In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
This unit will build on knowledge and skills gained in OCCT11002 (Introduction to Occupational Therapy Theory and Practice) through exploration of occupational therapy assessment and intervention processes involving activity and occupation as core concepts. You will become familiar with a range of common meaningful occupations and learn how to undertake an occupational therapy activity analysis. Concepts of participation limitations at the person level will be introduced. You will engage in a variety of workshop activities that link key theoretical concepts to occupational therapy practice contexts for activity analysis. You will explore ways of grading and adapting activities to enable client participation.

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
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 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 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.

It is recommended that the unit content and structure remain the same for the unit offering in T2, 2024.
- Use relevant terminology to define and classify concepts related to human performance in activity and occupation
- Choose suitable methods for grading common meaningful occupations
- Reflect on personal participation in meaningful occupations to integrate theoretical and practical knowledge
- Use occupational therapy processes for comprehensive activity analysis.
