The primary communication channel is via MyUni and University e-mail. Check MyUni regularly before each class. All documentation including past exam papers, weekly dissection tasks and lecture notes will be placed on MyUni:

Not reading one's University-provided e-mail or MyUni announcements will not be a valid reason for missing important deadlines etc.

Lectures are supported by dissection program and formative assessments tasks/questions related to the week's activities. Practical dissection classes are hands-on experience of discovery and it is expected that everyone will contribute. Lectures are related to the weekly dissection learning class.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

As a 3-unit course, Applied Anatomy of the Cranial Nerves will require approximately 12 hours of work per week, including lecture and practical dissections attendance.

Week	Topic	Lecture
Week 1	Dissection: Introduction and allocation of groups, safety rules, Dissection methods, Dissection of superficial branches of the cranial nerves in the face and scalp	Introduction, skull, superficial structures of the face
Week 2	Dissection: Continue the dissection of superficial branches of the cranial nerves in the face and scalp	Facial muscles, nerves and vessels of the face
Week 3	Dissection: Parotid region	Partoid region
Week 4	Dissection: Temporal region, mandibular division of V, muscles of mastication, TMJ	Temporal region, mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
Week 5	Dissection: Interior of the skull, meninges and removal of the brain	Cranial cavity 1
Week 6	Dissection: Continue interior of the skull, meninges and removal of the brain	Cranial cavity 2
Week 7	Dissection: Orbit and related cranial nerves	Orbit 1
Week 8	Dissection: Orbit and related cranial nerves	Orbit 2
Week 9	Dissection: Mid-Semester Spotter Test	Cavernous sinus and revision
Week 10	Dissection: Dissection of the oral region	Cranial nerves: facial and glossopharyngeal
Week 11	Dissection: Revision of practical dissections	Cranial nerves: hypoglossal and lingual. Maxillary division V.
Week 12	Dissection: Revision of practical dissections	Overview
Week 13	No teaching	No teaching

Attendance in lectures and dissections is compulsory to pass the course. In order to pass Applied Anatomy of the cranial Nerves, students are required to achieve a grade of at least 50% for the course. If you are unable to attend any of the lectures or practical classes you are required to provide a valid reason.

Policy on return of examination papers
The Discipline of Anatomy and Pathology does not return examination papers to students. However, students who fail the examination may have an opportunity to review their paper with a member of the academic staff at the beginning of the following semester.

Although this is a year 2 course it includes by nature of dissection a discovery experience. Students work in small groups of 4 in the dissection tasks, and by comparing their caver findings to the findings of other groups, they acquire knowledge of anatomical variations. Each cadaver is unique in the finer anatomical structures, the effects of live style, profession, ageing, and previous surgical and medical history.

Assessment Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
Clinical Scenarios, study images, scans, Questions are included in the hand outs of each practical dissection class	Formative	0%	1-8
Written examination	Summative	50%	1-8
Practical spotter examination	Summative	20%	1-8
Practical spotter test	Summative	20%	1-8

Attendance in lectures and dissections is compulsory to pass the course. In order to pass AACNs, students are required to achieve a grade of at least 50% for the course. If you are unable to attend any of the lectures or practical classes you are required to provided a valid reason.

Assessment comprises several parts:

Formative assessments

Formative assessments e-Learning will be provided weekly online in the form of clinical scenarios, quizzes, images, diagrams etc. All students should attempt the formative assessment, time will be allocated in lectures for questions/answers.

Summative assessments

All tests and exams will be conducted by full-time academic staff

Assessment 1--Written Examination (individual assessment)

Supplementary Examinations

On Medical or Compassionate Grounds
To request a supplementary examination on Medical or Compassionate grounds, appropriate forms should be obtained from the appropriate web site, completed and submitted in the appropriate time frame. Students are advised to refer to the university’s website and policy on supplementary examinations. The academic staff will make the final decision regarding the offer of a supplementary examination. Sitting a supplementary examination offered on this basis will result in a formal mark being awarded, i.e. pass, credit or distinction.

On Academic Grounds
Students cannot request a supplementary examination on academic grounds. Supplementary examinations will be offered to students on academic grounds (normally a final grade of between 45% and 49%). Those sitting supplementary examinations on academic grounds will be required to achieve a grade of at least 50% in the supplementary examination to pass the course. Successful completion of supplementary examinations offered on this basis can only result in a final mark for the course of 50%.

Supplementary examinations are only held during the official university supplementary examination period and students are expected to be available to sit supplementary examinations at this time. Students who are offered a supplementary examination, but who fail to sit on the set date and time will be deemed to have failed AACNs. Pre-booked vacation, overseas travel or family celebrations are unacceptable reasons to be unavailable for the supplementary examination. Those who cannot sit the supplementary examination on the basis of extraordinary medical or compassionate grounds may be offered the opportunity to sit another examination at the time of the next available examination of AACNs (usually Semester II of the following year). A withheld result will be entered on the student academic record until such examination is sat. Failure to sit the next available exam will result in a grade of fail being awarded.
