HLTH SC 1403 - Biosciences for Human Health B

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

In this course, students are introduced to the study of anatomy. An overview of anatomical terminology, basic tissue types and a variety of techniques used to visualize the human body will be given followed by a more detailed study of the anatomy ofthe musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Anatomical principles and terminology will be applied to relevant body systems and the concept of integrated function of multiple systems in one body region will be introduced through the study of the trunk. Students will be taught via a blended on-line and face-to-face approach.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The approach to learning and teaching involves students’ progression through three modules across the course. Content will be delivered in topic blocks over the duration of the semester. The course is designed with blended learning opportunities, allowing students to learn and apply their knowledge in a variety of platforms and settings, encouraging engagement on- and off-campus. Students will be required to engage in online activities available on My Uni prior to their weekly workshops.
    Workload

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

    Seminar: 12 x 2 hours = 24 hours

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    The assessment for Biosciences for Human Health B consists of:

    Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome
    Examination Summative 40% 1, 2, 3, 4
    Assignment Summative 20% 1, 2, 3, 4
    Continuous Assessment  Summative 40% 1, 2, 3, 4
    Detailed information, including due dates, can be found in the MyUni wesbite for this course.
    Assessment Detail
    Examination (40%)
    Students will complete a written exam, during the University examination period. In this assessment, students will be required to complete a variety of questions to demonstrate and apply knowledge of human anatomy, including interpretation of scientific and/or clinical data [not pathological] relating to the structures of the human body.

    Assignment (20%)
    Students will complete an assignment related to a specific area of the course. The assignment may take a variety of forms including, but not limited to, an essay, reflective piece (written, video, multimedia), case study or literature review. Details and feedback will be provided via MyUni.

    Continuous Assessment: (40%)
    Continuous assessment tasks will occur frequently throughout the course. Assessment tasks may include, group tasks, oral presentations, in class quizzes, online tests, short reflective pieces of writing, e-portfolios or short answer questions. Details and feedback will be provided regularly throughout the semester and following completion of the assessment task(s).

    Submission

    Assessments are submitted via MyUni by the assignment deadline. All assessment submissions must be submitted by the due date to avoid late penalties. Assessment tasks received after the deadline (where no extension has been granted) will be penalised as follows:

    5% of total available points will be penalised per day (24-hour period), and an automatic zero mark will be applied after 7 days. For example, if an assessment is submitted 3 days late, 15 points will be deducted from the grade. For assessment graded at 50%, this would end up as 35%.

    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.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
