2 Part II Course Details 1. Abstract This course presents a systemic approach to the study of the human body. Lecture presentation begins with an introduction of anatomical terminology and an overview of cellular processes and tissue classification. Students then learn the gross and microscopic anatomy of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. The laboratory component of the course generally parallels and reinforces lecture concepts through the use of models, histological slides, skeletal materials and cadaver demonstration. Lectures meet three times weekly. Students also attend two 2-hour labs per week. 2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) (CILOs state what the student is expected to be able to do at the end of the course according to a given standard of performance.) No. CILOs # Weighting* (if applicable) 1. Identify the names and functions of anatomical structures. Discovery-enriched curriculum related learning outcomes (please tick where appropriate) A1 A2 A3 2. Identify anatomical structures and concepts that will help you succeed in your college program. 3. Describe the big picture of how anatomic systems work together. 4. Define and apply the clinical relevance of anatomic structure. 5. Acquire knowledge and skills of anatomy related instrumentation and techniques used in a clinical laboratory. * If weighting is assigned to CILOs, they should add up to 100%. 100% # Please specify the alignment of CILOs to the Gateway Education Programme Intended Learning outcomes (PILOs) in Section A of Annex. A1: Attitude Develop an attitude of discovery/innovation/creativity, as demonstrated by students possessing a strong sense of curiosity, asking questions actively, challenging assumptions or engaging in inquiry together with teachers. A2: Ability Develop the ability/skill needed to discover/innovate/create, as demonstrated by students possessing critical thinking skills to assess ideas, acquiring research skills, synthesizing knowledge across disciplines or applying academic knowledge to self-life problems. A3: Accomplishments Demonstrate accomplishment of discovery/innovation/creativity through producing /constructing creative works/new artefacts, effective solutions to real-life problems or new processes.

3 3. Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) (TLAs designed to facilitate students achievement of the CILOs.) TLA Brief Description CILO No. Hours/week (if applicable) Lectures Basic knowledge will be taught mainly by lectures. Tutorials A forum for problem solving by applying the knowledge learned from the lectures. Group presentations Students will be divided into groups and each group will present a talk on a topic of Laboratory practice Mid-term quiz immune disease. Experiments designed to teach the students basic laboratory techniques in immunology. A short test to evaluate the students learning outcome. 4. Assessment Tasks/Activities (ATs) (ATs are designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs.) Assessment Tasks/Activities CILO No. Weighting* Remarks Continuous Assessment: 40 % Assignment /Laboratory report 10% Group presentation 10% Mid-term quiz Examination: 60 % (duration:, if applicable) * The weightings should add up to 100%. 100% "Minimum Passing Requirement" for BMS courses: A minimum of 30% in coursework as well as in examination, in addition to a minimum of 40% in coursework and examination taken together.

4 5. Assessment Rubrics (Grading of student achievements is based on student performance in assessment tasks/activities with the following rubrics.) Assessment Task Criterion Excellent (A+, A, A-) 1. Assignment The number of Accurately correct answers answered all the and the quality of Well the answer. organised text and coherent logic. Good (B+, B, B-) >80% of the Adequate (C+, C, C-) 60% to 80% of the Marginal (D) 40% to 60% of the Failure (F) Did not hand in the assignment on time. Or correctly answered < 40% of the 2.Laboratory report The design of the experiment. The completeness of experimental records. The execution of the experiment and the interpretation of results. 3.Group presentation The content and the style of the presentation. Handling of Subject is well researched and the content is well organised. The writing is logical and coherent. > substantial. The writing is logical and coherent. between 75% and sufficient. The writing is easy to understand. between 60% and 75%. correctly presented but lacks details. The writing is not easy to understand. between 50% and 60%. Did not hand in the essay on time. Or the subject is poorly researched. < 50%. 4. Mid-term quiz The number of correct answers. > between 75% and between 60% and 75%. between 50% and 60%. < 50%.
