==Course evaluation and development==
Periodically student evaluative feedback on the course is gathered, using among other means, UNSW Course and Teaching Evaluation and Improvement (CATEI) Process. Student feedback is taken seriously, and continual course improvements are based in part on such feedback. For example, previous student feedback on lecture slides availability and online materials navigation has led to changes in both lecture presentations and development of a new online resource with better navigation and access.

Introduction

Dr Mark Hill, course coordinator

The course coordinator is Dr Mark Hill, my office is located in Wallace Wurth ground floor room G20.

ANAT2341 is a second semester course commencing in July 2012.


Welcome to Embryology in 2012 and thank you for choosing this exciting topic! In the past 20 years as a researcher I have seen enormous changes in our understanding of this subject and the methods we employ to further our knowledge in this field. This topic and its associated methodologies are now found at the core of scientific investigations and key to current medical research.

This page will introduce the current course and link to related online resources (bookmark this as your start page). This is a new online resource, content and links will be added during your current course. Feel free to explore the site and prepare yourself for the upcoming course by some background reading.

Rationale for the inclusion of content and teaching approach

Medicine computer lab

This course includes content to enable students to develop communications skills and practices that will enhance their development as a medical researcher. It reflects my position that students should be able to use the latest tools in information technology and online practices.

Teaching strategies

Each week 2 lectures will introduce topics of early embryological development and later focus upon systematic development. Laboratories are designed to complement the course lecture material, allow individual and small group work and also include topics related to specific researchers within the school. Laboratories also include time for tutorials in online group project work and for to discuss and co-ordinate the group project.

Assessment

There are three main forms of course assessment tasks shown below.

Assessment task
Length
Weight
Learning outcomes assessed
Graduate attributes assessed
Due date
Individual Tasks Throughout the semester 20 % Critical thinking and initiative, information literacy Scholarly enquiry of research literature Throughout the semester
Group Project One online project page 20 % Information literacy and effective communication Initiative and collaborative work
Theory Examination 2 hours 60 % Engagement with the relevant disciplinary knowledge in its interdisciplinary context Apply developmental theory to anatomical development Within the S2 exam period

For more information see also UNSW Guidelines on Learning

Examiner The course organizer (Dr Mark Hill) will be the examiner. The course assessor is Prof Edna Hardeman.

Group Assessment will be an online small group (4-5 student) embryology project prepared throughout the semester, assessed by peers and the course coordinator. Detailed information will be available online and in the laboratory times.

Laboratory Assessment will be a series of short answer questions prepared throughout the semester relating to embryology lecture and laboratory content.

Theory examination will be an internal exam within the session two exam period and will conform to University examination guidelines. Students absent through illness or misadventure should immediately contact UNSW Student Central. For more information see UNSW A-Z Guide Special Consideration.

Supplementary examinations will only be offered if the student is unable to attend the final examination for medical or misadventure reasons.

Assignment and Lab Project Dates Current planned submission and project assessment dates are shown in the printed course schedule and timetable.

Submission of Assessment Tasks Student individual and group assessment tasks are submitted online, except for some specialized tasks submitted by guest lecturers. Submission dates will be given when the task is initially set and late submissions penalized by 5% / day late.

Academic honesty and plagiarism

Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. Plagiarism is a type of intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally copying from a source without acknowledgement. With regard to the group project work please note the statement:

"Claiming credit for a proportion of work contributed to a group assessment item that is greater than that actually contributed;"

Note - All student online contributions are recorded by date, time, and the actual contributed content.

Academic Misconduct carries penalties. If a student is found guilty of academic misconduct, the penalties include warnings, remedial educative action, being failed in an assignment or excluded from the University for two years. The University has also adopted an educative approach to plagiarism and has developed a range of resources to support students. For more information see: http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism

Course evaluation and development

 Periodically student evaluative feedback on the course is gathered, using among other means, UNSW Course and Teaching Evaluation and Improvement (CATEI) Process. Student feedback is taken seriously, and continual course improvements are based in part on such feedback. For example, previous student feedback on lecture slides availability and online materials navigation has led to changes in both lecture presentations and development of a new online resource with better navigation and access.
