(Solution) ECHO11004-Biochemistry for Cardiac Pharmacology
Description
1 Online Quiz(zes)
A sound knowledge of the biochemistry which underlies physiology and pharmacology is essential for medical imaging professionals. The purpose of this assessment task is to evaluate your understanding of the four major biochemistry topics covered in this unit: macromolecules, cell transport, metabolism and cell signaling/communication. Specifically, you are required to complete four (4) online quizzes:
- Each quiz is comprised of 20 questions.
- The style of questions will be ‘True/False’ and ‘Fill in the Blanks’.
- You will have 35 minutes to attempt each quiz.
- Only one (1) attempt is permitted per quiz.
- Your score from each quiz will be combined, and the result will contribute 40% to your final grade.
- You are required to obtain at least 50% of the available marks to be eligible to pass the unit (i.e. > 40 out of 80 questions answered correctly).
- In the absence of an approved extension, there will be no opportunity to complete a quiz after it has closed.
- The specific dates that each quiz opens and closes are outlined below:
- Quiz 1 will open at 9:00 am (AEST) on Friday 07th August 2020 (Week 4) and will remain open until 5:00 pm (AEST) Friday 14th August 2020 (Week 5). This quiz will assess the topics covered during Weeks 1 to 4.

2 Online Test
The ability to recall and apply fundamental biochemistry principles is a critical skill for individuals in the medical imaging profession. The purpose of this assessment task is to evaluate your understanding of the topics that we have covered in this unit (Weeks 1-11). Specifically, you will be required to complete one (1) Online Test.
- The test is comprised of ten (10) questions which will contain multiple sub-questions.
- The style of questions will be short response.
- Each question is worth a total of ten (10) marks. Hence, there are 100 marks available in this assessment task.
- You will have 120 minutes to complete the test (plus an additional 15 minutes perusal time).
- Only one (1) attempt is permitted for this assessment task.
- Your score from the Online Test will contribute 60% to your final grade.
- You are required to obtain at least 50% of the available marks to be eligible to pass the unit (i.e. > 50 out of 100 marks).
- The Online Test will be held after the Term 2 2020 Course Review Period.
- If you are unable to complete the Online Test on the nominated date, you will have to apply for a Deferred Assessment.
The exact time and date of the Online Test will be made available via Moodle once the University Online Examination Timetable has been finalised.
