ABOUT THIS UNIT This interdisciplinary unit provides an overview of the basic sciences of human anatomy and physiology, exploring issues of relevance to the health sciences. Specific topics to be addressed will include: organisation of the human body, outlining anatomical terms, chemical and structural bases of cell function, body tissues including integument, homeostasis and physiological control via neural and hormonal mechanisms that maintain a constant internal environment. Support and movement through an understanding of the musculo-skeletal system, and maintenance of key systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and immune systems.

Deakin University, Faculty of Health HBS109 Human Structure and Function - Trimester 1, 2017 Unit development in response to student feedback Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each Unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this Unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link).

In 2017 we are moving towards Cloud first learning. This is being implemented with the introduction of online learning activities replacing on campus seminars, and the ability to live stream classes from anywhere. Therefore class content will be delivered to an online environment significantly improving the online learning experience in this unit. We would love to hear feedback throughout the trimester not just on eVALUate. In previous versions of this unit, students have told us that these aspects of the Unit have helped them to achieve the learning outcomes: Changing the sequencing of topics so that pracs align better with class content Incorporating multiple choice tests early in the trimester to give students a better indication of their progress Simplifying the due dates for the quizzes

If you have any concerns about the Unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.

Deakin University, Faculty of Health HBS109 Human Structure and Function - Trimester 1, 2017 Contact Hours Campus: 3 x 1 hour classes per week (students must elect to attend classes on campus or access a live video stream); 4 x 2 hour practical classes per trimester; Self-directed learning activities delivered online Cloud (online): Learning experiences are via CloudDeakin

Students will on average spend 150 hours over the trimester undertaking the teaching, learning and assessment activities for this unit. This will include 30 x 50min classes, and 4 x 2 hour practical classes, 8 x online learning activities as well as independent study. In Trimester 1, HBS109 is taught in Campus and Cloud (online) mode. Campus students will utilise classes, attend practical classes, as well as utilise the study guide, practical manual and online resources available. Cloud (online) students will utilise classes, the study guide, practical manual and resources in an online environment delivered through CloudDeakin. Communication between students and staff will be undertaken mainly in classes and using the discussion boards in CloudDeakin to allow students to share their learning experience. To discuss issues of a more sensitive nature, email or phone communication should be utilised. Students will also utilise the prescribed text to access information for their studies.

Note At Deakin, Lectures are referred to as classes (definition: a general meeting for all students, for which students do not need to register and where students are engaged through presentations and learning activities) Tutorials, workshops and seminars are referred to as seminars (definition: more interactive meetings for smaller groups of students). For the complete list of agreed definitions for learning experiences, see the Course Design and Delivery Procedure (https://policy.deakin.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00127)
