Task description
OCTY7811 Peer Teaching Task – Cranial Nerves and Cerebral Blood Supply
Task: Students will work in groups of 2-3 to prepare a poster of one (randomly allocated) cranial nerve or cerebral artery. Students will then be required to record themselves presenting their poster in a short video which will be uploaded onto learn.UQ and shared as a study resource. Each presentation should provide information regarding the origin, termination (or branching) and function of their allocated cranial nerve or blood vessel, including relevance for occupational performance. These posters and the associated presentation will be marked and feedback will be provided.
Students must complete and submit an individual contribution sheet outlining the percentage of contribution of each member of the group. Each student in the group must complete a separate individual contribution sheet and indicate the contributions of all group members including themselves. The % given to each student by each group member will then be added and the overall grade will be adjusted according to contribution. For contributions of 95% and over students will receive 100% of the group mark. For contributions of less than 95%, the individual mark will be 90% of the group mark. However, if contributions total less than 55% for the assignment then that student will receive 55% of the group mark (the minimum mark based on the individual contributions however will be a passing mark). Individual contribution sheets are to be submitted online via Learn.UQ. Details on use of Individual Contribution Sheet will be provided on Learn.UQ.
Submission guidelines
More information about the assessment task, including detailed submission instructions, will be uploaded onto learn.UQ

Task description
This practical viva exam assesses a core skill for occupational therapy and students are required to achieve a passing grade of 5 or above (> 65%) to pass the assessment item.
Students will be asked to conduct one range of motion and one manual muscle test on a peer.
Students will record an automatic fail for that test if they assess the incorrect limb (left vs right) or the incorrect movement as these are considered critical clinical errors.
In the event of disruption that prevents the scheduled assessment occurring as planned, the assessment will be changed to a zoom invigilated viva exam. The timing of the assessment may also be impacted.
Section 3, Part 5 (89):
When a student is required to complete an oral or practical assessment item worth 20% or more, the performance will be recorded and retained in accordance with Appendix 1. See Section 7, Appendix 1 (187) Assessment Procedure / Document / Policy and Procedure Library (uq.edu.au for more information.
Recordings will be stored in a secure manner and will only be accessed for the purposes of:
a. moderation of marking
b. provision of feedback to the student(s) recorded; and/or
c. re-marking following a successful re-mark application.

Additional learning resources information
Statement Regarding Provision of Lecture Contentﾠﾠ
Lecture notes will be provided on Learn.UQ (Blackboard) prior to lectures and/or tutorials whenever possible. Additional material and information conveyed during lectures and tutorials will not be supplied to students in electronic form after the class has finished. It is expected that students will take notes during classes to supplement the notes provided on Learn.UQ, as note taking enhances learning and recall of information.
It is the responsibility of students who are not able to attend a lecture/tutorial to liaise with other students to obtain content from missed classes. When available,ﾠlecture recording software (Echo360) will be used. Students should be aware that lecture recording software is not available in all lecture theatres, and allocation of lecture rooms is out of the control of the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Thus, the use of lecture recording software should not be assumed.ﾠ
Statement regarding class participation
As occupational therapists-in-training, occupational therapy students are required to develop a range of professional competencies.ﾠOCTY coded courses aim to provide students with learning activities and experiences that support the development of these professional skills and behaviours. Thus, participation in workshops is strongly recommended overall, particularly as the must pass ROM/MMT Practical Viva assessment task directly relates to activities completed during these learning activities.
