On successful completion of this course, students should be able to discuss in detail, nervous system anatomy and physiology and relate this to fundamental clinical tests of neurological function. Sensory and motor nervous system integration will be illustrated via investigation of nerve reflexes and skills in using anatomical landmarks to locate major peripheral nerves. Students will study neuropharmacology and should be able to explain the mechanism of action of the major drug groups affecting neurological function. Distance education (FLEX) students will be required to have access to a computer to make frequent use of internet resources and to attend a residential school on Rockhampton campus to promote development of course learning outcomes.

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%).
