Overview
This unit will develop the knowledge of human biology, including the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, and the role of the respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems. There will also be a focus on human movement and on the effects of use, disuse and ageing on the human body.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Self-reflection and student feedback from unit evaluations.
Tutorial video recordings.
Record the tutorials and make the videos available on Moodle. This will help all students learn the tutorial content better and will improve equity for the external students as this content is not covered in the residential school.
Feedback from Self-reflection and student feedback from unit evaluations.
Practical video recordings.
Make additional video recordings of the practical activities so that they cover all practical material.
- Identify anatomical structures of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems for the head and upper quadrant.
- Explain the role of the respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems in body maintenance and physiological regulation.
- Explain normal function of human movement.
- Analyse how human body responds to use and disuse across the lifespan.

4 Practical Assessment
This is a practical assessment where students will identify and describe anatomical structures on anatomical models, bones and real plastinated human bodies. The practical assessment is worth 55% of your overall mark for the unit. You are required to achieve a score of 49.5% or greater on the practical assessment to pass the unit. It is approximately 1 hour in duration. It consists of approximately 20 stations set up around the room, each with one specimen. At each station will be a station identifier that lists approximately 4 very brief questions. After a set period of time, you will rotate to the next station and repeat this until you have been at all stations. There will be 1 student at each station at a time. You will be given an answer sheet on which to write your answers. The practical assessment is closed book so the only things you will be allowed to have on you are pens (blue or black ink only), your answer sheet and ID (e.g., driver's license). Structures will be tagged using coloured chalk or stickers labeled A, B, C, D, etc. Questions will cover muscles, bones, joints, nerves, blood vessels, viscera and supporting structures in the upper limb, trunk, neck and head. Students are responsible for all content covered in class for the entire term that is visible on the specimens that we have, with particular emphasis placed on the practical activities.
All students take the practical assessment in person in Week 12 in either Rockhampton, Bundaberg or Sydney. The exact date and time differs for each campus and will be posted on Moodle.
Within 2 weeks of assessment date
Students must identify and describe anatomical structures on anatomical models, bones and real plastinated human bodies. The practical assessment will not have questions on histology, physiology or medical imaging. A percentage grading will be used. Partial credit will be awarded where appropriate. Minor spelling errors are permitted as long as they do not change the meaning of the word.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
