ANAT SC 2200 - Functional Human Anatomy II

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2015

Students will be introduced to the basic principles of gross anatomy and will study in detail the functional anatomy of the human musculoskeletal system. Teaching sessions will include lectures and practicals, the latter using prosected human material. In addition, students will be required to complete a project. The content will include detailed information on the anatomy of the upper and lower limbs, vertebral column, and head/neck with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system as well as relevant parts of the nervous system. In addition, students will study the more advanced functional aspects of joint anatomy.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
    Multiple choice question tests Summative 3x5% = 15% 1-9
    Midsemester practical exam Summative 15% 1-9
    Project (joint effort) Summative 15% 1-10
    End semester practical exam Summative 20% 1-9
    Theory exam Summative 35% 1-9
    Assessment Detail
    Multiple choice tests
    Three tests are held during the semester after each block of teaching. The weighting of 5% means that these are low-stakes tests, designed to reinforce the standards of the course and to uncover students’ weakness

    Practical exams
    One during the semester and one at the end of semester, students are required to identify structures and answer a further question relating to the functional significance of that structure

    Project
    Students are required to read an anatomy related literature review, and then abstract the functionally relevant details into a simple model, explaining the mechanism of a functional problem with that joint, segment etc.

    Theory exam
    A major assessment, where students are required to answer short-answer questions from the classes over the whole semester
    Submission
    The project component of this course is completed with the submission of a PowerPoint presentation that is submitted four weeks after commencement. Students should be able to construct a meaningful presentation in 10 slides, subject to them being relevant and informative.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit
    D 75-84 Distinction
    HD 85-100 High Distinction
    CN   Continuing
    NFE   No Formal Examination
    RP   Result Pending

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

    Students may request remarking of any assessment item.

    Replacement exams are offered subject to the student applying on medical and/or compassionate grounds according to the University’s policies.

    Academic replacement exams are offered if the student receives a final mark between 45 and 49%.
  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
