Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy. More information on the timing and type of feedback that will be provided for each assessment will be available from the module leader. <a href='https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations'>https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations</a>

This module will support the development of all the graduate attributes. Your module leader will provide you with information about how your learning, teaching and assessment activities support your development of these attributes. The graduate attributes are: - Always learning - Engaged in the world - Technical and digital - Connected Professional - Creating Impact

You will learn primarily through face-to-face learning and teaching strategies. The variety of methods used will develop your current strengths and preferred learning styles, but will also help you to acquire further educational strategies to meet the required outcomes of the module and allow you to develop as a professional. 
 
Lectures – The focus will be on helping you to feel confident in developing your understanding of complex knowledge required for you to perform image interpretation during your clinical placement and point you to significant areas for further study to deepen your understanding. 
 
Simulated Practice (SimPrac) – These sessions provide you with a formative learning opportunity. You will be given the opportunity to interpret radiographic x-ray images, enabling you to consolidate material taught in the lectures, facilitate the acquisition of manual and team skills and provide opportunities for you to use conceptual knowledge and cognitive processes.  
 
Guided Independent Study – During the module you will have time allocated to undertake set activities individually or in study groups. These activities may form part of the formative assessment strategy to help you to complete the summative module assessment or may be set tasks which you should complete prior to attendance at a taught session. In addition, there are self-directed study hours allocated for you to pursue your own independent lines of inquiry.   
  
Self-Directed Learning – You may also use some of the additional study time to explore areas of interest, practise skills and prepare for assessments. Whilst this time counts towards the theoretical hours for the module, it will be up to you to decide exactly how you spend this time and which areas of learning you wish to pursue; this will encourage you to foster an independent and autonomous attitude towards your studies.

This module’s contact hours may be delivered using a number of different approaches, including in-person sessions (i.e. face to face on campus), online synchronous sessions; online asynchronous guided activities (e.g. recorded lectures and/or other online resources, reading materials, quizzes, exercises and forum contributions). In addition to these teaching delivery approaches, you will undertake your own independent study, which may involve wider reading, independent research, skill practice and preparation for assessment. Please see teaching pattern table below for further details of teaching hours for this module.

Image Interpretation

Evaluate and interpret radiographic images using a systematic approach. 

Skills

Show consideration and recognise the importance of ethical practice and adherence to professional and regulatory codes when producing informed image comments. 

Values and attitudes

Apply knowledge to appraise normal and abnormal appearances on radiographic images in order to inform the service user’s ongoing management pathway. 

Knowledge

Synthesise information from a range of sources to recognise and evaluate common pathologies to produce an informed comment report. 

Critically evaluate knowledge of radiographic appearance and service user presentation symptoms to inform decision making with regard to onward referral. 

Critically evaluate and appraise the radiographic appearances of images of the appendicular and axial skeleton using appropriate professional terminology.
