What is this course about? 1.1 Course description Human Anatomy LFS122 examines the human body from its cellular organisation in the tissues then organs, finally terminating in the organ systems that form the human structure. This course emphasises gross human anatomy, body structures that can be examined by the human eye. A systematic anatomical approach will be undertaken during the delivery. This course will provide students with the fundamental anatomical knowledge required to pursue a career in either allied health, sports science or medical fields. Human Anatomy is a Gross Human Anatomy course only. 1.2 Course topics Anatomical Systems and Topics covered include: - Anatomical terminology - Integumentary - Skeletal - Muscular - Nervous - Respiratory - Lymphatic - Endocrine - Cardiovascular - Digestive - Urinary - Reproductive 2. Course level 100 level 3. Unit value 12 units Session 8 2017 Recfind File Number: F14921

During your allocated practical session During your allocated practical session Central examination period Assessment Task 1: Structured Laboratory Practical Examination Mid-semester 38% Goal: Product: Format: To provide the opportunity to demonstrate your anatomical knowledge related to practical material introduced during practical classes 1 to 7 by referring to anatomical (model) specimens and appropriate anatomical diagrams. Structured Laboratory Practical Examination Mid-semester A conventional individual Anatomy station practical examination worth 38%. The examination structure will involve 44 individual stations, divided into 37 question and 7 rest stations. The stations will have 2 questions, worth one mark each. The rest stations are positioned evenly throughout the 37 question stations. This is a timed examination with 1 minute and 30 seconds allocated to each station. You will move through the stations in consecutive order from the initial station you started from. Once you have moved from a station you are not permitted to return to that station and look at the model for a second time. At no stage during the examination are you allowed to touch or move a model. Criteria: Correctly identifying anatomical structures introduced during practical classes 1 to 7. A correct answer will be determined when the appropriate anatomical terminology is used to define the chosen structure or answering the question related to the identified structure. A part mark will be awarded if a portion of the answer is correct. Generic skill assessed Communication Problem solving Skill assessment level

The rest stations are positioned evenly throughout the 37 question stations. This is a timed examination with 1 minute and 30 seconds allocated to each station. You will move through the stations in consecutive order from the initial station you started from. Once you have moved from a station you are not permitted to return to that station and look at the model for a second time. At no stage during the examination are you allowed to touch or move a model. Criteria: Correctly identifying anatomical structures introduced during practical sessions 9 to 12. A correct answer will be determined when the appropriate anatomical terminology is used to define the chosen structure or answering the question related to the identified structure. A part mark will be awarded if a portion of the answer is correct. Generic skill assessed Communication Problem Solving Assessment Task 3: Examination 40% Skill assessment level Goal: To provide the opportunity to demonstrate the depth of your knowledge and understanding related to the theoretical constructs obtained during Human Anatomy. Product: Examination Format: It will be a comprehensive examination consisting of 120 multiple choice and true / false questions. The duration of the examination is 2 hours (plus reading time). The examination will be drawn from pools of MCQ, T/F questions located within the LFS122 Human Anatomy lecture slide series and on the associated learning activities outlined on Blackboard. Criteria: You will be assessed on your ability to: 1. Correctly determine the relationships between anatomical structures and their theoretical functions. 2. Correctly determine the relationships between two or more anatomical structures within the human body as a whole. 3. Understand and appropriately apply the introduced anatomical terminology.

Page 5 6.3 Additional assessment requirements Plagiarism In order to minimise incidents of plagiarism and collusion, this course may require that some of its assessment tasks, when submitted to Blackboard, are electronically checked through SafeAssign. This software allows for text comparisons to be made between your submitted assessment item and all other work that SafeAssign has access to. Eligibility for Supplementary Assessment Your eligibility for supplementary assessment in a course is dependent of the following conditions applying: a) The final mark is in the percentage range 47% to 49.4% b) The course is graded using the Standard Grading scale c) You have not failed an assessment task in the course due to academic misconduct 6.4 Submission penalties Late submission of assessment tasks will be penalised at the following maximum rate: 5% (of the assessment task s identified value) per day for the first two days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. 10% (of the assessment task s identified value) for the third day 20% (of the assessment task s identified value) for the fourth day and subsequent days up to and including seven days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. A result of zero is awarded for an assessment task submitted after seven days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. Weekdays and weekends are included in the calculation of days late. To request an extension you must contact your course coordinator to negotiate an outcome. 7.

Risk management Risk assessments have been performed for all laboratory classes and a low level of health and safety risk exists. Some risks concerns may include equipment, instruments, and tools; as well as manual handling items within the laboratory. You will complete a Lab induction specific to the Anatomy Laboratory before or during your first laboratory session to ensure you are fully aware of any health and safety risks. It is your responsibility as a student to review course material, search online, discuss with lecturers and peers, and understand the health and safety risks associated with your specific course of study. It is also your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the University s general health and safety principles by reviewing the online Health Safety and Wellbeing training module for students, and following the instructions of the University staff. 10.
