General Information

Overview

You will develop an understanding of the functional anatomy and physiology relevant to communication and swallowing. Topics covered include surface anatomy and the anatomical relationships of bones, muscles, blood vessels and nerves within each of the pertinent body regions. You will be required to demonstrate your understanding of the application of these topics to speech pathology practice.

Offerings For Term 2 - 2024

Rockhampton

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

Previous Student Feedback

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 Teaching team reflection and collaboration with head of course - speech pathology

Feedback

Case study viva may not be the most appropriate way to assess knowledge in an anatomy and physiology unit. Written assessment (on a case study) may be more appropriate

Recommendation

It is recommended that the case study assessment be changed from an oral to a written assessment.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Feedback

Weekly case studies provide a functional understanding of theoretical anatomy

Recommendation

It is recommended that weekly case studies align with weekly anatomy content to provide a functional understanding of the anatomy relevant to speech pathology.
