Description

In this course, students will explore the human body’s structure and functions, and how systems interact and adapt to exercise.

Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology enables students to learn about the structure and function of the human body through weekly lectures, and lab and tutorial experiences. This very practical course will equip students to understand the basic structure and functions of organ systems of particular interest to human movement for sport and exercise participation, including
-          Bones, muscles and joints
-          Nervous system
-          Cardiovascular system
-          Respiratory system
Learning is supported through teaching sessions recorded through ECHO360, online video conferencing, worksheets, weekly online quizzes, and drop-in and email support from the course lecturer. The course text provides a rich online environment with videos, adaptive quizzes (questions get harder or easier based on your performance), learning activities and plentiful other multimedia support.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the levels of organisation in the body
2. Describe the structure and function of cells
3. Explain the concept of homeostasis and the function of homeostatic control mechanisms
4. Describe planes, joint & muscle actions using anatomical terminology in human movement contexts
5. Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine,  muscular, and skeletal systems

Attendance

Due to the carefully planned learning progressions within courses and the workshop type nature of most on-campus classes, you are expected to attend all sessions. This will ensure that you do not miss vital information which will allow you to make sense of the course content. If you are going to miss classes you are expected to email the course lecturer, catch up on missed work through classmates, view recordings (if available for the course), readings and other supplementary material provided.  In special cases, the course lecturer may provide additional support for you.

Evaluation

Students will be asked to complete course and teacher evaluations, using the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring surveys.  Survey responses are conducted electronically and are confidential. The Faculty of Education will conduct regular graduate surveys.

Grade moderation

All course assessments in the Bachelor of Sport Coaching are internally moderated.  A sample of your work may be used as part of this moderation process. Regular examiners meetings monitor the distribution of final grades in courses and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure reasonable consistency and comparability of course grades.

Late submission of work

An assessment is late if it is handed in after the due date, without a formal extension.  If an assessment is submitted after the due date, 5% will be deducted from the final grade for every day the assessment is late.  No assessments will be accepted after a period of 3 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted.

Notes

Students should refer to the Bachelor of Sport Coaching Course Handbook and course regulations for further information on course completing assignments and assessment.
The Award regulations for the Bachelor of Sport Coaching can be found within the UC Calendar.  The UC calendar is available online at:

The specific assessment details for each course, including assessment dates, can be found in the course outline which will be provided by your course lecturer at the start of the course.

Other specific requirements

All written assessment tasks and presentations must be referenced according to APA convention. (Information relating to APA referencing can be obtained from both the Central and Education Libraries.)  Notes on APA referencing can also be found in the BSpC course handbook. Each assessment submission requires a completed cover sheet (available on-line).

Requests for extensions

Students who cannot complete assessments by the due date should discuss their situation with the course lecturer and complete the appropriate extension form. Where circumstances are known in advance, the student should discuss these with the course lecturer at least one week days prior to the assessment due date. In circumstances where this is not appropriate, the student should discuss their situation with the course lecturer as soon as possible.

Resubmissions

To pass this course you are required to gain an overall average grade of C- (50%) or better across all assessments. No resubmits are available for this course.
