Supplementary Assessment is designed to assist students to complete their course and progress into employment, further study or other activities. This information is provided to assist students who may be eligible for a supplementary assessment. 1. What is a grade of NF and when is it awarded? If you gain a result in the range 40 to 49 in a unit in the last 80 credit points of your course, and you meet the eligibility criteria below, you will receive an ‘Interim Fail’ (NF) grade for that unit. An NF grade indicates that you are eligible for a supplementary assessment for that unit. 2. What are the eligibility criteria for supplementary assessment? You may be awarded an ‘Interim Fail’ (NF) grade and will be eligible for a supplementary assessment, provided that: a) you have gained a result of 40-49% in the unit; b) the course rules do not preclude Supplementary Assessment; c) the unit is not a professional experience or community engagement unit; d) you have satisfied any compulsory attendance requirements for the unit; e) the unit is in your final 80 credit points (see point 4 below for definition); f) you have passed all other units undertaken in your final 80 credit points; and g) you have not previously been granted an NF grade. 3. Blank results and late submission of grades If you have a unit with no final grade allocated, it will be treated as a passing grade until a final result is entered. Therefore, you could still receive an NF grade for another eligible unit. 4. What does the ‘final 80 credit points’ mean? The final 80 credit points is calculated having regard to the total credit points you have amassed in your course (whether on the basis of units passed or credit granted) and the total credit points required, as per the relevant course rules. For instance, in a 240 credit point course, the final 80 credit points is assessed from the next study period after you have completed 160 credit points. If you have not entered the final 80 credit points at the commencement of any given study period, but will enter your final 80 credit points during that study period, you are not eligible for an Interim Fail (NF) grade for any unit completed during the study period. This is because it is not possible to determine a point at which you commenced your final 80 credit points during the study period. For example, if you are enrolled in a 240 credit point course, have completed 150 credit points at the end of Semester 1 and enrol in four units in Semester 2, you will enter your final 80 credit points during that semester. However, as all units are undertaken concurrently and all results are released at the same time, the actual point at which you commenced your final 80 credit points, within that study period, cannot be determined. 5. How is a zero credit point unit treated? If you fail a unit which has a value of 0 credit points, that failure is not taken into account when determining eligibility for a supplementary assessment. 6. Can I get a supplementary assessment in a professional experience unit? Supplementary assessment is not available in professional experience or community engagement units.7. What form does a Supplementary Assessment take? A supplementary assessment is an additional and new assessment task and may take the form of a full examination covering the spread of content of the unit. Your Lecturer-in-Charge will advise you of the form the supplementary assessment will take. 8. When will the Supplementary Assessment be held? Supplementary assessment will normally be conducted at least one week before the commencement of classes in the following semester. Following the release of results, your School will contact you, to advise the details at least 10 working days prior to the date of the supplementary assessment. In the case of grades finalised late (including as a result of deferred examinations) and NF grades awarded in non-standard study periods, supplementary assessment will be conducted no more than 20 working days after the release of results on Student Connect. 9. What grade do I get if I pass the supplementary assessment? If you pass the supplementary assessment, the highest grade you can achieve is ‘Pass’ (PA). 10. What if I fail the supplementary assessment? If you fail the supplementary assessment, the NF grade will be changed to a ‘Fail’ (NN) grade. 11. What if I’m unable to complete the supplementary assessment? If you are (or were) unable to complete your scheduled supplementary assessment, due to exceptional circumstances (which will require documentary evidence), you must contact your Course Coordinator to see if you qualify for Special Consideration. If your NF grade has not been changed to a final grade by the end of the third week of the next semester, it will be converted to a ‘Fail’ (NN) grade. 12. What if I don’t want to complete a supplementary assessment? It is important to note that you can only be granted one NF grade. If you choose not to complete a supplementary assessment for the relevant unit, you will not be given the opportunity again and your NF grade will be converted to a ‘Fail’ (NN) grade by the end of the third week of the next semester.According to World health organisation (2002), palliative care is an approach that inhibits and reduces the suffering related to life threatening illness by the means of timely recognition and immaculate assessment and treatment of physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems including pain. Thus, palliative care improves the quality of life of individual and family who are suffering from problems related to life-threatening illness by supporting the life of patient and respecting dying as a natural process. In fact, people of any age group can be diagnosed with life-limiting illness. Palliative care that is suitable to an older adult may not fulfil the needs of a dying child. In order to provide holistic care to the patient and their family, an age appropriate palliative approach is essential.(in text). Rather than on the basis of diagnosis and clinical stage, palliative approach is more focused towards the individual need. Palliative approach is appropriate at any phase of illness. It provides a chance to organise and relish the rest of time they have and prepare for death by providing physical, psychological, social and spiritual support to the patient and their family members (State government of Victoria, Australia, Department of health, 2014) Physically, palliative approach support patient by helping to manage their pain and physical discomfort. Pain is the most common symptom that occurs in more than sixty-five percent of people who are suffering from life-limiting illness (Faull, Carter & Daniels, 2005). The progression of disease and the side effects of treatment may cause further symptoms such as nausea, constipation, anorexia, insomnia, and lethargy. Almost all of the palliative team has pain and symptom management expertise specialized in managing symptoms on the basis of the age group of patients. Such team promotes the continuity of care with the smooth and even transition of care (Pritchard, Cuvelier, Harlos & Barr, 2011). Thereby, promoting the psychological comfort and well being of patient and family members.
