Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student emails
There have been some technical issues with the submission of clinical assessments highlighted by students during the term.
Prior to term one 2022, assessments were submitted in written format, so utilising SONIA is still relatively new. Student issues were addressed in a timely manner and processes were improved throughout the term through the collaboration between the Unit Coordinator and the Work Integrated Learning Team. Future regular meetings are recommended between these stakeholders, particularly prior to formative and summative assessment to ensure that students are able to submit their assessments easily. Clear instructions will be sent out to both students and industry partners via email prior to formative and summative assessments with the aim of providing a clear and streamlined process.
Feedback from SUTE
Two students provided feedback that the volume of weekly content was too high.
There is no specific weekly content provided in the Midwifery Practice 2 unit as it is focuses on clinical practice. This may have been confused with the Foundations of Midwifery 2 unit and further explanation will be given to the cohort and future students on the requirements of clinical units.
- Assess, plan, provide, and evaluate physiological care of the woman and her baby experiencing complex factors using the latest Australian College of Midwives (ACM) National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral and digital health and emerging technologies.

10.00 am – 12.00 pm
or
12.30 pm – 2.30 pm
Please follow the instructions below to present the group poster:
Each group will have 10 minutes to explain their understanding of their topic and the associated information presented on the poster: In your discussion, you are advised to follow the same format as when designing your poster:
- Define the chosen pregnancy complication.
- Outline the potential consequences/ outcomes of the pregnancy complication.
- Explore the evidence-based recommendations and multidisciplinary involvement required.
Please note:
As this is a group learning exercise, all students must be present for the duration of the scheduled Zoom session. You are required to make appropriate roster requests to ensure availability.
Literature and references
In this assessment use at least 5 contemporary references (<5 years) for the individual written task, and at least 5 contemporary references (<5 years) for the group poster design task to support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as from
government, university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of Midwives. Note, that websites such as Stat Pearls, Life in the Fastlane, and Wikipedia are not suitable for this assessment task. Lecture notes are not primary sources of evidence and should not be used in this assessment.
Requirements
Written Assessment
- Use a conventional and legible size 12 font, such as Times New Roman, with 2.0 line spacing and 2.54 cm page margins (standard pre-set margin in Microsoft Word).
- Include page numbers on the top right side of each page in a header.
- Use formal academic language.
- Use the seventh edition American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style. The CQUniversity Academic Learning Centre has an online CQU APA Referencing Style Guide.
The word count excludes the reference list but includes in-text citations (i.e., paraphrasing, or direct quotations). Note. Paraphrasing is required.
Poster
- Your poster should be presented on one page.
- Use language appropriate to the target audience: your professional peers.
- There is no word count for the poster but ensure that you use a legible font size and text is clear and to the point.
- Use bullets, numbering, and headlines to make it easy to read.
- In-text referencing should be included in the poster. The reference list can be presented on an additional page to the poster.
Presentation
- 10 minutes in length.
- All students within the allocated group must be available to present their poster.
Resources
- You can use unit-provided materials and other credible sources (e.g., journal articles, books) to reference your argument. The quality and credibility of your sources are important.
- We recommend that you access your discipline-specific library guide: the nursing and midwifery guide.
You may like to manage your citations and reference list. Information on how to use academic referencing software (EndNote) is available at the CQUniversity Library website should you wish to learn how to use it. - For information on academic communication please go to the Academic Learning Centre Moodle site. The Academic Communication section has many helpful resources including information for students with English as a second language.
- Submit a draft before the due date to review your Turnitin Similarity Score before making a final submission. Instructions are available here.
- For information on using PowerPoint please go to the Academic Learning Centre Computing Basics section – How to use PowerPoint.
- For information on using Zoom to present your assessment please go to Zoom web conferencing.
The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) tools, including AI-driven writing assistants and content generators, is not permitted in this assessment. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA] (2018), Midwifery Standards of Practice requires students to demonstrate essential human capacities, skills, knowledge, and integration of theory into practice, crucial for midwifery practice. Midwifery practice relies on human interaction, empathy, ethical decision-making, and effective communication—skills that cannot be adequately assessed through AI-generated content. To ensure the integrity and development of these capabilities, students must verify that any grammar or writing enhancement programs used do not incorporate AI components. Compliance with midwifery practice standards is vital for meeting AHPRA/NMBA graduate attributes and preparing for professional practice.
Submission
- Submit your written assessment via the unit Moodle site in Microsoft Word format by the submission time and date: 2355 (AEST) Friday 6th September 2024.
- The poster should be formatted as a PDF file and also submitted via the unit Moodle site at this time/date. Please do not edit this after the presentation.
- You will be presenting live to your lecturer and fellow students using Zoom, a video conferencing program. Your lecturer will help you with using Zoom. With your permission, your presentation may be recorded for marking purposes. Only your lecturer will have access to this video which will be stored securely.
Marking Criteria
Refer to the marking rubric on the Moodle site for more details on how marks will be assigned. Assessment re-attempt is not available for Assessment 1.

