Brief Handbook Description: | This unit of study examines the detailed gross anatomical structure and surface anatomy of the lower limb, trunk and head and neck. Included are the anatomical analyses of functional activities which involve the lower limb, back and neck. Students will also look at the anatomical basis of chewing, swallowing and communication. Material will be presented in lectures, practical sessions and online. Students will also be expected to undertake some independent learning activities. This unit includes laboratory classes in which human cadavers are studied; attendance at such classes is strongly encouraged. |

Assessment Description: |
mid semester practical exam (30%) end semester practical exam (30%) end semester exam (40%) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Types of assessment There are 3 assessments in BIOS1169: 2 identification (ID) or practical exams: one in Week 8 and the other in Week 15 or 16 plus 1 theory paper in Week 15 or 16. Explanation of assessment The ID exams comprise 50 minutes of exam time plus 20-25 minutes of administration time. Your mark for each ID exam will be out of 30%. The theory paper will be of 2 hours duration plus 10 minutes of reading time. Your mark for the theory exam will be out of 40%. In 2012, the ID exams will examine all content covered in Module 1 in Weeks 1-7 or Module 2 in Weeks 7-13 (Week 15 or 16 exam). Both ID exams will test your identification ability as well as some basic theory. The end-semester theory exam will examine all content covered in Modules 1 & 2 ie. the whole semester`s content. It will include questions testing the more difficult functional concepts relating to musculoskeletal anatomy. All 3 FMB exams are in the multiple-choice format. |

Assessment Feedback: | Feedback on Mid-Semester exam (MSE) results You will receive a mark out of 30% for your MSE approximately eleven (11) working days after your examination. Note that the focus of the MSE is on examining a student`s ability to identify structures and on his/her understanding of more basic information about these structures. The MSE does not test the more difficult (functionally-related) content (which is tested in the theory exam in Week 15 or 16). For this reason, students who score less than 18 out of 30 for the MSE (= less than 60/100% for the exam) will be considered to be at increased risk of failing BIOS1169. Such students should consult their tutor for additional guidance and should also closely follow any recommendations on online discussion boards for improving FMB results. Students who achieved less than 57% in BIOS1168 FMA, coupled with less than 18 out of 30 for the MSE in FMB, are strongly advised to consult with the Unit of Study Coordinator. Some FMB students may receive an email request to consult with the Unit Coordinator following release of the MSE exam results. Assessment policy and procedures Academic honesty Deliberate breaches of academic honesty constitute academic misconduct. These breaches include: ─ Plagiarism ─ Fabrication of data ─ Recycling previously submitted material ─ Engaging someone else to complete an assessment on one’s behalf ─ Misconduct during supervised assessments The penalties for academic misconduct may include: ─ A mark of zero on the assessment ─ A fail grade in the Unit of Study ─ Additional assessment (including an unseen exam) ─ Reference of the matter to the University Registrar Issues concerning breaches of academic honesty may be dealt with either through the process of determining academic results in a Unit of Study, or, in the most serious cases, by invocation of misconduct procedures. Students should consult the active link ‘Assessment Policies’ towards the end of the window ‘Information for Students’ at: http://sydney.edu.au/current_students/student_administration/examinations/students.shtml |
