will be guided in how GenAI may be used in completing the assessment as detailed in the unit outline and assessment instructions. More detailed information can be found at GenAI and Assessment at 萝莉视频
The Library Guide provides further information, including how to reference GenAI.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 萝莉视频. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
萝莉视频 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
萝莉视频 uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the , , and 萝莉视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
There are no compulsory attendance requirements. However, students are expected to engage with learning material and encouraged to attend all practical laboratory classes.
Lectures
All lectures will be pre-recorded lectures and provided via 萝莉视频Learn.
Practical Laboratory Classes
The practical session represents an opportunity to apply content covered in lectures/readings and thus provide a vital part of the understanding and learning process. Students are encouraged to attend all practical sessions. Data for the Gait Lab Report assessment will be collected and processed during some of the practical sessions. Summary data will then be made available via the Biomechanics 2 萝莉视频Learn site. The Case Study Assessment will be completed in Week 13 during the allocated practical session and requires all students to attend. As the Gait Lab Report and Case Study Assessment relate heavily to the practical activities, it is important students attend the practical classes.
Required IT skills
The use of 萝莉视频Learn, library searching skills, word processing, manipulation of data and creation of graphs using Excel (or similar software), and electronic presentation skills are necessary for this unit.
Work placement, internships or practicums
None
