Advanced Topics in Applied Anatomy builds on the anatomical concepts explored in years 1 and 2 of the Applied Anatomy BSc course. Students will explore advanced topics relating to functional anatomy of human and non-human mammals in seminar and workshop settings. Topics may include: changes and variations in anatomy relating to growth, where our understanding of that constitutes 'textbook' anatomy comes from, and the athletic body.
Students will participate in and lead discussions, exploring relevant primary literature, and reflecting on the roles of anatomy and anatomical variation in our understanding of these topics.
Teaching will predominantly be delivered via seminar sessions, with workshops supporting some topics.
As part of the focus on experiential learning in the Applied Anatomy BSc, students will be expected to actively particpate in formative activities such as engagement in seminar presentations, readings and discussions.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. ANAT30014).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the University Workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The assessment methods listed in this unit specification are designed to enable students to demonstrate the named learning outcomes (LOs). Where a disability prevents a student from undertaking a specific method of assessment, schools will make reasonable adjustments to support a student to demonstrate the LO by an alternative method or with additional resources.
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
