ELearning
This course will use canvas as an eLearning platform and all course content will be available in MyUni and will be conveniently organised as modules that will contain:
1. Lecture notes and recordings,
2. Practical session notes, manuals and materials
3. Tutorial cases
The weekly in-class assessment will also be conducted through the MyUni eLearning platform so devices, providing access to canvas, need to be brought to each session. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Applied Human Anatomy employs a wide range of teaching and learning modes, with an emphasis on a blended learning, flipped classroom and practical approach. The course curriculum is organised by anatomical regions into four modules that will address the relevant human anatomy of:
(i) The Thorax
(ii) The Abdomen
(iii) The Pelvis
(iv) The Head & Neck
Content for each module will be delivered using pre-class and in-class activities. Pre-class activities involve online educational resources that form the basis of discussion during face-to-face in-class activities. Face-to-face sessions will involve weekly two separate but closely aligned activities (human in-situ cadaveric wet labs and model & theory based dry labs). These learning opportunities will take the form of team-based collaborative activities.
Attendance to face-to-face activities is a compulsory requirement for the course.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Please refer to MyUni for full details.
Pre-lecture activities: 12x 1 hour = 12 hours
Lectures: 12 x 1 hour = 12 hours
Preparation for Laboratory and Tutorial Sessions: 1 hour per session x 24 = 24 hours
Laboratories: 12 x 1.5 hours = 18 hours
Tutorials: 12 x 1.5 hours = 18 hours
Examination: 2 x 2 hours = 4 hours
General study = 40 hours
TOTAL = approx. 130 hoursLearning Activities Summary
Course materials are divided into 3 modules:
Module 1: Thorax
Module 2: Abdomen and Pelvis
Module 3: Head and Neck
Pre-class activities
Each week, students will be provided with pre-lecture activities / readings that will be summarised in a weekly plenary lecture. The aim of the pre-class activity is to provide orientation and identification of key factual information and concepts relevant to the region being studied to facilitate understanding and recall.
In-class activities
Compulsory in-class activities include both wet and dry practical sessions that are designed in the form of small group discovery activities to provide enhanced opportunities for team-based and peer-assisted learning. In-class activities will be supported by an expert demonstrating team consisting of clinicians and medical and higher degree students.
Anatomical wet practicals involve exposure to cadaveric material, anatomical models, surface anatomy and medical images at 6 stations, including a formative assessment station. The completion of activities at each station provides an opportunity for visual and interactive learners to integrate the predominantly theoretical knowledge from pre-class activities with that obtained via personal observations and hands on investigation of the three-dimensional arrangement of anatomical structures to promote comprehensive understanding.
Dry practicals will involve clinical case-based activities that will be conducted in small groups to promote deep understanding, appreciation and application of core content. This active learning approach will promote application and analysis of the relevant content and will provide an opportunity for tutor and peer feedback.
Post-class activities
Students will also be required to complete summative assessment in the form of weekly online quizzes for each module. This Individual Readiness Assurance Testing (RAT) will be performed using canvas quizzes to provide real-time, modular feedback that will assist individual students gauging their understanding of and reflection on course content on a week-to-week basis. The small group discovery experience activities will be followed by team-RAT to further reinforce learning. The assessment has been “custom designed” to encourage students to keep up with the material throughout the course, and provides an opportunity for continual feedback. Select questions from the online quizzes, formatted to include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, hot spots and short response type questions, will be included in the End of Semester theory exam.Specific Course Requirements

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
*Failure to attend at least 80% of the face-to-face learning activities without appropriate medical, compassionate or extenuating rationale will result in a fail grade for the course.Assessment Task Task Type Due Weighting Learning Outcome Weekly Practical Attendance Compulsory Hurdle* Weekly (in practicals) 0% LO 6 Weekly Quizzes x 8 Summative Group Task Weeks 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 & 12 (in practicals) 25% LO 1 - 6 End of Module Tests x 4 Summative Week 4, 7, 9 and 13 (in practicals) 20% LO 1 - 5 End of Semester Practical Examination Summative During Examination Period 25% LO 1 - 5 End of Semester Theory Examination Summative During Examination Period 30% LO 1 - 5 Assessment Detail
Examination (55%):
Theory Component (30%): Students will complete a written examination during the University Examination period in which they will be required to complete about 50 questions in formats similar to the assessments. The questions will assess student knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of the content delivered over the course of the semester.
Practical component (25%): Students will complete a practical examination during the University Examination period in which they will be required to explore prosections and anatomical models and complete about 50 questions similar to the format of the continuous assignments. The questions will assess student knowledge of practical (3D-recognition) aspects of the content delivered over the course of the semester.
Continuous Assignment (25%):
The 8 assignments test the ability of students to work on topic-related tasks in small groups and show understanding of the topic. Groups of students regularly discuss topic-related structure-recognition-function questions. It's about correct identification and contextualisation of content that demonstrates the ability of students to use acquired knowledge and relate it to function.
Assessment (20%):
The assessment consists of four module tests that consist of multiple-choice or short answer questions. The tests have a length of about 60 min and cover the content of the module. The question reflect the depth of knowledge expected and the style of questions provided in the exam. Question require knowledge about structure and function and the ability to recognise key elements of anatomical structures in-situ and in models.

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.
Please find details of enhancements based on previous eSELT feedback in MyUni -
