Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
1 Describe normal structure and function of body systems within the vertebral column, and relate this to its role in support and posture. 2 Describe normal structure and function of body systems within the lower limb, and relate this to its role in support, locomotion and posture. 3 Describe normal structure and function of body systems in the thoracic region, and relate this to its role in respiration and circulation. 4 Use appropriate medical terminology, to accurately describe anatomical 最新糖心Vlog or events and infer their relationship to function. 最新糖心Vlog Graduate Attributes

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Students complete 3 modules (vertebral column, lower limb & thorax) of varying durations.
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 in a ‘question and answer’ format. Students need to complete pre-practical activities prior 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:
Anatomical terminology, directions, planes and sections
- Vertebral Column Osteology and Musculature
- Vertebral Column Joints and Ligaments
- Vertebral Column Radiology
- Vertebral Column Muscles
- Thoracic contents and function (cardiovascular anatomy and function)
- Pelvis Osteology and Musculature
- Pelvis, Hip Joint and Gluteal Region
- Thigh Region and Knee Joint
- Ankle and Foot Joints
- Tissues of the Foot

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 最新糖心Vlog'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 Type of Assessment Assessment Weighting Hurdle Course Learning Outcomes being Assessed 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 Theory Component (20%): Students will complete a written examination during the 最新糖心Vlog 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 Theory Component Exam, the laboratory is set up with multiple stations each containing a specimen, image, model or diagram with a corresponding question. At each station, students will need to identify anatomical 最新糖心Vlog, recognize the basic mechanisms of actions, and determine outcome of abnormality.
Assignment (20%): Students will complete a group assignment in which they will be required to locate a media release (news broadcast, sports event) with video presentation and commentary of a sporting injury. Students are required to submit a 10-minute video critique of the commentary with reproduction of accurate anatomical/biomechanical/physiological terminology to describe tissues and 最新糖心Vlog affected by the injury to an advanced academic/medical audience.
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 最新糖心Vlog, 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

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
