Overview
This unit builds on the anatomy taught in Human Body Systems 1 and 2, as well as Neuromusculoskeletal Anatomy 1. You will further develop your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, which will include studies in gross anatomy, embryology and histology, clinical and living anatomy. You will integrate this, where appropriate, with other basic sciences. The focus for this unit is neuroanatomy and the anatomy of the head and neck region.

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 Student
Lectures are ideally completed, recorded the week before the relevant Practical
In future terms the Lectures will be staggered in a way that Material covered in the Practical is taught during Lecture during the previous week. (during 2017, Lecture material relevant to the Prac Material was taught in the same week)
Feedback from Student
Great moodle page, easy and stress-free to navigate - a bonus around exam period!
Continue to present uncomplicated information to the students in any communication including that which is provided for the student in Moodle.
Feedback from Student
"- Weekly slides and content was very well organised - The slides were very easy to follow and easy to navigate through to find specific content - Very quick response to any questions - Exam covered the content we learnt with no surprises"
The Unit Coordinator will continue to promptly serve the students needs and concerns and communicate regularly, precisely and relevantly.
Feedback from Student
The tutors in the weekly practical sessions were very helpful in my studies throughout this term. Also Dean's prompt response on my queries were supportive.
The Unit Coordinator is committed to employing experienced, knowledgeable and helpful staff. The tutors are crucial as they are the student's face to face contact 'on the ground' so to speak.
Feedback from Studnet
The lectures were a bit boring, I suppose anatomy is a hard subject to make entertaining but maybe do something hands on so we can try and learn that way? Not sure.
Recorded Lectures are being reviewed and re-copied to improve on the delivery.

Examination
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.
