ANAT10130

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of the module the student should be able to: explain the classification of bones and joints, describe the regional anatomy of the shoulder and upper limb and describe the structure of hip and lower limb. The student should also be able to correctly identify anatomical features in prosections or osteological specimens as well as understand the surface anatomy of the limbs. The student should be able to apply their knowledge of anatomy to relevant clinical scenarios in sports medicine.

Indicative Module Content:

In accordance with university policy, lectures and practicals will be offered in a face-to-face format wherever possible. University policy may change to reflect updated public health advice. Should any changes in policy occur, the module coordinator will communicate directly with students via email to explain any changes in the module.

Practicals:
- Practical 1 - Osteology of the Upper Limb (Face-to-face)

Student Effort Hours:

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

- Attendance at lectures & practicals
- Completion of prescribed online learning material
- Lecture slides and practical guidelines are available ahead of time and can serve as a study guideline
- Students should carefully study chapters 1, 3 & 7 of the recommended textbook (Moore’s Essential Clinical Anatomy 6th Edition)
- Students should make use of an anatomy atlas (such as 6th Edition of Atlas of Human Anatomy by Frank Netter) during their study
- Students should indicate any topics of the course that they would like revised in the revision lectures which take place late in the lecture series

Learning Recommendations:

A background in Biology is an advantage

Assessment Strategy  

 

Please see Student Jargon Buster for more information about remediation types and timing. 

Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Group feedback will automatically be provided to the class group. Individual feedback (if requested) is provided primarily by email but may also take place in a prearranged one-to-one meeting subject to the availability of the marking examiner. Feedback is usually available from within 20 working days of the examination.
