Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
1 Describe and define the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the upper limb, and relate this to the upper limb function. 2 Describe and discuss the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the head and neck, and relate this to its role in housing visceral structures, special sense organs and the central nervous system. 3 Describe normal structure and function of the central nervous system, and discuss its role in sensation and movement. 4 Use appropriate medical terminology, to accurately describe anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
A standard week consists of completion of online content as the preliminary activity prior to an interactive lecture, a 2-hour practical session, typically using prosected cadavers and other anatomical materials and a 2-hour workshop class where the weekly topics are discussed and assignment-related work is presented. Students need to complete pre-practical activities before as a condition of entry to the weekly practical classes to ensure adequate preparation using the on-line content.
The following content will be covered in this course:- Bones, Joints, Ligaments and Muscles of the Shoulder
- Elbow, Forearm, Wrist and Hands
- Innervation, Blood Supply and Lymphatics Upper Limb
- The Skull, Neck Muscles and Joints
- Infra- and Suprahyoid Muscles, Pharynx and Larynx
- Facial muscles, Facial nerve, Blood Supply of the Head
- Muscles of Mastication, TMJ, Trigeminal nerve
- Brain, Spinal Cord and Neural Ascending Pathways, Sensory Perception and Pain
- Brain Stem, Visual and Auditory System
- Vestibular Pathways and Balance
- Motor Control Concepts, Programs and Descending Pathways

Specific Course Requirements
Students are required to provide their own laboratory coat when in any cadaver-based teaching laboratory. Students must also wear closed-toe shoes in cadaver-based teaching laboratories.
Students have to follow the Code of Conduct related to teaching in the Ray Last Laboratory area.
Students are required to have electronic resources such as a lab-top, tablet to participate in online teaching. -
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Hurdle Requirement
(Yes or No)Learning Outcome Examination Summative 40% No 1, 2, 3, 4 Continuous Assessment Summative 40% No 1, 2, 3, 4 Assignment Summative 20% No 1, 2, 3 Assessment Detail
Examination (40%):
Written Component (20%): Students will complete a written examination during the University Examination period in which they will be required to complete questions in varying formats that will assess student knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of the content delivered over the course of the semester.
Practical Component (20%): Held 1-2 days after the Written Component Assessment, the students will complete a structure recognition test consisting of multiple stations each containing a specimen, image, model or diagram with a corresponding question. At each station, students will need to identify anatomical structures, identify basic mechanisms of actions, and determine outcome of abnormality.
Assignment (20%): Students will complete a group assignment in which they will be required to research and describe illnesses and injuries related to upper limb, head and neck. Students are required to submit a 5-10-minute video that demonstrates accurate anatomical/biomechanical/physiological terminology, accurate description of movements and description of anatomical relationships to describe tissues and structures affected by the illness or injury.
Continuous Assessment (40%):
Practical Component (20%): Held every 2-3 weeks, the students will complete a structure recognition test consisting of multiple stations each containing a specimen, image, model or diagram with a corresponding question. At each station, students will need to identify anatomical structures, identify basic mechanisms of actions. Grades will be accumulated across each of the practical assessments.
Online Module Review (20%): Held at the end of each module, the online module review covers both theoretical and practical aspects of the content delivered in each module. Question format includes fill in the blank, multiple choice, matching, and short answer.Submission
Detailed information on assessment task submission can be found in the MyUni website for this course.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.

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.

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.
