1 Course outline Code: HLT100 Title: Anatomy and Physiology Faculty of: Science, Health, Education and Engineering Teaching Session: Semester 2 Year: 2017 Course Coordinator: Ann Framp aframp@usc.edu.au Tel: Course Moderator: Dr Julie Hanson 1. What is this course about? 1.1 Course description Anatomy and Physiology introduces you to the normal functioning of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the normal structure and function in order for you to develop an understanding of the integrative nature of physiological systems. You will review the importance of the underlying mechanisms that regulate and control the activity of human physiological systems. This course provides you with the basis for further study in human pathophysiology. 1.2 Course content 1. Human Organisation 2. Support, Movement &Protection 3. Integration & Coordination 4. Maintenance of the Body 5. Reproduction 2. Unit value 12 units Version Semester ) Recfind File Number:F16379

2 Page 2 3. How does this course contribute to my learning? On successful completion of this course you should be able to: Explain and describe the key processes and functions that control and regulate the normal activity of the human body. Identify and explain the specific anatomical structures of the human body, and relate these structures to their specific functions. Explain how systems interact to maintain homeostasis You will be assessed on the learning outcome in task/s: Task 1 : Quiz Task 2: Poster presentation Task 3 : Exam Task 1: Quiz Task 2: Poster presentation Task 3 : Exam Task 1 : Quiz Task 2: Poster presentation Task 3 : Exam Completing these tasks successfully will contribute to you becoming: Knowledgeable.

Product: 4 Quizzes Format: The quizzes will include multiple choice questions Criteria The quizzes will assess your knowledge of the content/concepts related to the systems in weeks 1-13 of the semester. Further information about the online quiz assessments will be posted on the Blackboard course site. Generic skill assessed Skill assessment level Communication Problem solving Assessment Task 2: Poster Presentation Goal: Product: Format: The goal of this assessment is to prepare an educational poster to explain the anatomy and physiology around a selected clinical scenario An electronic poster presentation Individual/group submission Criteria The poster presentation will be assessed on the following criteria: Ability to explain the specific anatomical structures of the human body, and relate these structures to their specific physiological functions related to the scenario Ability to explain how control and regulation of the human body is achieved by interactions between two body systems relevant to the scenario. Ability to summarise key knowledge required by a person to understand their clinical condition. Adherence to conventions of academic writing, presentation and in a poster format Generic skill assessed Skill assessment level Problem solving Information literacy Communication

You are strongly recommended to log onto the course site on a regular basis. All course announcements, course changes, posting of course materials and grades (via My Interim Results) will be accessed through Blackboard. It is your responsibility to ensure they have adequate internet access (either off campus or oncampus) in order to access Blackboard regularly and to complete required assessment tasks. Safe Assign In order to minimise incidents of plagiarism and collusion, this course may require that some of its assessment tasks are submitted electronically via Safe Assign. This software allows for text comparisons to be made between the students submitted assessment item and all other work that Safe Assign has access to. If required, details of how to submit via Safe Assign will be provided on the Blackboard site of the course. 5.4 Submission penalties Late submission of assessment tasks will be penalised at the following maximum rate: 5% (of the assessment task s identified value) per day for the first two days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. 10% (of the assessment task s identified value) for the third day 20% (of the assessment task s identified value) for the fourth day and subsequent days up to and including seven days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. A result of zero is awarded for an assessment task submitted after seven days from the date identified as the due date for the assessment task. Weekdays and weekends are included in the calculation of days late. To request an extension you must contact your course coordinator to negotiate an outcome.
