Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: • Identify the major structures and general function of the brain. • Explain how different structures of the CNS integrate to form functional circuits that control important brain functions such as memory, emotions, motor control etc. • Develop an ability to predict and explain the anatomical basis for a number of CNS disorders.! !

Course Content and Schedule Lectures: Tuesday and Thursday 10:30-11:20 am. Lectures will be broadcast live using Echo 360 virtual classroom software. Students may choose to attend live online or use the recording at a later time. Laboratory Demonstrations: Labs are held in Dental Sciences Building (DSB) Room 2005 on Fridays, 9:30-3:30 (5 sections; 50 minutes each). Students are expected to come prepared to the demonstrations having reviewed the Lab Outline and viewed pre-lab videos (2 each week). Attendance at demonstration sessions is expected. Laboratory videos have been created using human cadaveric material. This course is privileged to be able to provide human cadaveric specimens for student learning. These specimens have been donated by individuals through Western’s Body Bequeathal Program and hence, we expect the utmost of respect for them by our students. Photographing the specimens or sharing videos for use outside of this course is strictly prohibited. Several resources have been suggested to allow students to review cadaveric specimen images outside of the lab.

!All online assignments and quizzes are due at 11:55 pm EST unless otherwise specified

Written Exams: The written exams will be in the multiple choice format which will be graded using the Scantron system and may be examined by computer software to detect for unusual coincidences in answer patterns that may indicate cheating. Make up exams may be a combination of multiple choice questions and short answer questions. Please review the UWO policy on Scholastic Offences. If you are unable to write the scheduled exam, please see Section 14 the policy and procedures for “Absence from Course Commitments” and “Special Examinations”. Make up exams will be a combination of multiple choice and short answer questions. There is only 1 make up exam offered unless you have an approved direct conflict the date and time of the makeup. The next opportunity to write a make up exam (with approval from Academic counsellors) is with the next offering of the course – either Summer 2022 or Fall 2022. Exams are not re-weighted in this course.

!

The Lab Assessment will be in a “bell-ringer” format. These assessments will be during the regularly scheduled lab times in DSB 2005. Students will have 1 min per question with scheduled rest breaks. More information will be released closer to the exam date. Please review the UWO policy on Scholastic Offences. If you are unable to write the scheduled exam, please see the Section 14 for the policy and procedures for “Absence from Course Commitments” and “Special Examinations”. Weekly Lab Assignments will be completed for each lab session and submitted on Friday by 11:55pm (EST) If you are unable to complete an Assignment, please see Section 14 on the policy and procedures for “Absence from Course Commitments” There are no make up assignments, instead, you will be granted an extension to allow you to complete the assignment. You are encouraged to communicate with your peers to discuss the content of the assignments however, your submitted assignments must be your own work. Failure to do so, may constitute a Scholastic Offence. Weekly Quizzes will be completed online. Quizzes will cover the material presented that week in the lectures and the lab videos. You will receive access to quizzes on Owl and you will have 1 attempt and 30 minutes to complete each quiz of 10 questions. You cannot revisit any of the questions. The quizzes are released at 1130am on Thursdays and must be completed by Friday at 900am. You are expected to complete these quizzes on an individual basis. There are no make ups for the quizzes. The lowest mark will be dropped for everyone in lieu of make up quizzes.

Information about late or missed evaluations: Late assessments without illness self-reports will be subject to a late penalty 2%/day Late assignments with illness self-reports and communication with Dr. Barbeau should be submitted by Sunday at 11:55pm A make-up exam will be offered typically 1 week following the originally scheduled exam. Make up exams will be a combination of MCQ and written answers. Reweighting of assessments is not possible. If a make-up exam is missed with documentation, the student will receive an INC and complete the task the next time the course is offered (Summer 2022 or Fall 2022).

12. How to Be Successful in this Class: Students enrolled in this class should understand the level of autonomy and self-discipline required to be successful.

!

1. “Attend” the lectures on a regular schedule. It is not possible to view all of the lectures for the first time the week before the exam and expect success. Anatomy takes time to understand the relationships and functions of the structures. Give yourself lots of time to learn the material. If you find yourself more than 2 lectures “behind”, use this as a wake-up call to get caught up. Binge watching is for Netflix, not Anatomy lectures! 2. Follow weekly checklists created on OWL or create your own to help you stay on track. 3. Take notes as you go through the lesson material. Treat this course as you would a face-to-face course. Keeping handwritten notes or even notes on a regular Word document will help you learn more effectively than just reading or watching the videos 4. Read the textbook. After watching the lecture, you should follow up with textbook readings. 5. Connect with others. Try forming an online study group and try meeting on a weekly basis for study and peer support – “teach” each other to help you understand the material better. You will find it very helpful for your own learning if you can explain something to another person. 6. Draw it! If you can draw the anatomy, you will have an easier time understanding it. 7. Do not be afraid to ask questions! We have a knowledgeable, enthusiastic team assembled to help you succeed in this course. Take advantage of us! Post questions on the forum if you think others might have similar questions. 8. The Learning Development & Success Team at UWO (www.learning.uwo.ca) has many virtual services available to students and has prepared several documents to support online learning that might be of interest: Strategies for Successful Online Learning Preparing for Online Exams Maintaining Motivation Online

13. Western Academic Policies and Statements Absence from Course Commitments Policy on Academic Consideration for Student Absences In the interest of the health and safety of students and health care providers, you are no longer required to seek a medical note for absences this term. If you are unable to meet a course requirement due to illness you should use the Illness Reporting Tool. This tool takes the place of the need to submit a medical note and the Self-Reported Absence System formally used by undergraduate students. Accommodation for Religious Holidays The policy on Accommodation for Religious Holidays can be viewed here. Special Examinations A Special Examination is any examination other than the regular examination, and it may be offered only with the permission of the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered, in consultation with the instructor and Department Chair. Permission to write a Special Examination may be given on the basis of compassionate or medical grounds with appropriate supporting documents. To provide an opportunity for students to recover from the circumstances resulting in a Special Examination, the
