This unit focuses on the role of planning and evaluation in public health. Students will examine various frameworks, theories and methods in order to develop a rationalised and contextualised public health program plan. The strengths and weaknesses of existing public health programs will be critically appraised so that students can co-create best practice planning and evaluation approaches designed to provide sustainable solutions for diverse health issues. This unit will enable students to develop or extend programs that may constitute their existing work in the industry or to develop new opportunities and collaborations that serve and sustain public health efforts in particular settings.

| Semester 2 | 13 x 3 hour seminar | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
Work done in a remote or online location - students undertake an activity in collaboration or consultation with an industry partner but do not spend any time or only a very small amount of time (e.g. 1-2 short visits) in an actual workplace.
The on-campus seminars are highly interactive and guide students through the content. Students have the opportunity to research concepts, present ideas orally, discuss situations in groups and to develop critical perspectives from written sources. Online students will access eLearning materials via Blackboard. Students are expected to login and participate in collaborative discussion activities during specific weeks and are encouraged to think critically to evaluate problems, analyse literature and to develop critical perspectives from written sources.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
