This page is a link to undergraduate course class notes at UNSW. These notes include links to lecture and laboratory summaries, slides, movie and audio content.
Class notes available on this page include: Vertebrate Development (Science), Neuroanatomy (Science), Beginnings Growth and Development (Medicine), Frontiers in Brain Research (General Students) and historic class notes (Medicine and Science) from earlier years.
These materials are for educational use only by currently enrolled students.
About Content | Foundations (Medicine) | Beginnings Growth and Development (Medicine) | Society and Health (Medicine) | Independent Learning Program (ILP) | ANAT2341 Embryology (Science) | ANAT3411 Neuroanatomy (Science) | ANAT1521 (Science) | HESC1540 (Science) | Frontiers in Brain Research (General Students) | Historic Notes (Medicine/Science)
Some lectures and laboratories (practicals) have designated webpages with links to all content for that class including external resource links. Additional online content may require either a specific reader application or connection speed for optimal use. Note that the current UNSW Embryology CD (Version 8.0) may not contain all the current UNSW Embryology online content which is continually updated, check the 2009 Update Log for changes.
Slides are prepared as PDF documents that
require Acrobat Reader and can be opened and viewed (1 slide/page) or the lecture handout printed (either 4 or 6 slides/page).
Movies are Quicktime format that require Quicktime to be installed.
Audio recordings are available using the trial iLecture system (only during semester of actual Lecture).
Audio recordings are also being made available using Podcasting and should play through any MP3 application
or mobile player.

"Phase 2 consists of 4 x 8-week modules, with increased clinical content and an emphasis on correlation between prior and current learning. Learning involves interactions with patients in clinical environments, combined with small group tutorials, integrated science practicals, and an extended case-based methodology. Students progress through one cycle of the four organising domains." Phase 2 Information
