Unit description
This unit builds on the basic anatomy taught in ANAT1001 (previously known as HLTH108) (Introduction to Anatomy). It focuses on the musculoskeletal anatomy of the upper and lower limbs and back. The unit utilises an integrated approach within which relevant gross and radiological anatomy as well as histology and embryology are investigated in detail. It is clinically oriented and focuses on surface and applied anatomy. The unit includes a significant practical component in which human remains, models, medical images, surface anatomy and clinical cases are studied. Students are expected to show an appreciation and respect for those who have bequeathed their bodies to science. |
Information about important academic dates including deadlines for withdrawing from units are available at https://www.mq.edu.au/study/calendar-of-dates
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
Grade descriptors and other information concerning grading are contained in the Macquarie University Assessment Policy. All final grades are determined by a grading committee, in accordance with the Macquarie University Assessment Policy, and are not the sole responsibility of the Unit Convenor. Students will be awarded a final grade and a mark which must correspond to the grade descriptors specified in the Assessment Procedure (clause 128). To pass this unit, you must demonstrate sufficient evidence of achievement of the learning outcomes, meet any ungraded requirements, and achieve a final mark of 50 or better. Further details for each assessment task will be available on iLearn.
Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (OF THE TOTAL POSSIBLE MARK) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of ‘0’ will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11.55pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern. For example:

For any late submissions of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, and/or scheduled practical assessments/labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.
Online Quizzes
There are ten weekly online quizzes (as per timetable). Each Quiz typically includes multiple choice, matching, T/F and identification questions on the topics of the given week. Questions are drawn from a database organised by specific subtopics for each question in the quiz. Time allocated: around 1.5-2 min per each question. The Quiz closes automatically once the time allocated runs out. Unfinished attempts will be saved automatically. 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 to complete it in your own time. Late attempts are not allowed (zero marks). Written feedback will be provided. The best SEVEN marks out of TEN 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
The Prac Exam 1 (Week 6) and Prac Exam 2 (Week 13), focus on practical identifications of anatomical structures. These tests are typically held in the usual scheduled practical laboratory classes, in the wet laboratory, in person. 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 stations, each with five identifications. Some relevant theoretical questions may also be included. The scope of Prac Exam 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. For these assessments, students must attend the class they are enrolled in. 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/specialconsideration). Applications for special consideration should be submitted online within 5 days of the missed assessment (see: www.ask.mq.edu.au). The supplementary prac exams will be condacted in similar way as the main sittings (e.g. if prac exam was conducted in person, the supplementary prac exam will also be in person). Note: the supplementary prac exams are typically conducted AFTER EXAMINATION PERIOD; therefore, please do not plan your travel until confirming the date for the supplementary. There will be no individual sittings of prac exams due to the nature of the prac exams.
Presentation
This is an individual presentation on a topic selected by a student from a list of topics suggested. The presentation mode may include a video, podcast or power point presentation. As this is a newly-introduced assessment, more details will be provided via iLearn platform, including a detailed marking rubric. The presentation contributes 10% towards the final mark for the unit.
Final Theory Examination
This examination is held during the formal examination period, at the end of the semester. Its value is 35% 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. A typical structure of the examination paper includes around 60 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 clinical scenarios and problems discussed in lectures and tutorials. The content of this examination is aligned with the learning outcomes for the unit and all learning activities that students participate in throughout the entire semester. The confidence in the knowledge and the examination skills will be built consistently throughout participation in weekly summative and formative quizzes (multiple choice questions) and tutorial discussions (problem solving and clinical cases). Special Consideration procedures are as described above.

The following changes have been introduced into the unit design:
A number of logistical issues have been modified following continous work with student representatives and based on student feedback.
Social inclusion at Macquarie University is about giving everyone who has the potential to benefit from higher education the opportunity to study at university, participate in campus life and flourish in their chosen field. The University has made significant moves to promote an equitable, diverse and exciting campus community for the benefit of staff and students. It is your responsibility to contribute towards the development of an inclusive culture and practice in the areas of learning and teaching, research, and service orientation and delivery. As a member of the Macquarie University community, you must not discriminate against or harass others based on their sex, gender, race, marital status, carers' responsibilities, disability, sexual orientation, age, political conviction or religious belief. All staff and students are expected to display appropriate behaviour that is conducive to a healthy learning environment for everyone.
In the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences, professionalism is a key capability embedded in all our courses.
As part of developing professionalism, students are expected to attend all small group interactive sessions including clinical, practical, laboratory, work-integrated learning (e.g., PACE placements), and team-based learning activities. Some learning activities are recorded (e.g., face-to-face lectures), however you are encouraged to avoid relying upon such material as they do not recreate the whole learning experience and technical issues can and do occur. As an adult learner, we respect your decision to choose how you engage with your learning, but we would remind you that the learning opportunities we create for you have been done so to enable your success, and that by not engaging you may impact your ability to successfully complete this unit. We equally expect that you show respect for the academic staff who have worked hard to develop meaningful activities and prioritise your learning by communicating with them in advance if you are unable to attend a small group interactive session.
Another dimension of professionalism is having respect for your peers. It is the right of every student to learn in an environment that is free of disruption and distraction. Please arrive to all learning activities on time, and if you are unavoidably detained, please join activity as quietly as possible to minimise disruption. Phones and other electronic devices that produce noise and other distractions must be turned off prior to entering class. Where your own device (e.g., laptop) is being used for class-related activities, you are asked to close down all other applications to avoid distraction to you and others. Please treat your fellow students with the utmost respect. If you are uncomfortable participating in any specific activity, please let the relevant academic know.
The study of human anatomy at Macquarie University is governed by the Anatomy Act (1977) and students are admitted to the anatomy laboratories on the proviso that they comply with all relevant legislation. It is important that this includes respect and professionalism in your dealings with human material and your interactions with your colleagues and members of the public. Donating one's body to science is an act of selflessness and generosity that contributes greatly to advancing medical research and education. It behoves us all, therefore, to treat the donations with outmost care, respect and professionalism. Failure to do so not only can result in serious reputational consequences for you and the University, but can result in suspension, expulsion and possible imprisonment. Please behave professionally at all times and treat our valuable human anatomy teaching resources with utmost care and respect. Thank you.
