Description of Module Assessment

1: Open Book Examination weighted 70%
Open Book Exam
Two 1500 word essays on related physiology and anatomy topics detailed by module coordinator. Each essay will address one topic from 6 topic essay questions. To facilitate the study of all taught topics in this module, the six essay questions will be released at the end of the lecture period of the module, allowing essay preparation for 3 weeks, then 2 essay questions will be assigned at the exam day and the essays will be allowed to submit in 48 hours. To pass the module, the mean mark of two essays should be 50 or above.

2: Laboratory Assessment weighted 30%
Laboratory report
Essay-style report with maximum 1500 words based on practical sessions carried out in the Anatomy Suite, David Weatherall Building.

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so.
