PBHL20009_2241: Assessment 2: Reflective Practice Assignment | Moodle
The second assessment task for this unit is a reflective practice assignment. This is an individual assignment of approximately 2000 words and is based on your experience and observations this term. Your essay must consist of your reflection on your evolving learning that has taken place during the course of the term. The focus of the essay is to show your deepening understanding of issues that may people and society, especially in the context of cross-cultural communities like the one we live in, and yourself as a developing practitioner. Your essay should address the following points: 1) a very brief summary of some of the major public health issues affecting your community; 2) the actual effects on groups and individuals; 3) the potential effects of this kind of situation on a cross-cultural community; and 4) what you, as a developing public health practitioner have learned that can apply to addressing this situation. You do not necessarily need academic references for this assignment but you will have to
refer to outside sources for item 2 above. It is recommended that you use the news media for this, but please make sure that
your sources relate specifically to the community you are discussing, which must be identified. For Item 3, you may refer to other
locations in Australia and the world as a comparison (in this case, you will need references to media sources), but this section
should reflect your considered opinion. In choosing sources for this assignment, make sure you refer only to reputable media (ie
newspapers, television broadcasters, radio broadcasters, etc.; it is not acceptable to use social media sources, unless they come
from reputable organizations. In other words, the personal opinion of individual members of society should not be used to
address item 2 or support item 3.
This is a reflective assignment, so a more informal writing style is acceptable. However, the reflection must not be wholly
descriptive. It must contain an assessment of the way in which your views or thinking have changed and what you have learned
about yourself as a practitioner and the community in which you are working.
While this assessment is not due until week 12 of the term, it will be beneficial to make some notes for yourself over the course
of the term that you can refer to when you write your reflective essay.
You must achieve a mark of 50% on this assignment to pass the unit.