MIDWIFERY PRACTICE 2
Assessment 2
Type: Portfolio
Due date: 2355 (AEST) 4th October 2024, Week 12
Weighting: 60%
Length: Each journal entry should be approximately 300 words; however, labour and birth reflections can be longer (approximately 400 words).
Unit Coordinator: Kelly Haynes
Learning Outcomes Assessed
Assess, plan, provide, and evaluate physiological care of the woman and her baby experiencing complex factors using the latest Australian College of Midwives (ACM) National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral and digital health and emerging technologies.
Assess, plan, provide, and evaluate psychosocial care of the woman experiencing complex factors during the childbearing continuum using the latest Australian College of Midwives (ACM) National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral and digital health and emerging technologies.
Critically reflect on clinical learning and midwifery practice related to the care of the woman and her baby experiencing complex factors during the childbearing continuum.
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on your approach to provide continuity of care and the underpinning frameworks that underpin that approach. Reflective practice is a key element that contributes to the Nurses and Midwives Board of Australia’s Midwife Standards for Practice (2018). Through reflective processes, students and registered midwives can identify and explore diverse values, beliefs, learning needs, and sociocultural structures.
Instructions
To facilitate your reflective skill development, you are required to complete a reflective piece of writing for each of the three (3) 'continuity of care experience' (COCE) women you recruited in term 1 and for the further 3 women recruited in term 2 (six in total).
A reflective journal documents the development of a therapeutic midwifery relationship between midwifery students, women and their families and can encompass interpersonal aspects of the interaction. Reflective writing is a deeper cognitive process that demonstrates what has been learned about the midwifery profession, in addition to one’s development as a practicing midwife. You will continue to develop and build upon your reflective skills after the submission of your reflective portfolio in term 1 and the feedback you received. This process is designed to elevate the CoCE experience from merely ticking off appointments and completed women, to demonstrating active cognitive learning.
Reflective writing is more personal than other kinds of academic writing and is an exploration and analysis of events, not just a description of them. This involves analysing an experience, assessing what you have learned from it, what you could have done differently, realising new approaches to your care, and ultimately, how you felt about the whole experience. As a midwifery student, it identifies how different aspects of your work interconnect. It can be very useful for identifying gaps in knowledge and ethical dilemmas or situations that need further thought.
Please use the framework below to structure each reflective journal entry.
Action |
Reflection |
Description |
What is it? What happened? Why am I talking about it? |
Interpretation |
What is important and relevant? Look through your description and try to find words or phrases that require further exploration. Include the rationale for what was done or why it was done. Where there is controversy about what was done or found, provide the rationale and sources of evidence for both sides of the argument. How can it be explored and explained using contemporary theories? |
Outcome |
What have I learned from this? How will it influence my future work? |
Please note that you must use the template provided on the MDWF12006 Moodle page for each Continuity of Care Experience (COCE).
Requirements
- Each COCE woman must have their own individual journal in Word Document format, which is to be uploaded as individual files to the relevant Moodle assessment page. You will therefore submit six separate documents for this assessment.
- Each COCE woman must be de-identified within the journal.
- Ensure your name and the pseudonym for your woman at the centre of your COCE are documented on each page.
- Each journal entry in the portfolio must adhere to the template provided on the MDWF12006 Moodle page.
- When you are preparing your term submission, please enter a red line under the completed entries for this term’s marking in each journal.
- Use a conventional and legible size 12 font, such as Times New Roman, with 2.0 line spacing and 2.54cm page margins (standard pre-set margin in Microsoft Word).
- You may write in the first-person perspective.
- Use formal academic language.
- Use the seventh edition American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style. The CQUniversity Academic Learning Centre has an online APA Referencing Style Guide.
Literature and references
Use at least one reference for each journal entry. Where references are used to support your discussion, they should be contemporary references (<5 years) sourced from the CQUniversity library in this assessment to support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as government, university, or peak national bodies, for example, the Australian College of Midwives or the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Websites such as Stat Pearls, Life in the Fastlane, and Wikipedia are unsuitable for this assessment task. Lecture notes are unsuitable for this assessment task.
Resources
- You can use unit-provided materials and other credible sources (e.g. journal articles, books) to reference your argument. The quality and credibility of your sources are important.
- We recommend that you access your discipline-specific library guide: the Nursing and Midwifery Guide;
- We recommend you use EndNote to manage your citations and reference list. More information on how to use EndNote is available at the CQUniversity Library website.
- For information on academic communication please go to the Academic Learning Centre Moodle site. The Academic Communication section has many helpful resources including information for students with English as a second language.
- The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) tools, including AI-driven writing assistants and content generators, is not permitted in this assessment. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA] (2018), Midwifery Standards of Practice requires students to demonstrate essential human capacities, skills, knowledge, and integration of theory into practice, crucial for midwifery practice. Midwifery practice relies on human interaction, empathy, ethical decision-making, and effective communication—skills that cannot be adequately assessed through AI-generated content. To ensure the integrity and development of these capabilities, students must verify that any grammar or writing enhancement programs used do not incorporate AI components. Compliance with midwifery practice standards is vital for meeting AHPRA/NMBA graduate attributes and preparing for professional practice.
Submission
Submit your assessment via the relevant Moodle assessment page (six separate Word documents).

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
