We will apply your learning to some new situations, such as cases, to prepare for exams and to gain critical thinking skills which you will need in practice

Health and safety o Everybody must undertake a health and safety test for W block every year in order to be allowed access to the physiology laboratory. o Check in, using QR codes might also be required – please arrive in time to do this o You will need personal protective equipment (PPE): o Lab coat o Safety glasses o fully enclosed shoes every week o Face masks may be required o Gloves may also be required (and will be supplied). o PPE is particularly important to protect you and others during the pandemic Text book Stanfield– Principles of Human physiology Assessment summary Assessment item

Practical workbooks (20%) Marking criteria (onshore students) Criteria Mark Completeness Practical activities and experiments are fully completed and questions in the lab manual are all thoroughly answered (given the time available). The demonstration material is observed. Participation The student attends all practicals for the duration of the practical (as required). The student participates fully and act as a subject for the generation of class data. They discuss practical activities and practical questions with other students (and demonstrators if required) and demonstrate practical skills. They do not expect demonstrators to tell them the answer but learn actively and work with the demonstrators to reach the answer. Team work The student works well with others to complete practical activities. They actively participate in the generation and analysis of data, including class data, and in the completion of the practical manual. The student shows interest and respect for the views of others. Students help each other without directly copying each others’ work. Student demonstrates a high level of academic integrity and honesty. Academic integrity Although practical activities are performed in teams and the data and answers discussed, answers are not copied from each other or from the internet. Questions are not googled or searched directly using the internet and online lab reports or answers are not copied from the internet or from others. There is no plagiarism*. Student do not copy other students’ data without being involved in the experiments. Quality Prac manual questions are answered correctly and thoroughly and critical thinking skills are demonstrated. Correct physiological terminology used. Correct units are always used. Uses good sources for answering questions, such as good quality text books, lecture and practical materials. Good quality web sites (only) are used. This can include quality University and Government websites, journal articles, and some reputable organisations. This does not include Wikipedia, Khan academy or sites selling products such as vitamins for example. Total Marks – 10 = criteria fully met to a high standard; 9 = criteria fully met to a very good standard; 8 = criteria met to a good standard; 7 = criteria are generally met; 6 = criteria are mostly met; 5 = some of the criteria are met; 4 = some of the criteria are met, but not to a good standard; 3 = few of the criteria are met; 0 = the criteria are not met. * - note that plagiarism is academic dishonesty and a mark of zero may be given.
