Critical Review of Health Promotion Theory and Practice HMG7200

Assessment guidelines

As part of your postgraduate studies, it is critical for you to adhere to word count guidelines. These guidelines ensure that you are meeting the requirements of the assessment for successful completion of your unit.

Word count

Postgraduate students can gain unfair advantage through submitting written pieces that are longer than specified in the assessment instruction/criteria.

The VU Online convention in relation towordlimit is that the following arenotincludedin thewordcount:

figures;reference list;bibliography; andappendices.

Tables with text are counted in the word count.

Penalty in relation to word count

Awordcountthat is within +10% of the set length (wordlimit) is acceptable. Awordcountthat is over this 10% will be penalized through a reduction of 10% of the total mark available for the assessment. On all student work submitted, students will be required to indicate theirword count, with the exception ofword countequivalents on certain tasks (e.g. presentation PowerPoints).

Due date: End of Week 1 (11.59pm Sunday)

Important note:If you would like information on assessment and word count guidelines, visitAssessment guidelines.

Health promotion evolved from many disciplines and actions with the common focus of improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities, thus the concepts and theories which underpin health promotion are many and varied. In this assessment you are required to clearly identify one theory, framework or concept introduced in Week 1 and present an evidence-based critique of why the theory, framework or concept is relevant to the practice of health promotion for a community. To further support the relevance of the theory, framework or concept, you must provide an example of this in practice for a current health promotion locally, nationally or globally.

This assessment commences the first phase from the program planning and evaluation cycle, remembering that each stage of the cycle should involve some form of evaluation which includes analysing approaches in practice for the development of effective health promotion interventions (Figure 1).
