General Information

Overview

The unit examines the human body from a three-dimensional perspective. Each major anatomical structure is studied in terms of its spatial characteristics, both internally and relative to its surroundings, body planes and external landmarks. Relational anatomy knowledge is then applied to identification of those structures on medical images of a variety of modalities.

Assessment Tasks

1 On-campus Activity

Assessment Title
Lab activity and in-class test

Task Description

Radiographers are health professionals who are responsible for imaging human anatomy. As such, they are expected to be able to identify organs and structures in any cross-section and at any level in the body. The relative positions of organs may help to differentiate normal from abnormal body processes. In this task you are required to identify, describe and orient structures in the human body using terminology expected of a radiographer.


There are two (2) parts to this assessment.


Part 1: Lab Activities

The three (3) lab activities are a series of tasks where you will use the 3D anatomical models, diagnostic images and other lab resources to reinforce your knowledge of the location, size, orientation and relative positions of major structures studied during Weeks 1 - 6 and your use of professional terminology to communicate that knowledge. The lab-based activities are timetabled in the morning of your chosen residential school.


For each lab activity there is an associated on-line, time-limited quiz on the related theory material. Each quiz will have a set of questions related to anatomical photographs, and/or diagrams as well as radiographs and sectional images. Quiz questions may include labeling of anatomy and stating spatial relationships between structures. Quiz questions will be drawn at random from a question bank. Each quiz contributes 3 marks towards the overall total of 40 marks for this assessment piece.


You may attempt each quiz, before, during or after your lab session, but you will only get one attempt at each quiz. Once you open a quiz, you will have 15 minutes to complete it. You will not be able to pause or re-start a quiz once it has been opened. All quizzes will be available via the unit Moodle site up to the due date stated below.


You must undertake the quizzes as individuals and not with classmates or others. As with all other University assessments, colluding with other students on a non-group work task is considered academic misconduct and will be dealt with in accordance with the Student Academic Integrity policy. The quizzes are open-book, but be mindful of the time-limited nature of the quizzes.


Part 2:


The in-class test will assess your knowledge of the name, location, size, orientation and relative position of major structures studied during Weeks 1 - 6. Question tasks may include identifying and locating structures on anatomical models, diagrams and/or diagnostic images, describing morphological features of major structures and articulating spatial relationships between structures and body landmarks. The in-class test is a closed-book test of 90 minutes plus 5 minutes of perusal time. 


The in-class test will be held on the afternoon of your selected residential school, which runs only at the Mackay Ooralea campus. The test must be completed st the scheduled time on the scheduled date. If you are more than 30 minutes late you will not be admitted to the test room.



The final mark for this assessment is the sum of the marks for the three (3) on-line quizzes and the mark for the in-class test, for a total of 40 marks.

In the absence of an approved assessment extension, if you do not compete all parts of this assessment by the stated due date and time, you will receive a mark of zero for each component(s) not completed. There is no provision for a late submission or a late submission penalty.

Academic Integrity Statement

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.
