Please leave this template on top of your student page as I will add your assessment items here. Beginning your online work - Working Online in this course Make your own page. Log-in to the embryology website using your student ID and Zpass. Click your student number (shown in red at the top right of the screen following log-in) Create page using the tab at the top of the page, and save. Add the following to the top of your page exactly as shown - {{ANAT2341Student2016}} How would you identify your Type in a group and add to your page. What was the most interesting thing you learnt in the fertilisation lecture? If you have done the above correctly your ZID should be blue and not red on this page link - ANAT2341 2016 Students. Here is the example page I made in Lab 1 Student Page. With a few more explanatory notes.

Lab 1 Assessment - Researching a Topic
In the lab I showed you how to find the PubMed reference database and search it using a topic word. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper. Add a new Sub-heading "Lab 1 Assessment" (without the quotes). Search the database for a reference on "fertilisation" published in the last 5 years. It must be a research article not a Review. The full paper must be available online, not just the abstract. Add a link to this reference using its PMID using this code <pubmed>XXXXX</pubmed> replacing the Xs with just the PMID number (no text). Under the reference write a short summary of the papers main findings. Only 1-2 paragraphs. Must not be a copy of the paper abstract. Save and you are done.
Lab 2 Assessment - Uploading an Image
Upload a research image using the guide information below. The image uploaded for your individual assessment can relate to your project or from fertilisation to week 3 of development (upload only a single image). Add that image to your own individual page (see Images) including an image title and its reference link. No two students should upload the same image, check new images before you upload. No student can delete an image once uploaded, please contact me by email with the image address and I will delete (with no penalty, just glad to help out). 2016 Group Project Topic - Signaling in Development OK you are now in a group Go to the blank group page and add a topic that interests you along with your student signature. No two groups can do the same topic, but at this stage the final topic has not yet been decided (next week). Initially the topic can be as specific or as broad as you want.

Lab 4 Assessment - GIT Quiz
ANAT2341 Quiz Example | Category:Quiz | ANAT2341 Student 2015 Quiz Questions | Design 4 quiz questions based upon gastrointestinal tract. Add the quiz to your own page under Lab 4 assessment and provide a sub-sub-heading on the topic of the quiz. An example is shown below (open this page in view code or edit mode). Note that it is not just how you ask the question, but also how you explain the correct answer.
Lab 5 Assessment - Course Review
Complete the course review questionnaire and add the fact you have completed to your student page.
Lab 6 Assessment - Cleft Lip and Palate
Identify a known genetic mutation that is associated with cleft lip or palate. Identify a recent research article on this gene. How does this mutation affect developmental signalling in normal development.
Lab 7 Assessment - Muscular Dystrophy
What is/are the dystrophin mutation(s)? What is the function of dystrophin? What other tissues/organs are affected by this disorder? What therapies exist for DMD? What animal models are available for muscular dystrophy?
Lab 8 Assessment - Quiz
A brief quiz was held in the practical class on urogenital development.
Lab 9 Assessment - Peer Assessment
This will form part of your individual assessment for the course. Each student should now look at each of the other Group projects in the class. Next prepare a critical assessment (should include both positive and negative issues) of each project using the project group assessment criteria. This assessment should be pasted without signature on the top of the specific project's discussion page. (minimum length 3-5 paragraphs/project) This critical assessment should also be pasted on your own student page. Each student should therefore have 5 separate reports pasted on their own page for this assessment item. Length, quality and accuracy of your reports will be part of the overall mark for this assessment. there will be a greater loading on this than simple question assessments.
Lab 10 Assessment - Stem Cells
As part of the assessment for this course, you will give a 15 minutes journal club presentation in Lab 10. For this you will in your current student group discuss a recent (published after 2011) original research article (not a review!) on stem cell biology or technology. Lab 10 - Stem Cell Presentations 2016 Group Mark Assessor General Comments Group 1: 15/20 Group 2: 19/20 Group 3: 20/20 Group 4: 19/20 Group 5: 16/20 Group 6: 16/20 The students put great effort in their presentation and we heard a nice variety of studies in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine today. The interaction after the presentation was great. As general feedback I would like to advise students to: Never discuss M&M as a separate section in journal clubs. I gave this advice prior to the lab, but still most groups did talk through the M&M section. Do not use your slides as cheat sheets, avoid text on slides, know what messages you need to get across, use images to illustrate these Engage with your slides. Talk through them. Point at panels. Gauge your audience’s understanding by making eye contact with them Avoid using abbreviations. Most people do not readily understand these and will lose track
Lab 11 Assessment - Heart Development
Read the following recent review article on heart repair and from the reference list identify a cited research article and write a brief summary of the paper's main findings. Then describe how the original research result was used in the review article. <pubmed>26932668</pubmed>Development

Belbin Team Roles

Personally I believe that I have qualities which are found in many of the team roles outlined in 'Belbin's Model Team Roles' and it is difficult to restrict myself to a single role, however I feel that I am most closely correlated with the role of an implementer. I enjoy hands on work which engages me directly and have shown in the past to be efficient at coalescing ideas from multiple group members in order to work towards a common goal. As the provided description denotes I am not very particular when selecting which part of a team assignment I will take upon myself, however I disagree with the inflexibility and close-mindedness points as I am always open to new ideas which could further improve any plans that I may have already made.

Lecture 1: Fertilisation

Embryology is a area which I am somewhat familiar with however during my previous studies it was only touched upon, the fertilization lecture opened my eyes to just how intricate this single process really is and how much more there is to embryology than I knew. I myself found the sex determination steps the most interesting especially how male gonad development is activated by a Sry gene on the Y chromosome.

Lab 1 Assessment

<pubmed>27502144</pubmed> Malaria is a disease spread via the Anopheles mosquito and over the last four decades vector control methods have become increasingly ineffective due to the emergence of drug resistant parasites. As a result there is much need for an effective antimalarial vaccine to be developed and transmission-blocking vaccines (TBV) are one option which is expected to play a key role in efficient malaria control. The research article aims to test whether or not by combining two sexual-stage antigens in a TBV (the gametocyte antigen Pys48/45 and ookinete surface protein Pys25) a stronger antibody response can be achieved than by utilizing only a single antigen when immunized into mice.

Results founded that both Pys25 and Pys48/45 targeting the pre- and post-fertilization antigens respectively exhibited induced functional transmission-blocking capabilities, with serum from Pys-25 showing a markedly stronger transmission-blocking activity than Pys48/45. This being said the combination of both these DNA constructs during immunization resulted in an inhibitory effect with a drop in transmission-blocking activity due to interference between the two, however the composite vaccination did show higher activity when compared to the Pys48/45 only vaccination group. The findings do not yet reveal whether this phenomenon is only active in DNA vaccines and forms the ground work in working towards future possible efficacious composite vaccines.

Mark Hill 18 August 2016 - You have added the citation correctly and written a good brief summary of the article findings. Unfortunately, this paper is not on the topic described for assessment, unless you include malaria development. Please always read the assessment requirements and if in doubt contact the assessor for clarification. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper.
