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 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.

As a 6-credit unit you should spend 150 hours studying and completing assessments over the term. This equates to approximately 12.5 hours of study per week. It is important that you maintain engagement with the unit content and a suggested time budget is shown below:
- Pre-reading - approximately 2 hours per week
- Watching lecture presentations and making notes - approximately 3 hours per week
- Completing formative weekly quizzes - approximately 1 hour per week
- Revising for and completing assessment tasks - approximately 50 hours over the term
1 Online Test
The online test will assess your knowledge of the name, location, size, orientation and relative position of major structures studied during Weeks 1 - 6, and your use of professional terminology to communicate that knowledge. Question tasks may include identifying and locating structures on diagrams and/or diagnostic images, describing morphological features of major structures and articulating spatial relationships between structures and body landmarks.
The online test will be time-limited, and once you open the test you will not be able to pause or re-start it. Once opened, the test will remain open for 60 minutes and will then automatically close. Any unanswered questions or unsaved responses will receive a mark of zero. The test will be made available via the unit Moodle site.
You must undertake the test 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 test is open-book, but be mindful of the time-limited nature of the test. If you answer the questions using any text other than lectures or the prescribed text, you must cite your sources using the Vancouver referencing system. Failure to cite sources constitutes academic misconduct and will be dealt with in accordance of the relevant policy.
In the absence of an approved assessment extension, if you do not complete the test by the stated due date and time, you will receive a mark of zero for this assessment.
Week 7 Wednesday (3 Jan 2024) 11:00 pm AEST
The Moodle quiz will open at 11am AEST on Wednesday 3rd January 2024 and close at 11pm AEST Wednesday 3rd January 2024
The results will be released within two weeks of all students completing the quiz (including approved extension)
Your responses are scored on the following criteria:
- correct spelling and use of professional terminology
- correctness, relevance and completeness of the response to the question asked
- critical thinking in relation to the topic of the question.
The number of marks for each question are allocated based on the depth and breadth of the required response, and will be indicated on the sidebar of the Moodle test screen.
- Describe the typical shape, size, orientation and location of each major anatomical structure
- Express using correct terminology the spatial orientation of each major anatomical structure relative to its neighbouring structures, surface landmarks and body planes
- Identify major anatomical structures on anatomical drawings, anatomical sections and medical images
- Orient sectional images relative to orthogonal body planes and body regions.
2 Online Test
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.
The end-of-term online test will assess your knowledge and understanding of all content delivered through the term, and your use of professional terminology to communicate that knowledge. Question tasks may include identifying and locating structures on diagrams and/or diagnostic images, describing morphological features of major structures and articulating spatial relationships between structures and body landmarks.
The online test will be time-limited, and once you open the test you will not be able to pause or re-start it. Once opened, the test will remain open for 120 minutes and will then automatically close. Any unanswered questions or unsaved responses will receive a mark of zero.

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.
