Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed the following courses before you commence this course.
Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course.
Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.
Course Description
The course will continue to lay the foundation for further studies of more advanced or more career-specific anatomical and physiological information encountered in later years of the following programs: Medical Radiations (e.g. Medical Imaging) Exercise and Sport Science and Health and Physical Education (e.g. Kinesiology; Exercise Physiology).
In broad terms the course covers the structure and function of:
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Medical Radiations (BP148):
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Health and Physical Education (BP041):
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Exercise and Sport Science (BP296):
On successful completion of this course you should be able to:
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be involved in learning activities that include self-directed study (specifically associated with anatomy practical sessions - see below); structured theoretical and practical components employing face-face lecture and practical sessions; access to on-line resources that supplement formal sessions and also provide on-going formative assessment.
The practical program consists predominantly of the study of gross anatomy that is designed to both reinforce the theoretical component, as well as develop observational skills.
You will also be provided with Self-Directed Study (SDS) periods in the anatomy labs during which time students can revise with a tutor present (up to 4 hours per week). The anatomy museum will be available throughout the week for private study. Students are strongly advised to take advantage of both of these opportunities on a consistent basis.
Online formative quizzes will be available for review and self- assessment. Students can practice and self-assess by taking quizzes on the various broad topics covered in lectures before electing to take a test over the same material which will be used as part of the overall assessment for the course. Final practical and theory exams are also components of this course.
Students will also be progressively assessed through timed practical tests and Midsemester Tests. These should be seen as not only stimuli to study but also as very effective means of assessing progress and providing feedback.
You will have 5 hours per week allocated to formal face-to-face study (lectures and practicals).In addition, there will be “open” laboratory sessions available (SDS: self-directed-study) for revision. The estimated mean hourly study load for this subject beyond the assigned lectures and lab sessions is ~5 hours per week (including at least 2 hours of SDS laboratory work).
