Description
The aim of this module is to introduce the student to the basic systems of the human body (in combination with Human Anatomy and Physiology II) and to provide a foundation for more specific studies in Physical Activity, Exercise Physiology, and Human Nutrition and Diet modules.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Have a good level of knowledge in the anatomical terminology appropriate to the areas of the Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory, Circulatory and Digestive systems
2.
Have a good level of knowledge of the physiology of the Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory, Circulatory and Digestive systems
3.
Demonstrate a range of laboratory skills and operate basic laboratory instruments used in physiological practical experimentation.
4.
Demonstrate an ability for autonomous, independent learning and be self-directed in terms of time, motivation and planning
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered full-time. This will include lectures and laboratory practicals augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes).
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 65% CA and 35% Final Exam. A mix of assessment methods will be used to evaluate a variety of learning styles.
The practical component (40%) is assessed by a mix of weekly write-ups and a short answer quiz containing questions that are in the laboratory manual.
Short Moodle quizzes on each topic (7), with unlimited attempts over a 2 week period, are used to encourage engagement with the topics, and provide feedback to the students on their own progress. These are awarded 10% of the CA marks.
An MCQ (15%) takes place in the second half of the semester, and the Final Exam (35%) takes place at the end of the semester.
The student must reach an assigned gate (25%) in the final exam and achieve 40% overall to pass the subject.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat Continuous Assessment and/or Final Exam
Students will be asked to Repeat Attend if they fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement of 75% in practicals.
