Online Quizzes There are seven quizzes (weeks 2,3,4,5,8,9,11). Each Quiz typically consists of around 10 questions (multiple choice, matching, T/F) on the theory of the given week. Questions are drawn from a database organised by specific subtopics for each question in the quiz. Time allocated: around 1-1.5 min per each question. The Quiz closes automatically once the time allocated runs out. Unfinished attempts are automatically saved. You have ONE attempt at each question and ONE attempt for the whole quiz. The Quiz will become available on the Friday evening of the allocated week and will stay open for one week for you to complete it in your own time. Late attempts are not allowed (zero marks). Written feedback will be provided. The best FIVE marks out of SEVEN marks for the quizzes are counted towards the 20% of the final mark for the unit. The schedule of quizzes and their topics can be found in the timetable and iLearn.

Practical Examinations Practical examinations, the Prac Exam 1(Week 6) and Prac Exam 2 (Week 13), focus on practical identifications of anatomical structures. Therefore, typically these tests are held in the usual scheduled practical laboratory classes (i.e. in the wet laboratory). However, due to COVID, this is a subject to change (prac exams may need to be conducted online depending on the COVID advice). Students will be advised via iLearn announcements of any changes in the timetable or location of these tests. Prac Exams assess students' ability to identify correctly anatomical structures on human remains, bones, models, medical images, and surface anatomy on real specimens and/or photographs. Typically, there are around 15-20 stations with several identifications in each. Some relevant theoretical questions may also be included. The scope of Prac Exam t 1 is on the practical knowledge achieved during the first five weeks of the semester, and Prac Exam 2 examines the practical knowledge relevant to weeks 6 throughout to week 13. The value of Prac Exam 1 is 15% and of Prac Exam 2 is 20% towards the final mark for the unit. Students must attend the class they are enrolled in, unless permission has been granted by the Campus Well Being and Disability Services. Students with a pre-existing disability/health condition or prolonged adverse circumstances may be eligible for ongoing assistance and support. Such support is governed by other policies and may be sought and coordinated through Campus Wellbeing and Support Services. If a practical exam is missed a supplementary exam will only be considered under the Special Consideration policy (https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special- consideration). Applications for special consideration should be submitted online within 5 days of the missed assessment (see: www.ask.mq.edu.au).

Final Theory Examination This examination is held during the formal examination period, at the end of the semester. Its value is 45% towards the final mark. The examination is based on the entire content studied throughout the term covering gross anatomy of the limbs and back. The format of this paper comprises multiple choice and short answer questions, including clinical cases and problem-solving. A typical structure of the examination paper includes around 60-70 multiple choice questions (answers to be filled in the automated marking sheets) and several (e.g. three to five) short answer questions (answers to be written in the answer booklet provided). Short answer questions are based on scenarios discussed in lectures adn tutorials. The content of this examination is aligned with the learning outcomes for the unit and all the learning and teaching activities that students participate in throughout the semester. The confidence in the knowledge and the examination skills will be built consistently throughout participation in weekly quizzes (multiple choice questions)  and tutorial discussions (problem solving and clinical cases). There will be no identification tasks in the final theory examination. Special Consideration procedures are as described above.

1. Unit Schedule  A typical weekly schedule includes:

• three 1-hour lectures (see timetable); lectures are delivered online via pre-recordings available from ECHO360 in iLearn.
• one 2-hour face-to-face laboratory as per enrolment; students will be using models, bones, images and human remains specimens; prior to attending the lab, students are advised to watch around 30min video demonstrations via Acland's Video Atlas software (available via MQU Library; this can be done any time before the lab); Unit Manual will be available via iLearn; students can print their own copy of the manual; to attend the lab, students are required to wear enclosed shoes, lab coat and face mask; students are permitted to attend the labs strictly as per enrolment.
• independent work (at least 4 hours); this include tasks outlined in the Unit Manual, online activities including revision, 'check your understanding' online tutorials, formative quizzes, labelling tasks, and optional resources.

2. Classes  Please make your choice for practical and tutorial classes on E-student. You can only attend the classes according to your class registration. If you appear at another practical, you will be turned away. Under exceptional circumstances, practical times may be changed, but ONLY if you have a written approval from the Unit Convenor. Participation in practical classes is a hurdle requirement for this unit. It is a condition of passing the unit that students must actively participate in a minimum of 80% of the practical and tutorial classes for the semester.  

3. Required Texts and Materials  The unit iLearn website can be accessed through the ilearn.mq.edu.au. Unit Manual (includes Lab and Tut notes) is available in iLearn. You can print your own copy. All lecture and tutorial slides will be posted on iLearn. You will find a link to Echo recordings of the lectures on this website. You will also find a Leganto link on iLearn that will show you the library resources available to support your learning. Please note that there is a limit in the number of users that simultaneously can access the electronic textbooks. Therefore, it might be a good idea to purchase your own textbook - see a list of prescribed texts below (available via Booktopia). Later or earlier editions of the textbooks/atlases are acceptable (you can discuss this with your tutors and/or convenor). Further readings can be found via the Leganto link.

• Prescribed textbooks: Vogl, Drake, & Mitchell (2019) Gray's Anatomy for Students. 4th Ed, Elsevier; OR Moore, Dalley, & Agur (2017) Clinically Oriented Anatomy. 8th Ed, Wolters Kluwer 
• Prescribed atlases: Abrahams, Boon & Spratt (2009) McMinn’s Clinical Atlas of Human Anatomy. 6th Ed, Mosby/Saunders Elsevier, OR Rohen, Lutjen-Drecoll, & Yokochi (2015) A photographic Atlas. 8th Ed, Wolters Kluwer

Weekly unit schedule will be provided in iLearn.

In response to the COVID situation and based on student feedback, this unit has been digitally uplifted. Weekly online learning modules will assist you with revision and checking your understanding of the main learning outcomes for a given week. Formative quizzes and labelling tasks will provide endless opportunities to learn flexibly and to practice the format of the real assessments. All formative learning activities have immediate feedback that will help you learning efficiently. According to student feedback and to enhance student learning efficiency and wellbeing, the assessment structure for the unit has changed. The value of Quiz has increased from 10% to 20% and the number of quizzes increased from three to seven. This will facilitate breaking the content into smaller chunks and help focussing studying week-by-week rather than crumming material towards three quizzes two of which are held at the end of semester. Counting the best five of the seven marks allows a 'space for an error' and alleviates extra-pressure associated with high-value assessment items. The value of the practical examinations (which are considered by majority students as the most challenging aspect of the unit) has decreased to a combined 35% instead of 50%. This is representative of the unit LOs and supports a positive alignment of the assessment, learning activities and objectives in the unit. It also removes an excessive stress from the end of the semester when students required to achieve most of the marks allocated for continuous assessment. We value feedback from students and will be working together with you to ensure that we will provide the best possible learning experience. Should you have any concerns or suggestions, do not hesitate to email the unit convenor.
