Rationale As part of Murdoch University’s response to COVID-19, changes have been made to your unit. This is to enable it to be delivered online and maintain the safety of all Murdoch University staff and students and meet current Australian Government physical distancing requirements. We hope we won’t have to, but we may need to alter the unit to address any new guidelines issued by the Australian Government. Below, you will find updated information on how to study this unit; specifically we have detailed changes to Timetables, Learning Activities and Assessments for the remainder of Semester 1. The Unit teaching team wishes you good luck this semester and we look forward to working with you online.

How to Study this Unit The learning objectives for this unit remain unchanged from those in the Unit Guide. As previously, please refer to the online lecture summaries for the detailed learning objectives for each topic, learning the key words and using the study questions to guide your learning.

Timetabled Learning Activities Lectures Lecture recordings from 2019 have now been provided for all lecture topics. Each week you should refer to the UPDATED TIMETABLE and watch the relevant recorded lectures BEFORE the scheduled time. THEN, at the scheduled time please log into the online unit to participate in a LIVE CHAT session via the online classroom tool COLLABORATE. In this session you will be able to ask questions (via the chat tool) and interact with staff and classmates.

Laboratory and Online workshops For LABORATORY CLASSES, you should continue to complete the lab manual using the online resources provided in the “laboratory manual and resources folder” (including VIDEOS and illustrations of specimens) together with your textbook and with your peers through the dedicated online discussion forums. THEN, at the scheduled time please log into the online unit to participate in a LIVE CHAT session via the online classroom tool COLLABORATE. In this session you will be able to ask questions (via the chat tool) and interact with staff and classmates. The ONLINE LAB QUIZZES will continue as scheduled in the revised timetable to assess your understanding of this practical material.
