Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Content will be disseminated in the form of four major modules: (1) You will be introduced to the basic concepts of functional anatomy common to all regions of the musculoskeletal system, accompanied by the fundamentals in medical imaging data acquisition and interpretation. (2) Regional anatomy, including the osteology, arthrology and neural and muscular systems of the upper and lower limbs will then be presented on a comparative basis (i.e. shoulder vs. hip). In the second part of the semester, we will cover modules 3 and 4 constituting regional and functional anatomy of the trunk and the head and neck.
Teaching sessions include at least two lectures per week (Mondays 11:10am and Tuesdays 11:10am), while in some weeks an additional lecture timeslot (Tuesdays 9:10am) may be utilized for revision, Q/A or office hours or summative assessment. Lectures will be delivered using a combination of didactic and online approaches. You will also be required to attend a two-hour laboratory session each week, which presents an opportunity to develop and test your understanding using models, human cadaveric prosections, skeletal material and medical images (conventional radiographs, MSCT, MRI); scheduled for Tuesday 3:10 – 5:00pm in the Ray Last Anatomy Laboratory (Dissecting Room) and S210AB. On two occasions throughout the semester, you will be required to complete online multiple-choice tests using the Canvas learning platform. Formative assessment will also be conducted within the anatomy practical sessions using cadaveric specimens, medical images and clinical examinations.
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
As a 3 unit course, Functional Human Anatomy II will require approximately 12 hours of work per week, including lecture and practical attendance, completion of multiple-choice assessment, preparation of the group project and private study. This unit mandates an independent, self-directed learning approach - therefore it is an expectation that students come prepared to the anatomy resource sessions, having completed the relevent prereading and prelaboratory questions and activities. Since the group project is worth 15% of the overall assessment, it is expected that students will spend approximately 15-20 hours on this piece working with their peers on this multimedia presentation.Learning Activities Summary

Exam Revision II
Exam Revision Session (open-laboratory)Small Group Discovery Experience
SGDE will feature through formative group learning activities integrated in the Anatomy Resource Sessions each week and an “Anatomical Dialogue” Group project. In each laboratory session, students will be required to complete a quiz constituting spotter and problem-based learning questions as a team of eight students, and submit their consensus answers to their demonstrator. The demonstrator will guide students through the answers, encourage discussion and provide clarifications regarding of the challenging questions and concepts. Some of the laboratory sessions will have additional tasks to be completed on a worksheet in your course manual (made available on Canvas prior to the session).
Further, students will be required to work in groups of five (self-allocated) to complete a multimedia “Anatomical Dialogue” group project, which aims to explain the regional and functional anatomy of a nominated injury or medical condition of the musculoskeletal system disseminated in the modern media/sports broadcasting. Students will be required to critically evaluate anatomical dialogue used or lack thereof, in the original voice-over of the commentator/presenter explaining the potential injury; and provide alternative dialogue to better explain the injury to a layperson and medical professional, in the form of a video submission. As part of the submission, students will be required to provide a confidential peer-assessment of each group member’s contribution to this project using Canvas, for normalisation of individual grades. -
Assessment
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'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
Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning Outcome(s) being addressed Multiple choice question tests Summative 2x5% = 10% 1-9 Midsemester practical exam Summative 15% 1-9 Project (joint effort) Summative 15% 1-10 End semester practical exam Summative 25% 1-9 End of semester theory exam Summative 35% 1-9 Assessment Detail
Assessment Item No.1: Multiple Choice Online Quizzes
Weighting: 5% each (cumulative 10%) - The weighting of 5% means that these are low-stakes tests, designed to reinforce the standards of the course and to uncover students’ weakness
Group or Individual: Individual
Description: Each online quiz will comprise of 10 questions, to be completed within a 15 minute time period under the ‘Assessment’ tab on the FHA Canvas site. Students will only be allowed one attempt at this assessment piece. Specifically, each quiz will examine the following content:o MCQ 1 (16 Aug 2016) – Weeks 1-4: movements and arthology of major joints of the upper/lower limb.o MCQ 2 (12 Sept 2016) – Weeks 5-8: Upper/Lower Limb osteology, muscles, nerves, vasculature
Assessment Item No.2: Mid-Semester Practical Examination
Weighting: 15%
Group or Individual: Individual
Description: A mid-semester practical examination will be held during the allocated laboratory session in the Ray Last Anatomy Laboratory (SB02), which will cover a combination of lecture material, laboratory material and supplied online resources/readings. The format of the exam will contain approximately 20 stations, with 2-minute rotations between each; students will be required to answer short response questions using an amalgamation of cadaveric prosections, anatomical models and medical images. These questions may include identifying ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, explaining the function(s) of particular ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, labelling or drawing diagrams.
Assessment Item No.3: "Anatomical Dialogue" Group Project
Group or Individual: Group (Groups of 5-6)
Weighting: 15% [10% content accuracy; 5% storyboard/quality]
NOTE: 2.5% of the total grade will consider the ‘creativity’ and ‘originality’ of the presentation;
2.5% of the total grade will also be awarded for video quality i.e. filming/audio/formatting
General Objective: Demonstrate higher processing skills in the areas of synthesis and evaluation through an analysis of how anatomy is used and represented in our personal lives and future profession.
Description: Since sporting injuries are frequently discussed in modern media broadcasting and sports coverage, in groups students will be required to source video footage relating to an injury or medical condition relating to the musculoskeletal system. Using this footage students are required to (a) reflect and critique the anatomical dialogue used or lack thereof, in the original voice-over of the commentator/ presenter explaining the potential injury (i.e.comment on the accuracy, intended target audience, depth of the explanation); and (b) provide alternative dialogue to better explain the injury to a layperson with no anatomical training. In the second part of this project, students are required to provide an advanced overview of the regional anatomy i.e. muscle/nerve innervation/ vasculature likely to be affected with the injury and discuss the functional implications, targeted at medical professionals or anatomists.
Part B: As part of their submission, students will be required to provide a confidential peer-assessment of each group member’s contribution to this project using Canvas. Specifically, you will be required to rate each member’s contribution on a scale of 0 – 5 for each of three to six criteria; scores will be normalized to give a final group contribution weighting between 0-1, which will then be multiplied by the product/overall mark of the group.
NOTE: We encourage creativity and originality with this task! Note that the marking criteria will include the ‘use of creative writing style’ so it is important that you write in a manner that makes your story interesting to read/watch/listen to. More details on this assessment can be found under the assessment tab in Canvas.

Student Feedback
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ 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 ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ 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.
