MDSC comprises a 6.25 credit point subject and as such there are some hurdle assessment requirements which must be met in order to pass the subject. The assessment task you need to complete will depend on what year level you are in. All assessment is pass/fail, and all items are hurdle.

Please see below for the assessment guidelines for last years iteration of MDSC: MDSC2022

The ePortfolio is an opportunity for you to reflect upon your thoughts and experiences from MDSC. Successful completion of the e-Portfolio is a hurdle requirement to pass the MDSC subject.

The requirements for the ePortfolio differ by year level. You will be required to complete all compulsory elements (CE) and secondary elements (SE) allocated to your year level. Only the minimum amount of secondary elements required will be assessed; however, you may choose to exceed this amount if you wish.

You must complete all of the compulsory elements allocated to your year level. The Research Evaluation requires evaluation of 1 MD Research Oral Presentation which can be attended to on your virtual day. Some year levels are also required to complete secondary elements (below).

MD1: conference reflection & research evaluation

MD2: conference reflection, research evaluation & ePortfolio reviews

MD3: conference reflection, research evaluation & ePortfolio reviews

MD4: ePortfolio reviews and participation in a professional practice tutorial discussion on your experiences of MDSC across the entire 4 years of participation. This will be held in the fortnight commencing 29 Aug 2022 and more details will be sent in early July.
