Theoretical & practical information on advanced audiological assessments & the total quality management process in professional clinical audiology.
This courseﾠreviews the current theory and practice of the advanced components of the electrophysiological and acoustic-mechanical responses.ﾠThese responsesﾠincludeﾠotoacoustic emissions, auditory evoked responses (electrocochleography, auditory brainstem responses, middle and late letancy responses,ﾠand auditory steady state responses), single-frequency and multi-frequency immittance, wideband acoustic immittanceﾠand vestibular assessments.
Course requirements
Assumed background
Students should beﾠable to conduct and interpretﾠthe results of a basicﾠtest battery including otoscopy, pure tone audiometry, immittance tests and speech audiometry.
Prerequisites

Task description
You are required to submit 5 reports for the practicals.
Each report will be due 2 weeks after completion of the practical/laboratory work. The students will submit their reports via Turnitin on the Blackboard.
Students must:
- answer all questions in each report,
- provide appropriate references (and a reference list) when necessary,
- present all tables with appropriate numbering, headings and units for variables,
- present all diagrams or illustrations with appropriate numbering, legends and units for variables, and
- include all raw data for each experiment in an Appendix.
Submission guidelines
All reports are to be submitted to the course coordinator by email attachment (k.kei@uq.edu.au). The due dates for the reports are shown in the lecture and practical schedule.
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
The maximum extension allowed is 7 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.
Requests for extension of assessment due date must be made online, via your my.UQ portal at least 24 hours prior to the submission date. The request must also contain documentation satisfactorily supporting the request. If an extension is approved, you will be notified via your my.UQ portal and the new date for submission provided.
Late submission
A penalty of 10% of the maximum possible mark will be deducted per 24 hours from time submission is due for up to 7 days. After 7 days, you will receive a mark of 0.
Late submission of assessment items will attract a penalty of 10% of the mark per day late or, for work graded on a 1-7 scale, a deduction of one grade per day (including weekends and public holidays), unless a formal extension has been organized prior to the due date.

Course grading
Full criteria for each grade is available in the Assessment Procedure.
| Grade | Cut off Percent | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Low Fail) | 0 - 34 |
Absence of evidence of achievement of course learning outcomes. Course grade description: A cumulative percentage from all assessment of 0 - 34%. |
| 2 (Fail) | 35 - 44 |
Minimal evidence of achievement of course learning outcomes. Course grade description: A cumulative percentage from all assessment of 35 - 44%. |
| 3 (Marginal Fail) | 45 - 54 |
Demonstrated evidence of developing achievement of course learning outcomes Course grade description: A cumulative percentage from all assessment of 45 - 54%. A grade of 3 will be awarded to a student who achieves a final mark of 55% or higher but who does not pass the 'must pass' assessment item noted below. |
| 4 (Pass) | 55 - 64 |

Additional course grading information
Final marks falling between whole percentages will be rounded to the nearest whole percentage. Tie-breaking will be conducted using the round half up method whereby half-way values are always rounded up, meaning, for example, that 89.5% and above will be rounded to 90% and 89.49% and below will be rounded down to 89%.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This course contains ‘must pass’ assessment items, as follows: Reflection and End of semester final examination.ﾠYou must pass these items to pass this course overall, i.e. even if your final percentage mark is 55% or higher the individual ‘must pass’ assessment items must have been passed.
Supplementary assessment
Supplementary assessment is available for this course.
Additional assessment information
Use of Generative AI in assessments
Assessment tasks in this course evaluate students' abilities, skills, and knowledge without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students are advised that the use of AI technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Due Times for Assessment
All assessment/exam times are scheduled in Australian Eastern Standard time. If you are not in Queensland, please ensure you take any time differences into account.
Difficulties with assessing student work
The Course Coordinator may request a personal interview if there are difficulties with assessing any assessment tasks.
Resubmission/Resit of Assessment Itemsﾠ
The School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences supports the concept of resubmission or resitting of failed assessment items in specific and defined circumstances. In this course, the Laboratory Reports areﾠeligible for consideration of the resubmission option if the assessment item was submitted on time.
After resubmission, the maximum result is a pass mark for that assessment component. Students who are granted a resubmission for an assessment item and do notﾠsubmit by the scheduled date will not be permitted to reschedule the assessment.
Students will be eligible for a maximum of one resubmission option for this course.
