Systemic Physiology Syllabus
Course Outline (Undergraduate):
Course Title Systemic Physiology I
Course Code LFS201 Faculty of Science, Health and Education
Semester 1, 2011
DISABILITY AND LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES The University offers a range of services and supports for students with a disability and it is important that these are negotiated early in the semester. Students who require alternative arrangements such as Special Exam Arrangements and assessment or study support should discuss their needs with the Disability Services Officer and/or the Course Coordinator as soon as possible. The University offers a range of academic skills services to assist students with the development of writing and study skills. Workshops on topics such as critical thinking, …show more content…
Revision questions and practice quizzes will be available on Blackboard to help you revise and study for this assessment item. Task 4 is a comprehensive, two hour final examination, consisting of multiple choice questions, short and long answer questions. It will be based on the theoretical components of the course materials covered throughout the 13 weeks of semester 1. The examination will be held during the end of semester centrally scheduled examination period. Students are expected to make themselves available during the examination period. Assessment Criteria Students will be assessed on the following: • the level of comprehension of the theoretical content • ability to provide correct answers to questions on the theoretical content sourced from the course lectures and readings • ability to apply knowledge from lectures and readings to problems relevant to physiology ANY ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS Assignment Submission Please read the specific assignment instructions carefully for assignment submission. Students who fail to submit an assessment item on time may be penalised 5% per day (including weekends) until the assignment is submitted. Students may also be asked to submit electronic copies to Blackboard and/or SafeAssign – please check assignment instructions carefully. …show more content…
